Martin Comerford to captain Cats

Martin Comerford and not older brother, Andy, has been handed the captaincy of the Kilkenny team for the upcoming year.

Martin only broke into the first team in 2002 but has made a big impression and beats his brother Andy, who led the Cats to All-Ireland glory that year.

Meanwhile, Andy has been added to the Kilkenny squad for the upcoming league campaign, though there's no place for corner-forward Brian Dowling.
