Brian Cody is refusing to make an issue of Kilkenny's injury problems going into Sunday's Leinster SHC final against Wexford. Rising midfield star Michael Fennelly is the latest Kilkenny player to be struck down by injury, having suffered a broken wrist in a club match the weekend before last. "It's serious enough, but it's not about being frustrated," the Kilkenny manager said. "All the time we talk about having a panel of players and it's sport and injuries are part and parcel of sport. Sometimes lads are lucky and escape injuries and others get a tough run, but it's all about getting on with it." The Cats are overwhelming favourites to retain their provincial crown, but Cody insists that they will be taking nothing for granted against John Meyler's men. "There are probably eight or nine top hurling counties and Kilkenny and Wexford are two of those," he said. "On any given day, any of those counties can beat another." Tweet
