‘You sacrifice an awful lot’ — Kilkenny's TJ Reid sets out his position for 2026
Listen to the full interview on the Kilkenny People Sport Podcast
Kilkenny captain TJ Reid has admitted he was 'p****d off after last year's All-Ireland semi-final loss to Tipperary but believes the Noresiders will be there or thereabouts in 2026.
"The last three it's been fine margins. Every team we've played in the last three years has gone on and won the All-Ireland so we're preparing teams well for the All-Ireland," TJ joked.
"Last year, I'm playing a long time now and that's the first time I've witnessed something like that so please god it doesn't happen again.
"You sacrifice an awful lot so you deserve to be p****d off over what happened but it happened and we moved on and Tipp won the All-Ireland Final," he continued, adding, "even this year if we can improve by 5% this year that's all we have to do. Find an extra percent."
