Champions’ conversion rate was incredible on a day when Kilkenny, just like Galway in the semi-final, were eventually overwhelmed
Both days they met their primary target of hitting 40 shots or more. In his post-match interviews John Kiely is always talking about efficiency, and that’s what makes the difference for Limerick. Their efficiency was down at various times earlier in the championship, but in the biggest game of the year they had a conversion rate of about 73 per cent, which is phenomenal.
Limerick only scored nine points in the first half, but he was directly involved in six of them: scored two, made the assist for two, and was fouled for two converted frees.

Aaron Gillane is still a lot of people’s favourite for Hurler of the Year, and he had some top class performances during the season, but Huw Lawlor beat him hands-down on Sunday. A couple of points from play was not enough to tip the scales. Lawlor was Kilkenny’s best player on the day, in my opinion.
They both led by six and lost by nine – a 15 point swing. Galway stayed with them for about 45 minutes whereas Kilkenny probably lasted a few minutes more, but not much longer. They’re both starting next year from a similar position.
