RTÉ Sport Online Journalist Kilkenny dethroned champions Galway to end a run of All-Ireland finals heartbreak, claiming victory on a scoreline of 1-14 to 1-11 at Croke Park. In his maiden year as manager Brian Dowling led a team that had lost five of the previous six finals to ultimate glory after a superb second half performance.

The goal was a severe insult to Kilkenny’s defensive effort up to then. Aside from Phelan, Michelle Teehan had made a series of alert interventions, and Grace Walsh was often seen helping out and relieving pressure.
