Sir, – From a number of perspectives, I greatly enjoyed Sean Moran's article on Brian Cody ("Cody ungracious to insist on having a final say in the aftermath of latest triumph", October 1st).
Nobody could but admire Brian Cody’s achievements as manager of Kilkenny. The article, however, correctly pointed out an unsavoury aspect to the manner in which this man deals with criticism or fair questioning by the media.
The article was refreshing in that it showed that your correspondent is willing to criticise a key figure in Irish sport at the risk of future access to the manager. Many other journalists, sports and otherwise, might have shirked the task. They should take note of his courage. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Surely Phil Mickelson and Brian Cody have something in common?
One cribs when losing, the other when winning. – Yours, etc,
