Kilkenny yearning just never wanes
If you could put a saddle on them they’d win the Gold Cup of a Wednesday, the Grand National on Saturday, and I’d say they’d go on to win the Aga Khan on the Sunday — if Brian Cody was the man in the saddle. What a team.
Cody has often been quoted as saying that these lads just love hurling — that was there in abundance in Nowlan Park again yesterday. They have everything — touch, pace, athleticism, but they also play a very manly game. You could see they were enjoying themselves, you could see the hunger in them, from Noel Hickey — at corner-back! — up to Matt Ruth at corner-forward.
