Kenny: Playing both codes still feasible

Ten years ago Tom Kenny was facing a choice.

He was on the periphery of the Cork senior hurling and football squads but felt a breakthrough was closer with the footballers. At a hurling session in Fermoy he decided to tell Donal O’Grady and his selectors he’d be playing football that weekend.

“Before I could tell them John [Allen] said, ‘you’ll be starting this weekend against Tipperary in Thurles’. It was a nice feeling on the way home from Fermoy that night.”
