KK 4-24 Tipp 3-25 AET

[Captain Obvious]

Defences on top and free taking average at best today.

Remarkably different game to three weeks ago. All the heroes, on both sides, from the first day were kept quiet. Kilkenny's defensive intensity was incredible.

RTE gave Joyce man of the match for the job he did on the Bonnar. Fully deserved. Padraig Walsh would have been equally as worthy in my opinion.

[Jeepers Creepers]

Thought Padraig Walsh was unlucky not to get MOTM today, tipp never came out for the 2nd half because Kilkenny wouldn't let them. Another exciting finish but the cats well deserved the victory. Every club in the country should be showing this game to juveniles as a master class in hooking and blocking. Imagine having 10 AI medals.......

Another great game today, Kilkenny didn't let it slip this time. They were just a few fractions sharper around the half back line this time round.

Tipp were second best for much of the exchanges and breaks in the second half. They can have no complaints really the goal near the end gave them a sliver of hope that they deserved for all their hard work but Kilkenny deserved their victory.

Best team won. Colin fennelly must have been close to mom too.

Jj delaney's hook was amazing. He has done some amount of that over the years. Absolutely superb player.

The fielding of kk defenders was exceptional too. Every one of them.

Feel for tipp. Few excellent performances but they needed bigger performances out of the likes of Corbett and paudie maher. Bunny maher and bergin were excellent.

Tipp went for the throat in the first half when simple tap over points were on. Instead of taking the easy score they ran into one of hardest hitting, tigerish defences around and the chances disappeared quickly. Tipp could have gone in at half time 5/6 points up.

KK came out and went 5-0 up. When Tipp got a lucky break in the form of the dubious penalty, when only 2 points down, there seemed to be a preordained decision to go for the point. The decision to go for the point instead of the goal will be one of things that will exercise the minds of the Tipp players, management and supporters. Had Tipp gone into a 1 point lead at that stage, who knows ?. As I said last week, small margins.

That said KK were by far the better team in the 2nd half and Cody's big calls before the game and during it, won the game for KK. Tipp's heavy hitters of the last day were well quelled and KK's defence were tighter and meaner than the last day.

Cody celebrated today like it was the first. Most expect that it's the end of the road for a few of these KK greats.

But spare a thought for a gallant Tipp team who will get over the line in the next few years.

Great year for hurling again.

Kerry win 1 Kilkenny win the other. A year that does nothing for GAA.

What a negative response. The Gaa was never stronger. Today was another fantastic add for Sport, Gaa and Hurling. When KK and Kerry are beaten it will be all the sweeter. Same when Leicester beat Man U during the week. Thats Sport.

Had Dublin won the football the Time to split Dublin thread would have reached a 1000 pages by now.

Kerry were written off at the start of the year and were supposed to be done. There were big doubts over KK too. Both teams that won did it the hard way. They beat all comers so well done and fair play to them.

Gaa did a big deal with Sky this year too. Gareth Brooks didn't turn up but the American footballers did.

We were going to get €2 membership money refunded to the clubs. A massive year for the Gaa. And don't forget King Henry who won his 10th medal today.

Ok then.

AI stats-wise it's them again.
You don't hear what a great year it was when looking at Wikipedia in a couple of yrs.

Thats the most nonsensical reasoning Ive heard right there.
