Will to win decided it, says Cody
He predicts that it will come down to a test of mental strength. “We have a massive battle on our hands,” he said yesterday. Interestingly, in view of the massive contribution of DJ Carey to the win over Tipperary, Cody conceded that his star forward might never have made it back without the benefit of club activity. Additionally, he pointed out that Jimmy Coogan’s exposure with Tullaroan in recent games had also helped raise his public profile.
Cody was responding to a question about how he had managed to avoid the difficulties that confronted Waterford after their six-weeks’ lay-off - and which Kilkenny themselves encountered last year prior to playing Galway, and he acknowledged that club activity had facilitated Carey’s return.
