Kilkenny captain Colin Fennelly admits he is fearing the chop for this Saturday’s All-Ireland semi-final having been taken off against Galway in last Saturday week’s Leinster final.

Along with another established star Walter Walsh, the Shamrocks man was held scoreless before being taken off midway through the second half.
