Ger Aylward's presence adds considerably to Kilkenny's arsenal

He was wearing the No 13 jersey on his back last Sunday, and only registered 0-1, but the positioning of Ger Aylward at centre-forward for Kilkenny against Cork was extremely eye-catching, writes Peter McNamara.

The GAA interest was put on the back-burner last weekend, admittedly, as a trip to Cheltenham for Festival Trials Day was taken in, however, when looking through the line-ups for the Cats-Rebels clash, Aylward’s berth caught our attention with a view to the future.
