Kilkenny full-back Huw Lawlor wants to see his side get their League campaign off to a winning start against Dublin this weekend after shaking off their disappointing loss in last year’s All-Ireland final.
Lawlor was part of Brian Cody’s side that suffered a brutal 3-25 to 0-20 defeat to Tipperary last September.
The UCD student said: “It’s a big year. Getting to the final last year was great but we were disappointed how it finished.
“But that’s parked now and we’ll try and go at it again. It’s a new year with a new fresh set up in there so we’ll give the competition a good go.
“It’s a mixture of wanting to win the games and wanting to give everyone a chance to play.”
