Watching back the Galway vs Kilkenny game from the behind the goal camera was an interesting experience.
All has been resolved with fixtures in place for next year.
Kilkenny’s talisman almost dragged his team over the line with a sublime haul of 2-11 against Galway at Nowlan Park.

Galway, Tipperary, Cork and Waterford are all still in the running.
There were good and bad signs for Tipperary against Clare, while Michael ‘Brick’ Walsh was Waterford’s unsung hero in their victory over Wexford.
The Rebels were deserving winners of yesterday’s Munster senior hurling final, keeping it simple again and relying on a tried and trusted system.
Wexford, while bringing serious intensity and physicality to yesterday’s Leinster final, crumbled under pressure and Galway will take some stopping in All-Ireland race.
I wondered if Cork’s performance against Tipp was a one-off but they improved even more to see off Waterford.
Wexford asked the majority of the questions, and had the answers when required, against the Cats at Innovate Wexford Park.
Clare varied their play very well yesterday but Limerick would profit from a more consistent, direct approach.
This was impressive stuff from Galway but Dublin were desperately poor and naive in Tullamore.
Cork’s defending and use of possession was much improved compared to last year’s meeting between the counties.
Confirmation, if needed, yesterday that Galway are genuine All-Ireland contenders.
We look at the good and the bad.
