That he has overseen a hat-trick of Leinster titles is remarkable enough in itself but especially so when it has come against a backdrop of critical analysis of whether his Kilkenny team were almost too wedded to traditional values. A Saturday when the hurling news from Kilkenny would have washed up on the shoreline of Galway, like a message in a bottle. It's easy to argue that he has more than earned the right to do things his way, that a peerless track record speaks for himself.
