'100%, we're circling the wagons' - Kilkenny aiming to get back on track with derby win

Brian Cody is expecting the Cats to stand up to a strong Wexford challenge this weekend. 

Pictured at the Eddie Keher Appreciation Evening in Hotel Kilkenny this week were Babs Keating, Eddie Keher, Brian Cody and Noel Skehan. The event was organised by Rower-Inistioge in honour of their favourite son Keher as they fundraise for a statue to be erected in his honour of their favourite son in Inistioge. Also at the event were other hurlers stars such as Tommy Walsh, Walter Walsh, Pat Hartigan and Tony Doran. Pic: Willie Dempsey

Thursday night in downtown Kilkenny and the natives are relatively quiet.

An appreciation night for Eddie Keher as his beloved club The Rower-Inistioge raise funds to erect a statue in the honour has largely been a joyous occasion. A reminder of the great man’s heroics and the towering standards on which the county has been set.
