Fennelly has fears but that suits Cats fine

THEY won by six points, I don’t think they wanted to win by any more than that”, said Tony Considine in these pages yesterday, summing up the Cats’ win over Waterford in Sunday’s All-Ireland senior hurling semi-final.

I don’t think any team goes out to play any game with a maximum winning margin in their heads but we all know what Tony means.

Tipperary are the most talked-about team in hurling at the moment; they are raging-hot favourites to win this Sunday’s second semi-final against Dublin and nothing will please Kilkenny manager Brian Cody more than to have themselves talked down for the final.
