Kenny relishing a familiar feeling

He won’t be the oldest man on the field in the Gaelic Grounds tomorrow — Limerick midfielder and captain Donal O’Grady (33), pips him to that honour — but when it comes to Munster final appearances, Cork’s Tom Kenny will be by far the most experienced.

Ten years ago, a pup of 21, Grenagh’s finest played in his first, a win over Waterford in what would become one of the great Munster rivalries.

Since then he has played in four more, winning two; this then is his sixth senior final appearance and, he says, every bit as exciting as his first.
