Kilkenny senior hurling manager, Derek Lyng has told the Kilkenny People Sport Podcast that the door is open throughout the season for players to enter the senior county fold if they impress at club, college or at U20 level.
“This time of year is difficult as you never like telling a lad that he’s not involved, but the commitment from everyone has been excellent,” he said. “We are always operating on an open panel and it’s never a closed shop.
“We will have lads come in over the next few months that might not be with us now and we are keeping an eye on if we need something different and that’s how the dynamic works. We also have Fitzgibbon Cup coming up and one or two lads might do well in that while our under-20 squad could do something similar and it is a very competitive environment.
“I would never write anybody off either as we have an open mind and lads develop later than others and we just have to be conscious of that. We can only judge on what we see in front of us.”
