Kelly: Win while you still can

TIPPERARY CAPTAIN Eoin Kelly doesn’t feel next week’s All-Ireland final is a defining clash between his county and Kilkenny.

“I don’t think so. At the start of this year we both wanted to get to this stage again. You realise that this All-Ireland could be your last. You just don’t know.

“Kilkenny have more experience in All-Irelands, but as a player, it’s where you want to be. You don’t care if it’s four in-a-row or five in-a-row. It’s this All-Ireland you’re thinking about.
