Hogan ruled out of action

Talented Kilkenny hurler Richie Hogan has been ruled out of action for up to a fortnight after tearing his hamstring during a training session with the Cats under-21s last Sunday.

Hogan was hugely impressive as he bagged 1-10 for the Cats in their Division 1 National Hurling league triumph over Tipperary earlier this month, but watched on from the sidelines on Wednesday night as Kilkenny under 21's claimed an 11-point win over Laois in the Leinster Championship.
