Kilkenny can again deliver: claims Skehan

THE Kilkenny hurlers are more than capable of an enhanced performance in Sunday’s Guinness All-Ireland hurling final, according to legendary goalkeeper Noel Skehan.

Now part of Brian Cody's management team, Skehan accepted that people were questioning the ability of the Leinster champions to match their outstanding display in the semi-final against Tipperary. But, he had no doubts they could turn on the style a second time.

"You often hear it said that after one really good performance, there is only one way you can go, and that is down! But I don't think this is going to happen," Skehan said.
