Fighting words that turned the tide of battle

A Jackie Tyrrell half-time speech has been heralded as the catalyst behind Kilkenny’s All-Ireland winning second half.

Brian Cody’s side outscored Galway by seven points in the second half although it would have been 10 but for a consolation Joe Canning goal in injury-time.

Colin Fennelly and Cody paid tribute to the motivating words uttered by Tyrrell during the break.
