Kilkenny driven by climb up medal table mountain

Theirs is a private joy - Keith Duggan

I know a Sligo native who finds Kilkenny’s way with hurling success perplexing and even at times an irritation.

He lived and worked in the city, much enjoying the spell. The locals were agreeable and he married a Ballyhale woman, an out-and-out fanatic. But never has he understood the traits that seem, from outside, nigh on blasé.
