News of the Kilkenny Senior manager’s retirement landed flecked with irony, given its arrival during Gaelic football’s premier week.

Quite simply, Brian Cody became part of hurling’s Mount Rushmore over a 24-year stint in one of the code’s most demanding jobs. His height and distinctive countenance granted an instantly recognisable profile. This week’s development represents not just a bracket for Noreside hurling but likewise a bracket for hurling per se. His name will arise whenever the most beautiful game is discussed.
