Cillian Buckley is delighted to be heading back to Croke Park alongside his Kilkenny team mates for yet another All-Ireland SHC final.

Following last weekend's titanic battle against Waterford, the Cats can look forward to a trip to GAA headquarters on the first Sunday in September.

They will renew rivalries with Tipperary in what already has been described as an eagerly awaited contest.

Buckley admitted to the Kilkenny People that every year the aim is to reach the All-Ireland decider.

"There's no better place to be," enthused the talented wing back. "We've a lot to look forward to preparing for this game but the All-Ireland final is where you want to be.

"We're looking forward to it, even if it's a tough three weeks ahead of us."
