Kilkenny crop among the greats, declares top Cat Henderson

NINE All-Ireland final appearances with Kilkenny from 1964 to 1975, five times a winner; two National League medals, six Railway Cups, two All-Star awards, hurler-of-the-year in 1974; add in three further All-Ireland senior titles as Kilkenny manager, a lifetime of involvement in hurling at every level of the game for club and county that continues to this day, and inarguably, you have in Pat Henderson a genuine hurling authority.
Kilkenny crop among the greats, declares top Cat Henderson

“They are a very professional team, you’d have to give them 100% for that.”
