DJ gets personal

Kilkenny legend DJ Carey has revealed the secret to his fitness - regular sessions with his personal trainer.

The 34-year-old Gowran attacking ace played a huge part in Monday's National Hurling League final victory over Clare, rattling a penalty to the net and setting up the Cats' other two goals.

After the match, he gave an insight into how he stays at the top of his game in an inter-county career that has spanned 17 years.

The former All Star has taken on a personal trainer for pilate sessions — stretching, breathing techniques and body conditioning — and Carey has two-hour sessions twice a week at his home.

Carey said: "The sessions are really helping me in terms of fitness and flexibility."
