I’m glad that really hurling and what went on on the pitch was the best thing about today.” “After last weekend against Westmeath the attention turned straight away to the Kilkenny game and that’s it. “It was a unique opportunity me coming up here but today was a unique occasion. Two legends of the game, if I wasn’t here tonight I’d have been going straight to Salthill for that reason alone. The handshake happened, I didn’t see anything in it.

In Leinster, it was a comprehensive 23 point win for Dublin over Wexford and compared to their performance last year it bodes well for their season after all the talk of the Dubs faltering. Dick Clerkin was on the show to look back on all the weekend football action with the main talking point the defeat of All-Ireland Champions, Tyrone, at the hands of Derry. Munster’s only game was the meeting of Cork and Clare and the Banner county have made it two wins from two with their two point win following on from their victory over Tipperary the previous week.

Tried as Liam Sheedy might to commiserate with Cody, it didn’t appear he was interested in the platitudes. Cody and O’Shea were all smiles at the end of the drawn 2014 All-Ireland final largely because John O’Dwyer’s last gasp free sailed wide.

Galway had an impressive win against Kilkenny on Sunday at Pearce Stadium, one of the stand out moments after the game was the Brian Cody and Henry Shefflin handshake. The former Limerick hurler Shane Dowling was on The Sunday Game last night and said he was disappointed to see it at full-time. “You can see the stare from Brian Cody, and you can nearly see Henry looking back at him as if he’s nearly disappointed, and I don’t know maybe we’re overthinking it Des, but Henry’s had a fairly hard time over the last couple of weeks, and I think considering what them two men have been through together.”
