One player turns up for county training!

Four coaches for one player
Kilkenny football reached a new low last weekend...

The county minor selectors organised a training session to try to get some preparatory work in ahead of this year's Leinster MFC, but only one player showed up.

Four coaches were present, hoping to put the players through their paces.

Two clubs made contact with the organisers saying they would be unable to participate but the rest didn't even bother.

Brendan O'Sullivan from the Development Squads told Monday night's County Board meeting: "Heads go down when you mention football in the county.

"Clubs actively discourage lads from coming in. What happened was insulting to the lads involved, the other team officials and myself, and to the county.

"Give some chance to the youngsters or we can actually forget about football altogether."
