The comprehensiveness of Thomastown’s victory over O’Loughlin Gaels on Sunday surprised Farrell and his team-mates.

Thomastown’s second ever Kilkenny senior hurling title was coming, Jonjo Farrell knew. The only question was would he fill a playing part in it.

A winner of two All-Irelands with Kilkenny in the mid-2010s, just after Thomastown were plying their trade at junior level, Farrell turned 36 last month. As he says himself, he brings the average age of the team “up a good bit”.
