‘We’ll remind TJ he needs to do it again in championship’

Nobody can say Eoin Murphy isn’t serious about his hurling but if there’s a chance to have a dig at TJ Reid, he’s not going to pass it by.

His Kilkenny team-mate has been earning all sorts of plaudits of late but Murphy likes to take him down a peg or two. Like when he’s being mentioned in the same breath as club colleague Henry Shefflin.

Henry was there for 13, 14 years and did it at such a consistent level. TJ has done it through the league... we’ll remind him that he needs to do it again for championship.
