Kilkenny captain Richie Reid says that he and his teammates are nonplussed by the circus surrounding Brian Cody and Henry Shefflin.
Reid won two All-Ireland club titles under Shefflin’s stewardship with Ballyhale Shamrocks, while he has been promoted to a more prominent role in the county team in recent times by Cody, leaving him uniquely placed to comment on the debacle with the pair having shared frosty handshakes in recent Kilkenny-Galway encounters.
“Two men that want to win, really,” said Reid. “As managers, they're obviously expected to win and it was always going to be controversial if there was anything on the line, it was always going to be blown up. They're two men to be respected.”
