Brian Cody has been reappointed as manager of the Kilkenny hurling team, following a meeting of Kilkenny County Board on Monday evening this week.

It is straight back into action for newly-crowned county champions James Stephens as they face Wexford’s Oulart-the Ballagh in Nowlan Park this Sunday.

The famed James Stephen’s club are no strangers when it comes to winning Kilkenny county titles but you still got the sense that last Sunday’s well-deserved victory over Ballyhale Shamrocks was extra special.

The immediate reaction from the Ballyhale Shamrocks’ backroom team was that they had got out of jail, after last Sunday’s county final.

Last Sunday’s county final, which ended all square, was certainly action-packed and full of incidents.

The intercounty action may be over for another year but there is still plenty of activity going on around the country.

Sunday’s Senior hurling county final has a familiar look about it, with either James Stephens or Ballyhale Shamrocks appearing in every final for the last seven years, except 2010.

It is strange days indeed when the championship draw is confirmed before the league format is sorted out.

October is traditionally the month for county finals around the country. Generally counties that have been knocked out at quarter final stages will have their championships run off early in the month, while counties like our own who have progressed that bit further in the championship tend to have their big day in late October.
