Dan: Tipp exposed Kilkenny chink
It’s a tall order after their previous Saturday night showdown, against Tipperary seven days ago in Nowlan Park. Derek Lyng soldiered with the Cats on enough big days to know what last weekend cost his former teammates.
“When you get over a big win like last Saturday’s it can seem as if you haven’t been out several weeks in-a- row. Just look at Dublin last Sunday at the final whistle – they didn’t seem drained by all those games, five in five weeks. The benefit of last Saturday evening is that they’ll be a lot more confident going out tonight. A good win like that can ignite your whole season – you’re stuttering along, maybe, but then a good win restores the confidence and the momentum.”
