Cats skipper Kennedy enjoying pressure of another ‘All-Ireland’

“Every game is an All-Ireland” is Kilkenny captain Brian Kennedy’s mantra as he leads the county into this evening’s Bord Gais Energy Leinster U21 final against Wexford at Wexford Park (7.30pm).

Cats skipper Kennedy enjoying pressure of another ‘All-Ireland’

Having been listed on the bench for the seniors’ electric win over Tipperary last Saturday, the St Lachtains man is geared up nicely for the game. With the losers exiting the competition, he and his U21 team-mates are in the same position as Brian Cody’s side were against Tipperary and he enjoys the pressure. “If you lose you’re gone, there’s no back door system and that’s what makes it so good, the U21 championship.”

He felt privileged to just be in Nowlan Park last Saturday but his focus has always been on this clash as Kilkenny hope to retain their provincial crown.
