Brian Cody hails role of medical team

Brian Cody hailed the work of the Kilkenny medical team after patching together key players throughout the season.

Following injuries to Michael and Colin Fennelly, Richie Hogan, Richie Power, Eoin Larkin and Jackie Tyrrell this year, Cody took the opportunity to acknowledge the work of team doctor Tadhg Crowley and physiotherapists Kevin Curran, John Kearns, Alison Holmes along with sports rehabilitator Neal Byrne.

He was just as fulsome in his praise for the steadfastness of the players to overcome their difficulties to play a variety of roles, in both playing and non-playing capacities, yesterday.
