Fair play to Kilkenny, was hoping for a Galway win have am a massive fan of Anthony Cunningham.
Ps heard Phil Hogan was booed off the stage tonite fair play to kk supporters. Politicians need to start understanding that sport has no place for the to be scoring political points. By all means let them go to matches like us all what earns any of them the right to parade with such sporting icons

I was in nowlan park and was a great success. fantastic crowd and a fantastic team. I am sure all future homecomings will continue to be held there. and there will be many more.
Are you joking? Gaelic football is the most boring game. Handpass, handpass, handpass, handpass, handpass…foul, free, over the bar… Handpass, handpass, handpass, handpass, handpass…foul, free, over the bar… Hurling is the greatest game on earth bar none.
Predictable? I don’t think anyone predicted this years championship being centered around a Kilkenny-Galway trilogy. Most people thought it would be a KIlkenny-Tipp final. The credit has to go to Galway for shaking it up, even if importing modern football defence tactics was a big part of it.
The premiership is wide open compared to hurling…it’s a total yawn fest with the same 3 or 4 counties year in year out, more exciting watching the Scottish premier league & of course Kilkenny are going to keep winning as they do absolutely nothing else in the county…just look at All Blacks and rugby…at least Galway have soccer, rugby and football
Less than a handful of teams are capable of winning the premiership, just like the Hurling and Gaelic Football championships have few real contenders. The difference is the large numbers of teams who can play Soccer and Gaelic to a reasonable but, comparatively speaking, mediocre level. The skill levels needed to hurl at the top level is so high that most counties, sadly, cannot live with the top ones.
It’s not quite the mobbing that Donegal got last week but I suppose you get used to them parading around after a few years. “Not this lot again, do they ever do anything else but wave that trophy around?”
elmo looking at these photos is a major disappointment as it looks like there are about 10 people cheering for them, i can assure you it didn’t show the magnitude of the turn out in any way shape or form!! the place was packed to the rafters and people flooded into nowlan park from 2.30 where the reception was being hosted this year as the crowds in the city are too big!! there is nowhere big enough to hold it any more ;)
I know its not Kilkenny’s fault that no other team is at their level. They are a class team and will go down as the best of all time. They can only beat whats in front of them but saying that i will give the hurling a miss next year. No excitement anymore. This latest kilkenny win just destroyed all hope of a competitive championship next year where the cup is up for grabs. Congrats anyway kilkenny.
Borrrrrrriiiiing…..same old ,same old. Same as last year, more of the same next year….same county, same colours…..change the channel
True and no other county will ever make the break through Offaly and Wexford are now dropped completely off the pace and Dublin try god bless them so the structure is contracting all the time soon Kilkenny will be deemed eternal All Ireland champions and they can hurl away amongst themselves while everyone else moved on to other sports sad but true
What do you want, for Kilkenny to stop entering the Championship just because you’re bored? I know I speak for thousands of Kilkenny supporters when I say we’re not bored of our team winning – we know it can’t last forever so we’re enjoying every triumph the best hurling team of all time gives us. So I say well done lads, thanks for another great performance and here’s to many more.
