Kilkenny hurling legends reunite again in the twilight of their careers

Former Kilkenny inter-county team-mates Eoin Larkin, Jackie Tyrrell and JJ Delaney reunited over the weekend as the trio fought it out in the quarter-finals of the JJ Kavanagh & Sons Junior B Hurling Championship.

Larkin and Tyrrell (Village) left the happier as JJ's Fenians team fell to a 2-26 to 3-7 loss in Pairc Sheamuis Stiophain. Tyrrell and Delaney retired with an eye catching nine All-Ireland medals, while Larkin finished his time in black and amber with eight Celtic Cross medals in his back pocket.
