Kilkenny captain Colin Fennelly is among five more players of the 2020 panel who won’t be among this year’s Cats panel.

Thomas Kenny, Enda Morrissey, Luke Scanlon and Bill Sheehan won’t be part of Brian Cody’s plans for 2021, while it is understood Fennelly has informed the manager he is sitting out the forthcoming season.
