Dublin ‘manufactured hurlers’ tag condescending, insists Cody

Kilkenny manager Brian Cody has dismissed descriptions of Dublin as manufactured hurlers as "condescending" and "completely wrong".

Following a heavy defeat at the hands of Tipperary in last Sunday’s All-Ireland quarter-final, Dublin were described as manufactured hurlers in some quarters, but Cody rejected that description yesterday.

“I certainly would consider it that, because the same people were saying six months before that they were capable of winning the All-Ireland final, so it was a huge change in how people looked upon them,” he said.
