Final blow for Kilkenny as freak injury rules Hogan out

KILKENNY centre-back Brian Hogan will miss the All-Ireland final after suffering a hand injury.

Hogan suffered the freak injury after getting his hand caught in an opponent’s jersey.

Compounding matters for Kilkenny, Hogan’s obvious replacement, John Tennyson, is also doubtful, still trying to recover from a cruciate injury.
