Brian Cody says it would be “absolutely a disaster” were any Kilkenny or Limerick player to be ruled out of Sunday week’s All-Ireland final by contracting Covid.

Precautions such as outdoor, social distancing interviews were being taken at the Kilkenny pre-final press event in Langton’s Hotel as Cody and the county executive did their best to ensure the manager and two players, Paddy Deegan and Eoin Murphy, speaking at it were not exposed to the virus any more than they had to be.
