ANOTHER LEINSTER SENIOR hurling title in the bag for Kilkenny after yesterday in Croke Park and the latest success saw Brian Cody reach a notable personal milestone.
The James Stephens man has now accumulated 15 provincial senior crowns as a manager, more than any other boss in the history of the GAA.
The win over Galway sees Cody move past Mick O’Dwyer who had 14 senior football titles to his credit – 11 with Kerry, two with Kildare and one with Laois.
Cody’s incredible run of success has been achieved over the course of 18 campaigns since he first took charge in 1999.
On only three occasions have Kilkenny fallen short in Leinster when Cody has been in charge:
- 2004: Wexford 2-15 Kilkenny 1-16 (semi-final)
- 2012: Galway 2-21 Kilkenny 2-11 (final)
- 2013: Dublin 1-16 Kilkenny 0-16 (semi-final replay)
Other than that Kilkenny have been the lords of Leinster under Cody’s watch.
