Walsh: Kilkenny's most important game in a long while

After wins over Dublin and Carlow, Kilkenny legend Tommy Walsh believes that his county has reached the “turning point of our season” with Sunday’s Leinster SHC clash with Galway. The nine-time All-Ireland winner is optimistic that the Cats can deliver a big display at Nowlan Park to secure the win that takes them through to the provincial final.

He acknowledged, though, that should Galway win after a workmanlike start to their campaign then “it could kickstart their year” too. The tie is a repeat of the 2012 and 2015 All-Ireland finals, while the counties have also met in three of the last four Leinster finals.
