Ballyhale Shamrocks’ Colin Fennelly claims Ballygunner co-captain Barry Coughlan disrespected the Kilkenny men in his All-Ireland Club SHC final winning speech last February.

As the clubs lock horns again in Sunday week’s eagerly-awaited semi-final, former Cats star Fennelly has ratcheted up the heat by revealing he took offence at the oration of his direct marker.
