No end in sight for TJ Reid's Kilkenny journey

A couple of niggles may mean this will be the fourth league in five seasons that TJ Reid misses, but he has no intention of letting up on his Kilkenny career just yet.

Recently awarded the Gaelic Writers Association hurling personality of the year for 2022, the 35-year-old has returned to field training after coming through a strength and conditioning block to alleviate some issues he played through during Ballyhale Shamrocks’ ninth All-Ireland winning season, his sixth.
