Former Kilkenny All-Ireland-winning captain Andy Comerford has questioned the commitment shown by the county’s senior hurlers in their heavy defeat to Galway in the Division 1A league clash in Salthill on Saturday.

Kilkenny lost to Galway by 18 points, 0-35 to 0-17, their biggest loss in a competitive fixture since the 1950s.
