"We could be crying into our pints too, but hopefully now we have a chance to give ourselves, our families, the parish and everyone in Ballyhale a great Christmas. Hopefully we can give a Christmas gift to the parish by winning this match and lifting the spirits for an unreal Christmas."Mount Leinster Rangers pushed them all the way, as did St Rynagh's and he expects Clough/Ballacolla to do the same. But these boys will be ready because they know how sweet is is to win. "They're not going to be afraid of us and we won't be afraid of them. We'll go out all guns blazing and we'd assume they will as well. https://twitter.com/GAA__JOE/status/1146865267701628928 In college, Cody is studying Sports and Business management and as a keen sportsman, he's loving every second and every in-and-out of it. "Sports and Business management, I'm in the second year of that. It's a mixture of sports modules and the business side of it as well with economics, accounting, and marketing. It's a brilliant course, I actually love it. It's very interesting, especially being a sporty person, and I love the business side of it as well. To have the two of them is the perfect combination, I love it." His career is only in its early stages but having picked up his second Young Hurler of the Year award last Saturday, he's moving quickly. And he's enjoying every step of the journey. "Eoin Kelly did it before. And Eoin Kelly wasn't a bad auld hurler. Hopefully I can keep it going and have half as good a career as that man. It was disappointing not to get to an All-Ireland Final the last two years but when you look back on the years it'll be nice to have those awards." The individual awards are coming and he thinks that, in Kilkenny, they're not too far off the real holy grail. "I don't think this Kilkenny team is any better or worse than anyone else. I just think it all comes down to the day and whichever team works harder and gets the scores will win it. It's as simple as that. I don't think there are any gimmes in inter-county hurling at all, I think it's all on the day. "That's the beauty of it. There's no game going into it that you think you're definitely going to win, especially with the Round Robin, there's going to be some crazy matches this year and I can't wait to be involved, it's going to be unreal."
