Posted by Kilkenny missed out on the All-Ireland final this year, but the Cats will have a presence on the pitch nonetheless at the Munster Old Firm derby of Cork and Tipperary on Sunday week.
A traditional part of All-Ireland final day is the presentation of the winners from 25 years ago to the crowd in Croke Park.
This year, that jubilee team will be the All-Ireland-winning Cats from 2000.
No doubt the Tipp and Cork fans on Hill 16 will give them a warm reception, but it also presents a diplomatic dilemma for the GAA.
Kilkenny’s man of the match 25 years ago, DJ Carey, is now back in the spotlight for altogether different reasons.
