What a game!! What an unbelievably heart racing, nail biting, tear jerking, ‘oh my god I need to sit down’ type of game!  I think my blood pressure must be through the roof after it but my goodness it was so worth it.  Kilkenny fans should be very proud of themselves, the 4 in a row is an amazing achievement.   Congratulations!

But I must admit, I’m so proud of Tipperary for the epic battle  the team brought to yesterdays final.  The passion and the drive was back in the heart of all the players and pace was fantastic.  One of the best games of hurling I’ve seen in a long time.  Roll on next season!!
