Galway’s young guns glow

Galway 0-16 Kilkenny 1-12

Those were the sage words of an old-timer as he left O’Connell Park in Tullamore yesterday after witnessing an enthralling All-Ireland MHC final replay.

The throw-in was delayed for 15 minutes due to crowd congestion but the teams again produced another epic encounter before Galway held off a late Kilkenny rally to take the Irish Press Cup for the first time in four years.
