Eoin Larkin: It was tough going when I got home from Defence Forces duty

Eoin Larkin admits he found it difficult to catch up with his Kilkenny preparations after returning from a tour of duty with the Defence Forces.

Larkin, who was dropped for Sunday’s All-Ireland semi-final, came off the bench and sent over a point as Kilkenny fought back against Waterford.

However, the James Stephens man, 32, says he’s only now coming to terms with what is expected of him after coming back from Syria following the league.
