Kildangan snatch victory from jaws of defeat

Kildangan (Tipperary) 2-13 Carrickshock (Kilkenny) 1-13

What drama, what courage, what a way for an All-Ireland title to be won (not lost), but most of all, what a fantastic advert for the game of hurling.

A minute into injury-time and a goal down, Kildangan's hero, centre-back Dan Hackett, had been flung forward to attack in a last desperate measure. He was then stretchered off with an ankle break and it all looked over for the Tipperary champions.
