DJ Carey: Brian Cody will oversee period of transition

DJ Carey believes nobody is better placed to oversee Kilkenny senior hurling’s period of transition than Brian Cody.

The 11-time All-Ireland winning manager was confirmed for a 19th season on Monday evening and his former star player Carey anticipates he may have to use the National League to blood new talent after falling short in this year’s All-Ireland final.

“Everybody would have wanted him to stay on and it was no real surprise when the news came through,” said the Young Irelands man.
