Kilkenny Junior B players tormented as trio with 26 All-Ireland medals tog out
The Junior B Hurlers of Kilkenny were in for a shock when a trio of greats turned up to play in a recent Championship quarterfinal, with the Cats legends boasting a whopping 26 All-Ireland medals between them. Jackie Tyrrell and Eoin Larkin lined out for James Stephens while JJ Delaney was in the squad for Fenians in the JJ Kavanagh Junior B Hurling Championship Quarter-Final. Despite all three man being in the twilight of their careers and in their 40s, they are still lining out for their club to this day. Both Larkin and Tyrrell have the bragging rights this time round, with James Stephens running out 2-26 to 3-07 winners. All three have had illustrious careers with Kilkenny, but Tyrrell and Larkin won an All-Ireland title and three Kilkenny Senior Championships with their club when at the peak of their powers in the 2000s. There are very few Junior B pitches around the country that would have the amount of All-Ireland medals and All-Stars on display. Eoin Larkin won eight All-Ireland titles during his spell with the Cats, as well as two All-Stars and a Hurler of the Year Award, while JJ Delaney won nine All-Ireland and seven All-Stars to go along with his Player of the Year gong. Tyrrell also won nine All-Star awards during his time with Kilkenny and four All-Star awards. Even at the age of 43, Tyrrell is still considered mobile enough to play in the middle third. He lined out at wing back, while Eoin Larkin was at corner forward. JJ Delaney was a substitute; he made his Kilkenny debut in 2001.
