Kilkenny’s pursuit of five in a row began in a fairly nondescript fashion 10 years ago, with Dublin acting as the fall guys for yet another Leinster shellacking. The mundanity of the occasion was pierced however by a record-breaking moment which had been 11 years in the making.

In the 18th minute of the game, the imperious Henry Shefflin dissected the posts for the fourth time and in doing so, ended Eddie Keher’s 38-year reign atop the championship scoring record table.
