Last Sunday was a fantastic day for Galway hurling.Winning a hurling All-Ireland final, senior, u-21, or minor is a wonderful thing for a county, but beating Kilkenny in the final at Croke Park makes it a little sweeter.

All-Ireland final day is one of the best days of the year.

All-Ireland final day is one of the best days of the year. Well, it should be anyway. Three or four of us either go up Saturday for the Kilmacud Sevens or belt up early on Sunday morning. Last weekend due to family commitments we opted for the Sunday gig and were in Jurys opposite Croke Park well before noon. One of the men we travel with has a terrible fear of being late for games. Especially All-Irelands. He got left behind as a youngster after he missed a plane, and despite huge amounts of counselling, he has never got over it. So there we were. In good form and in good time, all set up for what should have been a most memorable day.

Never an easy place to travel to and get a result but that is just what Kilkenny did last Sunday in the Leinster League. They got their first win of the League in a hard fought game with both sides committed and showing plenty of respect for each other.

This was a game Kilkenny would have been expected to win but somebody forgot to hand the visiting team the script. In the end Kilkenny deserved the victory but they can count themselves lucky to get the points. Wicklow were full value for money and could have with more effort snatched the game from Kilkenny.

Having had almost four weeks break due to match cancellations, Kilkenny under-15s were back in action on Saturday in the South East League tie away to Tullow RFC. With this resounding victory, Kilkenny now top their section with only one game left (Arklow - November 14) to play having beaten all contenders to date.
