'To lead out your county is an honour' - Kilkenny captain reflects on season
It wasn't to be for the Kilkenny senior hurlers or camogie teams in the All-Ireland Champiosnhips this year
Kilkenny captain Katie Power has described leading the team as an 'honour' following the county's exit of the Glen Dimplex All-Ireland Senior Camogie Championship at the hands of Tipperary last weekend.
While Tipp won out by six points in the end, they were given a huge helping hand by a game defining decision that ultimately turned the game in their favour after a Caoimhe Keher Murtagh goal at the start of extra-time was brought back for an earlier foul on the Rower-Inistioge star and the intervening penalty by Aoife Prendergast was saved by Laura Leehane.
The lack of an advantage by an extra few seconds from referee Ray Kelly proved hugely costly as it would have put the Cats five points to the good at that stage as The Premier County recorded a five point win after extra-time. - MATCH SUMMARY HERE
Power was an impressive performer on the day, a statement that has been said many a time over her 17 year senior inter-county career.
"Season 18," she posted to Instagram.
"To get to lead out your county is an honour but to lead out the black and amber heightens that sense of privilege," she added.
