Cats hope it’s lucky 13 as Cody appointed again

HE may be entering his 13th season, which some might regard as being unlucky, but Kilkenny County Board had absolutely no misgivings when re-appointing Brian Cody as senior hurling manager last night.

All it took to have the James Stephens man ratified for another 12 months was for chairman Paul Kinsella to put the name before the board’s monthly meeting.

There was an instant proposer and seconder and the job was completed within a minute.
