Kilkenny have sights set on clinching third consecutive All-Ireland title

Cody’s side who have won back-to-back League and championship crowns in the past two seasons are aiming to become the first team since Cork in the late seventies to complete a treble in the All-Ireland series.

“Talk of the three-in-a-row is not something we will be getting caught up in obviously. But at the same time it would be ridiculous to say that it’s not a huge incentive. It is,” said Cody, in Las Vegas, where the 2002 and 2003 Vodafone GAA Allstars spent the last two nights of their American tour.
