There were suggestions in some quarters last night that Lyng, who managed Kilkenny to victory in the All-Ireland under 20 championship this year, is seen as the front-runner and the man most likely to be nominated as Cody’s successor with Phelan taking over the under-20 side.
Lyng makes the most sense, heavily involved with this team prior to this year and then managing their U20's to an AI so knows the new blood able to come into the panel.
anyone pick up on a bit of sideline disagreements with Cody during the AI final? Not sure who the other lad was, don't think it was McGarry, but was animated with Cody in the second half..

Aye it was Gorta, he was running up and down the line like a madman then up to Cody every so often.
Cody would poke him in the chest as if to say 'I'm in charge here'
