Huw Lawlor has hailed the longevity of TJ Reid as the 37-year-old claimed his 14th Leinster SHC medal on Sunday.

The seven-time All-Ireland winner and seven-time All Star was only second to Lawlor as Kilkenny’s best player in the victory over Galway and the defender was generous in his praise for the elder stateman of the team.
