Mullally ruled out of Leinster SHC final

ALL-IRELAND champions Kilkenny will be without defender Richie Mullally for the Guinness Leinster SHC final against Wexford on July 6.

Right half back Mullally suffered a broken ankle on Sunday night in a club game with Glenmore against O’Loughlins and manager Brian Cody confirmed that the player will definitely miss the provincial final.

Members of the panel will again be involved in championship games next weekend, with Cody conceding that in such circumstances there is an inherent risk of players picking up injuries.
