Lyng won’t linger on that losing feeling

STRANGELY, Derek Lyng remembers little of his feelings after Kilkenny lost to Galway in the All-Ireland SHC semi-final three years ago.

He was a relative newcomer then and was soon immersed in the magnificent League and championship double double success.

This season he remembers very clearly what it felt like to be on the losing side recalling the Leinster semi-final loss to Wexford. “It was a terrible feeling altogether,” Lyng admits.
