As soon as I finished up my RTÉ co-commentary on the Galway-Waterford game in Pearse Stadium on Sunday afternoon, I bolted for the Salthill hotel to watch Cork-Kilkenny. 

It’s always hard to tell when you’re not at a game but if you were making a judgement from anytime the TV cameras flashed to the stand or the crowd, you’d have thought that the match was on in Páirc Uí Chaoimh and not Nowlan Park.
