Cody cool after ‘great win’

IT seemed another comfortable day at the office for his charges, but as usual, Brian Cody wasn’t having any of that old talk.

To be fair, in a hurling context, seven points is nothing but Kilkenny were in such command in the second half it never looked like their bid for a record-equalling sixth Leinster title in a row would be derailed.

“It wasn’t that apparent to me,” he said afterwards. “I’d say we got a decent start, we got a goal early on but they got a goal back, and I’d say for the last 10, possibly 15 minutes of the half, they dominated and came at us really strongly.
