Torture ended by Richie's Power play

He didn’t see the full seventy minutes, but it’s hard to believe he saw any game time at all when you consider his season.

Richie Power came on for Kilkenny with the game in the melting-pot yesterday, the Carrickshock attacker slotting into the full-forward line as usual. Given how little he’s played, it was nothing short of a miracle.

“I only got back training two weeks ago, it’s been a frustrating year,” said Power with some understatement.
