How will Cody fill JJ’s boots on edge of the square?

Tony Considine looks at the questions that needanswering in the Allianz Hurling League.

1 Can Kilkenny find a full-back to replace JJ Delaney?

Replacing a legend is never an easy thing to do and in my eyes, JJ Delaney was one of the best defenders in the history of the game, if not the best. Joey Holden might get the chance to impress on the edge of the square when he returns from club duty with Ballyhale or will Brian Cody turn to Kieran Joyce? With Brian Hogan retired, Kilkenny also have a void to fill at centre back but there’s no better man than Cody to find the answers.
