Kilkenny footballers withdraw from Allianz League 10 October 2012 Kilkenny have opted out of next year's Allianz Football League following a series of humiliating defeats this year. The county has also withdrawn from the next year's Leinster junior and U21 football championships. Instead, the Cats will enter the new British championship in 2013 where they will play London B teams, as well as teams from other parts of England and one from Scotland. This competition will be played on a round-robin basis. The move was unanimously approved by delegates at last Monday night's county board meeting. Since returning to the Allianz League four years ago, Kilkenny have recorded just one win - against London in 2008 - and have been on the receiving end of some serious hammerings. In the eight games they played in Division 4 this year, they conceding 26-195 and scored just 3-25. In this year's Leinster U21FC, Louth beat them by 50 points.
They are cleary not putting any effort into underage football in the county because they should not be that bad really. The gaa should take their hurls off them until they can win a game of football.
They are taking the piss, they are taking the powder piss . I cant see them making any effort to improve it either, the Kilkenny county board would do well to look at the work they have done in Tipp to improve football.
Exactly. You can pay lip service to the GAA or you can get off your hole and make a difference just like they did in Tipp and indeed Dublin. Kilkenny are just opting out and the GAA is supporting that decision. Disgusted in Derry RebelBhoy
