Eamon O'Shea felt a draw was a fair result in today's All-Ireland hurling final.

Tipperary and Kilkenny must meet again on Saturday, September 27 after a pulsating encounter ended level, 1-28 to 3-22. Speaking to RTE, the Premier County manager insisted that both teams deserve another crack at it:

"It was a great game. I expected us to come and we came. It's not gone yet. It was a fantastic game of hurling from both sides. They were on top, then we were on top.

"These are brilliant games and times. We're unhappy because we didn't win it but, by God, our boys gave it everything. Tipperary can be proud tonight and we go back and prepare for the next game."

He added: "You'll always make mistakes. Both teams made mistakes. I just think you should look at the game as a terrific game of hurling, a magnificent day and it just fantastic we have another chance for both teams."
