After Kilkenny steam-rolled to an historic three-in-a-row with a demolition of Waterford yesterday, mastermind of the display, Brian Cody, spoke to Brendan Larkin.

BRIAN CODY, now regarded as the greatest hurling coach of all time, was at pains to play down his role in Kilkenny’s magnificent run of victories.

“Obviously it’s a super feeling to have won another All-Ireland title and the fact that it’s three on the trot only adds it,” said Cody.
