Cody denies being ruthless

ESSENTIALLY, yesterday’s press briefing at Allianz House in Dublin was all about hearing the views of Kilkenny’s Brian Cody and Tipperary selector Liam Sheedy on next Monday’s NHL final in Croke Park.

But it provided so much more as Cody provided insight into the mind set of the League and All-Ireland champions after team captain Charlie Carter had failed to gain selection for the recent games against Tipperary and Cork.

Cody might not have expected the question, but typically, was non-plussed, and indeed was later complimented by MC Jimmy Magee for 'hurling that one well!'
