Richie Reid will captain the Kilkenny hurlers this season after being nominated by his club, Ballyhale Shamrocks, for the role.

Reid takes over the Kilkenny captaincy from fellow Ballyhale clubman Adrian Mullen and also follows in the footsteps of his older brother TJ who captained the county in 2010 and 2019.
