TJ Reid set to captain the Cats

Young forward TJ Reid will have his appointment as Kilkenny's new captain ratified next week, following his nomination by county and provincial champions Ballyhale Shamrocks.

With Ballyhale having the honour of nominating the Cats' 2010 captain, the 22-year-old TJ got the nod over his brother Eoin. His appointment will be officially confirmed at a County Board meeting in the coming days.
