Galway minor boss Jeffrey Lynskey isn't reading anything into their round-robin win over Kilkenny ahead of the All-Ireland MHC final showdown.

Chasing an impressive third title in four years, Lynskey has been around the block long enough to know their previous encounter with the Cats will count for nothing when the sliotar is thrown in tomorrow.

"We played them in the round-robin but it's like anything else, it's a new game, it's nil-nil," he pointed out to the Irish Independent.

"We had a seven-point margin on them but they've, like ourselves, tweaked and improved since then. It's Kilkenny in an All-Ireland final, it's a one-off game.

"It's a bit like ourselves last year, we weren't probably favourites. Cork were raging-hot favourites last year and we turned them over.

"Richie (Mulrooney) has been there like myself for a good while, he was there in '08, '09 and '10 in three finals, so he brings that experience with him."
