Walsh boost as Rebel young guns offer glimpse into future

BEFORE I say anything about the games yesterday, I want to pay tribute to a great Kilkenny hurling man, from a great Kilkenny hurling family –Eamon Hennessey.

Walsh  boost  as Rebel  young  guns  offer  glimpse into future

Eamon was a brother of the well-known hurling legend Joe and he was steeped in Kilkenny, head of the supporters’ club for many years and did a huge amount for the modern Kilkenny team over the last decade and more. He died last week after a short illness, my sympathy to his family — there’s a corner of Langton’s that will never be the same.

To the games, and as I predicted on Saturday Galway beat Dublin and Kilkenny beat Waterford, which throws this division wide open again. I didn’t get the Cork/Tipp game right, but it ! was the game I was at, in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, and so it’s the game we’ll focus on today — on one half of it anyway.
