Cool Kilkenny find an extra gear

Kilkenny 1-23 Waterford 1-14

They play a small bit of football down in Mullinavat, but enough for Kilkenny substitute John Walsh to confidently employ the right boot when delivering the defining score of this entertaining minor semi-final.

The second period of extra-time was four minutes old when the ball broke to the Kilkenny sub on the Waterford 20-metre line. Snapping the ball into his right paw, Walsh swept past the close attention of David Prendergast and Michael Cronin; conscious of being hooked, he let fly with the right boot. Goal Kilkenny.
