Comerford’s tribute to young guns and selectors as game plan works out

A day to remember for O’Loughlin Gaels captain Martin Comerford in Nowlan Park yesterday, his third county medal, and relief that finally, they are back on top of the heap in Kilkenny.

“The feckin’ pressure we’ve been under for the last two weeks, I don’t think I can take any more of it – living close to the co-manager, he’s on the phone every second minute!”

The ‘co-manager’ of course is Martin’s older brother Andy, former Kilkenny All-Ireland-winning captain but now in tracksuit and bib, giving the orders on the sideline and in training.
