Premier Cats

Kilkenny have named nine of their All-Ireland team for Sunday’s hurling challenge against Tipperary at Nowlan Park.

The game is being organised by the Tullaroan club to raise funds for a player who lost an eye in an accidental clash during a club match last year.

John Coogan (aged 24) has not worked since and the club started a benefit fund which has been generously supported so far.
