JJ: We must drive on without Cody

Sunday’s Allianz Hurling League final against Tipperary will be a strange affair for JJ Delaney and his Kilkenny team-mates.

It’s not the fact that the match takes place in their home ground, Nowlan Park — a first national final in the Marble City since 1966 — when Kilkenny hammered New York (10-15 to 2-15).

No, this is about Brian Cody, or more specifically a lack of Brian Cody.
