Kilkenny legend DJ Carey was ‘savagely proud’ of his IT Carlow team after the reigning League champions drew with the reigning Fitzgibbon champions Mary I before a big crowd last night in Carlow. 

In the third Irish Examiner GAA podcast, we remember Michael ‘Ducksie’ Walsh, reflect on Waterford’s draw with Kilkenny and victories for Mayo and Dublin.

“If this new rule was in when I was playing, I would not have played minor for Kilkenny. It took me that extra year to 18 to get me physically bigger than what i was.”

Nine-time All-Star winner DJ Carey says he thinks a culture of “play-acting” is creeping into hurling and that GAA officials have destroyed the art of penalty taking.
