The fallout from Sunday’s All-Ireland final is continuing today.
It wasn’t to be for Kilkenny as the 2023 season finished the same way as 2022, with an All-Ireland final defeat to Limerick.
It means Kilkenny’s wait for an All-Ireland title still stretches back to 2015.
Speaking to KCLR, Kilkenny legend JJ Delaney said that it will be difficult for any team to stop five-in-a-row chasing Limerick next year.
