All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship Final
In an era of unprecedented Limerick success, another pleasant chapter was added to the green and white story.
A gifted generation of players, primed so often for the big occasion by the shrewd John Kiely and his management team, delivered on the Croke Park stage.
Powerful and purposeful, Limerick dealt with Galway's energy. Everywhere on the field, Limerick players were excelling.
Centre back William O'Donoghue anchored the defence with trademark authority flanked by the splendid Diarmaid Byrnes and Kyle Hayes, who landed gorgeous points from range.
At centrefield Adam English and captain Cian Lynch dovetailed nicely, creating and taking scores.
Further up the pitch, Gearóid Hegarty was industrious and influential. Cathal O'Neill, relevant throughout, finished the contest with 1-4. Inside, Aaron Gillane and Peter Casey contributed four points each.
