Kilkenny play Cork in their final home match in the Allianz Hurling League on Sunday, with a large crowd expected in UPMC Nowlan Park. 

"Personally, I don't watch The Sunday Game or anything like that, but I am on social media, and I see these things, but it's outside noise, you don't really dwell on it to be honest," Kenny told the Kilkenny People Sport Podcast.

"For me personally, I have no problem staying away from it."
