Former Kilkenny minor manager Pat Hoban
Former Kilkenny hurling manager Pat Hoban believes this Kilkenny team has what it takes to end a ten year wait for an All-Ireland title at the grade.
The 2014 All-Ireland winning manager told the Kilkenny People Sport Podcast; "The last day really proved the type of spirit and resilience that is in this (Kilkenny) group," he said.
"We have some excellent players and I think some lads have grown throughout the year," and despite the young age of players on the panel, some of which will be eligible next year, Hoban claimed he would tell the players to go out and grab the opportunity now. - LISTEN HERE OR BELOW
