Lawlor pinpoints where Kilkenny may need to improve for All-Ireland Semi-Final
Listen to the full interview on the Kilkenny People Sport Podcast
Kilkenny full-back Huw Lawlor has admitted the Cats may need to manage games 'a little bit better' with an All-Ireland semi-final and potential final afoot.
Derek Lyng's side will now face Tipperary in an All-Ireland semi-final on Sunday, July 6 from 4pm.
Speaking after the Leinster Final win, Lawlor said: "Galway were going to have a purple patch at some stage and we were trying to limit that but I thought the boys worked hard throughout," he said.
"It’s something that’s happened to us before, we probably need to manage the game a little bit better but look we got the scores and the few interceptions we needed to get over the line."
"Four weeks now to try and get the bodies right and get loads of training in. It’s been a very busy seven/eight weeks so it’s a good chance and to try different lads."
Lawlor, who made his Kilkenny debut in 2019 now has six medals in the back pocket - with a sniff of an All-Ireland in the air, he’s loving the game as much as ever.
"It’s great to get another Leinster medal," Lawlor said after the match.
"Obviously, there was times we were under pressure but the forwards worked very hard as well and limited the ball that was coming in which is very good."
