Kilkenny manager Brian Cody wished Waterford well after this evening’s loss to the Deise men at Croke Park.

The 2-27 to 2-23 defeat marked only Cody’s third loss as Cats boss in 20 All-Ireland SHC semi-final appearances and pointed out afterwards that it does not compare in the greater scheme of things going on in the world at present.

“What is happening around the country and around the world is on a different level completely to everything else,” the James Stephens clubman told Off The Ball.

“We played, and the GAA worked within the rules of what could happen, and that was very important.

“When it comes to match day, everything else goes out the window and the match takes over everything.

“We are going home disappointed, and that’s the way losers always go home; Waterford go home very happy, with something terrific to look forward to and we wish them well.”
