Ballyhale determined to make most of second chance

IT WAS a day of biblical storms and tempests, but you don’t have to take our word for it.

TJ Reid of Ballyhale Shamrocks was one of the unfortunate players left half-drowned by the rain in Nowlan Park last Sunday, when their Kilkenny SHC final clash with James Stephens ended all square. The going underfoot was marshy and even the pictures you saw on TG4 were fogged by raindrops.

Reid is in no doubt about how bad it was, and he has plenty of evidence to back up his opinion.
