There are early signs new Kilkenny manager Derek Lyng will put his own stamp on the county's style, says former Cats captain Brian Hogan.

Speaking on the Irish Examiner GAA Podcast, Hogan said it was obvious Lyng would bring some freshness to the setup since Brian Cody had been in the job for two decades. But he feels Lyng is trying to evolve what Cody had been doing in his last seasons in charge.
