Comerford facing two-month lay-off

The sole disappointment emanating from the Kilkenny dressing room after last Sunday's GAA All-Ireland SHC victory over Waterford was the injury sustained by Martin Comerford, which may leave him on the sidelines for more than two months.

The right-half forward had to be replaced 43 minutes into the SHC final at Croke Park, and it has emerged that the cause was a fractured tibia.
