‘Tyrell’s Pass’ sealed up

ONE of the big questions coming into yesterday’s All-Ireland final, one of the potentially pivotal questions, was: how would Kilkenny deal with the on-fire Limerick full-forward line?

How would Michael Kavanagh, Noel Hickey and Jackie Tyrell deal with the five-goal All-Ireland semi-final demolition trio of Donie Ryan, Brian Begley and Andrew O’Shaughnessy?

Superbly, as it turned out.
