Eight-time All-Ireland winner with Kilkenny and highly esteemed Shamrocks clubman, Michael Fennelly believes like O'Loughlin Gaels, 'hurt' will be a factor for the Shamrocks in today's (Sunday) St Canice's Credit Union SHC Final. - FULL PREVIEW HERE
Shamrocks failed to reach the semi-finals last year after losing to eventual champions Thomastown and will be eager to scratch the itch of the county final two years ago and avenge their loss to the 'Gaels that day.
"It was great Henry (Shefflin) took it on again and has done a great job along with his management team," Fennelly told the Kilkenny People Sport Podcast.
"There's probably hurt their from last year, there was a huge amount of injuries and that was difficult in itself but thankfully that has gotten better," he added.
"I do feel the middle third, we saw last week with Danesfort's half-back line how important that was and the midfield picking up ball so I think a lot of Sunday will depend on what happens there, which half-back line is dominating and who is picking up that ball in midfield."
