Famous family name was never a burden, says Colin Fennelly

Kilkenny forward Colin Fennelly insists he never felt any added pressure coming from the one of the most famous families in hurling.

All seven Fennelly brothers, including Colin’s father Michael, played for the county, with Liam, Ger, and Kevin winning three All-Irelands apiece, while all seven played in Ballyhale Shamrocks’ three All-Ireland club final wins.

Colin and brother Michael Jr have since won 12 county and six club All-Ireland medals between and Colin says the family name never came as a burden.
