These Kilkenny legends are certainly Up for the Match

Here’s the opening sequence of tonight’s All-Ireland hurling final preview on RTÉ.

BET YOU NEVER thought you’d see these old cats back in the black and amber once more, but here they are taking on the ‘young bucks’ of the county.

RTÉ’s Up for the Match had five Kilkenny legends tog out for a puck about with some very talented, and very lucky school kids, ahead of tomorrow’s match.

The All-Ireland hurling final preview airs tonight at 9.40pm on RTÉ One, and here’s a quick taster. No doubt Kilkenny fans should have no concerns that the conveyor belt is still in order.
