All Ireland Hurling Final

After the exertions of our hill walk in Carlingford, we had a much more sedate Sunday. We had 2 great seats in the Cusack Stand, just on the half way line, for the All Ireland Hurling final between Kilkenny and Limerick. As I was born in Limerick I had to support the Limerick team and of course Kilkenny were firm favourites at odds of One to Four. Kilkenny were good value even for these ridiculously short odds and they provided us with an exhibition in precision hurling. They won every Limerick puck out in the first fifteen minutes and after just 11 minutes they had won the game being ahead by 2 goals and 3 points to no score. Given that the final score was 2-19 to 1-15 you could say that Limerick won the last 59 minutes! But I am sure that Kilkenny never really went above 3rd gear.
The consolation prize for Mags was that Tipperary beat Cork convincingly in the minors.
