KILKENNY ARE THE All-Ireland champions again — and now all that’s left to do is pick the Man of the Match from today’s hurling decider.
TJ Reid cemented his Hurler of the Year claims with another outstanding display, scoring 1-7 of the Cats’ total including a goal which kept them in touch when they were under the cosh in the first half.
Michael Fennelly and Eoin Larkin scored two points apiece from play but it was their ferocious competitiveness which helped to turn a tight contest in Kilkenny’s favour.
Joe Canning (1-8) and Jason Flynn (0-4) stood out for Galway in the first half before fading while, one rushed shot aside, 18-year-old Conor Whelan marked himself out with an exceptional performance in the half-forward line.
Who was your Man of the Match?
John Hanbury had a serious game
Brian Cody
Conor whelan wasn’t MOTM today but showed great promise.. Definitely one to look out for in the future
David Burke Galway’s best hurler over the course of the 70 minutes.
Has to be Reid. 1-7, deadly on the frees and won some amount of puck outs
Man of the match: Messi
