Colin Fennelly fears for brother as injuries take their toll

Kilkenny’s Colin Fennelly has aired concerns about the injury woes older brother Michael has faced in recent years.

Michael, the 2011 hurler of the year, suffered serious ankle injuries in 2012 and 2013 before a knee injury last year followed by back problems that ruled him out of three games during the summer.

Speaking at yesterday’s AIB All-Ireland Club final press conference, Colin said his sibling has had it difficult as Ballyhale Shamrocks prepare for the March 17 date with Kilmallock in Croke Park.
