'F it anyway' - Kilkenny's TJ Reid shares emotional post after 'great journey'
Kilkenny players are still coming to terms with their All-Ireland semi-final loss to Tipperary
Seven-time All-Ireland winner with Kilkenny, TJ Reid has shared an emotional post with followers on social media, a week after the county bowed out of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship at the hands of near neighbours Tipperary at the semi-final hurdle.
"F it anyway Harper. A week on and it still hurts. Grateful for another year wearing the black and amber jersey," Reid posted to Instagram.
"Completing six Leinster titles in a row is still a wonderful achievement but it would have been brilliant to get back into an All Ireland Final and to compete in it. Thanks to my best supporters Niamh De Brún and my little daughter Harper and to all the Kilkenny supporters," he continued.
"I wish I knew that this too shall pass. You feel bad right now? You feel pissed off? You feel anxious? This too shall pass. Oh you feel great? You feel like you know all the answers? You feel like everybody finally gets you? This too shall pass. Time is your ally, and if nothing else, just wait. Just wait it out - Tom Hanks.
"Up Kilkenny," he concluded.
