Dublin made a big statement there.

The Cats' days as undisputed #1 in Leinster are over and tbh they look in a bit of trouble going forward with little coming through.

Where was the KK fight today? They went out with a whimper.

Fair play lads. I said at the beginning of the year you're the most settled team in Leinster. Finish the job now

The story in Leinster this year is how far the KK standard has fallen. It's easily 30 years since KK were as bad as they've been in 2026. They'll probably rebound a bit next year?

Sounds like very begrudging support, keep it to yourself

So. Galway bad too? That's the logic....

Wow - what a win
Over the moon.

Delighted I was there in Parnell Park to witness that.

No medal won but that was some victory and fully deserved. And to do it without 2 of our star players…

Amazing to see the Neller packed to the rafters like that.

Hard luck to the Cats. Very gracious in defeat to be fair to them.

And well done Offaly also.

Galway will be some challenge in 2 weeks. But tonight we celebrate beating Kilkenny.

We're not great. Very flaky at the moment. Running up big deficits against Kildare and a Wexford team with nothing to play for isn't the sign of a consistently good team. A long road ahead for Galway.
We're actually more reliant on the young lads than the older ones. Need to get Rory Burke back and Niland the younger.

Each game is different. Don't think anyone was expecting Clare to fold like that.

Anything might happen, and probably will!!

Congrats to our hurlers yesterday. Delighted for them. Played with great heart and incredible skill. One thing: they need to tighten up on is their point taking. A bit wasteful at times. Great atmosphere in Parnell Pk yesterday.

Winning leinster and performing well in an all Ireland semi would be an excellent year for Galway. But with the young lads who have burst through and another promising u20 crew the next few years looks bright for Galway

Fair play to Dublin yesterday against Kilkenny, we'll meet again obviously in a couple of weeks where we'll hopefully give a better account of ourselves and not another 17 wides here's hoping.
