KILKENNY boss Brian Cody has been hit with a double blow ahead of the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship, with Cillian Buckley and James Maher set to miss the entire round-robin series. Buckley sat out this year’s league campaign and hasn’t featured for the Cats since last year’s All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to Limerick because of a […]
KILKENNY’S last-gasp victory over Tipperary on Sunday has put them back in the betting to win the hurling league. Limerick remain 13/8 favourites to top Division One but their defeat by Cork has encouraged punters to put their money on Brian Cody’s team. They have jumped from 14/1 to 7/1. Eoin Murphy’s stunning injury-time free […]
EOIN Murphy struck a beautiful late, late injury time winner as Kilkenny edged out Tipperary by a single point in today’s National Hurling League clash at Semple Stadium. Noel McGrath had the Premier County ahead by one as the game entered into additional time before Richie Hogan levelled it again for the visitors. And Brian […]
LIMERICK hurling legend Eamonn ‘Ned Rea’ has warned it is foolish for anyone to write off Brian Cody’s Kilkenny team just yet. And despite the Treaty’s nine-point mauling of the Cats last weekend, the All-Ireland winner and well-known publican said he would not like to meet Kilkenny at the business end of the season in […]
LIMERICK are not in the top three teams in the country and won’t win the All-Ireland this year, Kilkenny legend Jackie Tyrell has predicted. The nine-time All-Ireland winner also said Brian Cody’s current crop of players are also not among the elite just yet. Tyrell was speaking ahead of tomorrow’s much-anticipated Allianz HL Division 1A […]
BRIAN CODY has no intention of retiring anytime soon from a “job” he doesn’t even consider to be a job! Cody has already delivered a record 11 All-Ireland titles for his county. He turns 65 in July and retired from teaching back in 2015. But it appears he has no intention to handing over the […]
Clare 2-20 Kilkenny 1-22 KILKENNY netted with the final act of the game – but the last gasp score was too little, too late for the Cats against a competitive Clare side in the second round of the Allianz National Hurling League. After making a bright start to the campaign against Cork last week, Brian […]
CLARE will be without star player Tony Kelly for the National League clash against Brian Cody’s Cats in Ennis on Sunday. The 2013 Hurler of the Year has received a one-match ban after he was sent off early in the second half in Clare’s defeat against Tipperary last Saturday. The decision was subsequently criticised by […]
IN a statement that will stoke the embers in the bellies of Kilkenny hurling supporters, Brian Cody clearly has no intention of sitting back and enjoying his 11 All-Ireland medals anytime soon. The most decorated manager in the history of hurling gave a stirring performance of his own in front an audience of thousands at […]
FORMER Kilkenny star and nine-time All-Ireland winner Tommy Walsh says he believes Henry Shefflin will manage the Cats one day. But the Tullaroan legend says he isn’t sure if ‘King Henry’ will be the man to take Brian Cody’s managerial crown. Shefflin has been a revelation in his first season as coach of his home […]
