New dawn for an old rivalry

I was talking to a Kilkenny hurler of the 1960s and 70s lately (And before you ask, no, it wasn’t Eddie Keher).

Part of the conversation touched on the various rivalries he’d been a small part of during his time.

Kilkenny and Tipperary: famously bad during the 60s, although in later years, when the players grew up and realised the world was a bigger place than they’d imagined, they managed to kiss and make up and look back on all the nastiness with a laugh and agree that yes, hadn’t they been fierce childish and immature altogether?
