Eoin Cody hopes injury-free run will see him return to his best

"I am probably not too happy with where I am yet. Three weeks of full, hard training before the next game, I’ll be able to push myself and hopefully get to the levels I need to be for the team.

Eoin Cody admits he’s not meeting the high standards he sets himself but hopes an injury-free run will see him hit his straps in Kilkenny’s July 6 All-Ireland SHC semi-final.

Nominated for the hurler of the year award last season, Cody scored 1-1 in Saturday’s Leinster SHC final having produced 1-3 in their group meeting three weeks previous before but in between those games managed just a point against Wexford.
