Kilkenny v Galway in Thurles this Sunday in the second of the two All-Ireland U21 hurling semi-finals (Clare v Antrim 4pm, Kilkenny vGalway 6pm) — a prelude to what might happen on September 9 in Croke Park, the big one?

It’s hard to know what was more impressive – the ruthless exhibition dished out by Galway to the students on the pitch or the marker put down by new Tribe boss Anthony Cunningham afterwards.
