Kilkenny senior hurling champions Dicksboro have nominated Cillian Buckley to captain the Cats for 2018.

Meanwhile, the Irish Independent is reporting that Shane Prendergast has joined Kieran Joyce in retirement while Jonjo Farrell has opted out of Brian Cody's squad.

Colin Fennelly and Paul Murphy will both miss the league campaign as they are currently away with the Defence Forces on a tour of duty but better news for Kilkenny supporters is that injury-plagued Michael Fennelly has signalled his intention to carry on for another year.
