Wedding bells signal time out for Lyng

WHEN Kilkenny step onto the Semple Stadium pitch this afternoon, one very familiar face will be missing.

Last year’s All-Ireland decider was the county’s first since 2001 but it ended familiarly for Lyng, with another loss.

So she would have loved to have been in Thurles today but having married Liam Galvin yesterday, will be contenting herself with text messages, radio commentary and any other snippets of information she can glean.
