Tomorrow’s Kilkenny SHC final will be a strange occasion for the Hogan brothers...
‘It’s Clara v O’Loughlins, not the Keith and Brian Show'

First of all there was Brian. Nothing remarkable about him as an underage hurler. The first remarkable thing about him as an adult hurler was that after getting his first championship start with Kilkenny it took him three years to get his second championship start. Then it all changed. The rest you know. MacCarthy Cups, All Stars, All Ireland-winning captain in 2011. One of Cody’s gallowglasses. One of the big wheels on the stripey juggernaut.

Next there was Barry. Although Barry doesn’t come into this story much he’s hurled away happily with O’Loughlins for years at various levels and last season he won a county junior B medal with them. Winning a county junior B medal can be like winning an All-Ireland too.
