Saturday sport: Brian Cody steps down, Cork and Waterford battle for Camogie final spot

Brian Cody has stepped down as the Kilkenny senior hurling manager after a star-studded 24 years in charge.

The 68-year-old called time on his Cats career after leading his side to another All-Ireland decider last weekend which they lost to Limerick.

Cody's time in charge will go down in history, winning 11 All-Ireland titles, 18 Leinster Championships and 10 National Hurling League titles.

In a statement, the Kilkenny County Board expressed "sincere gratitude to Brian for his life time of contribution to the county and the commitment and passion he brought as a player and as manager."

Three-time All-Ireland winner Padraic Maher has joined Liam Cahill's Tipperary hurling management team.

Maher, a six-time All-Star defender, retired on medical advice earlier this year and joins the set-up as a selector.

TJ Ryan and former Clough/Ballacolla and Loughmore-Castleiney manager Declan Laffan will be the other two selectors.

It's Sem-Finals Weekend!!
