Science of silence

A little insight into how Kilkenny deal with media requests.

Via a phone call or email, one places a request with selector Martin Fogarty. By now, it goes without saying younger players are off limits so you put forward a name or two of the more senior members of the squad.

He will contact the players and text the journalist back, whether they are available or not. More often than not, they will be and their mobile numbers will be supplied.
