Eoin Larkin: Kilkenny are in transition, not in regression

Former Kilkenny captain Eoin Larkin said it’s natural that some pundits want to believe the county are hitting a fallow period but warned Brian Cody has other ideas.

Before the third defeat on the spin to Clare on Sunday, the likes of Offaly’s Daithí Regan saw the Cats as in “regression” and not being genuine All-Ireland contenders.

Larkin accepts Kilkenny are in transition but knows Cody’s aim won’t have lowered.
