Nourished by rivals’ milk on the field of dreams

THE Cats will bid for the county’s third All-Ireland senior hurling title in a row on Sunday, nourished by milk from the family farms of two Cork players.

Dashing Timmy McCarthy and reliable Brian Murphy come from farm families who supply milk to Glanbia, the Kilkenny team sponsors, in the food group’s Castlelyons area.

But they are planning on delivering more than just milk to The Cats in the most eagerly awaited final for many years. Their aim, and that of their fellow Rebels, is to stop the black and amber from achieving their cherished three-in-a-row.
