ALL IRELAND HURLING FINAL
TIP 3-25 0-20 KILKENNY
CLASSY CALLANAN

Richie Hogan puts over Kilkenny's first score from play after good work by Colin Fennelly
Richie Hogan is caught with a high challenge by Cathal Barrett who is lucky to avoid a card here. Hogan has a bad cut on his nose and Kilkenny will bring in Billy Ryan in a blood sub. Reid puts over another one right in front of the posts.
Kilkenny's backs are defending brilliantly here, Niall O'Meara picks up a rare breaking ball for Tipp but has to shoot quickly under pressure and the blocked shot goes behind for a 65. Jason Forde drills it over the bar
Niall O'Meara fires home an amazing goal from way out! The teams are level
Jason Forde puts over a 65 and now Tipperary have the lead!
John O'Dwyer has acres of space along the Cusack Side put drops his shot wide. Straight from the puck out John Donnelly claims the high ball brilliantly and fires it over the bar
 Tipp drop the high ball onto the two man inside forward line and it's a rare victory for the Premier in there as the ball breaks to John McGrath who puts it over
 Richie Hogan is in trouble for a high shoulder to the head of Cathal Barrett. RED CARD! Richie Hogan has been sent off for Kilkenny
Colin Fennelly wins a free right in front of the posts as the rain begins to thunder down again. TJ Reid puts an easy won over the bar to level the game again
Noel McGrath puts over an easy free from in front of the posts and that has Tipperary ahead
HT KIKENNY 0-11 1-09 TIP
Seamus Callanan has found the net and he has scored a goal in every single game this Championship!
 An incredible record for Callanan who tapped the ball into the empty net after John McGrath's shot was effort. And now the Tipp captain adds a point to stretch the lead to four points!
 John Bubbles O'Dwyer has found the net Seamus Callanan played a brilliant crossfield ball to Bubbles who was in acres of space in front of the goal and smashed it home. The numerical advantage is really telling
Another point from a TJ Reid free right along the sideline. Cillian Buckley is being brought off for Richie Leahy
Ger Browne puts over a fantastic long range point from midfield, champagne stuff from Tipperary now
It's another for Tipperary as Willie Connors becomes the latest sub to score
 Another for Willie Connors! It's a second half thumping from Tipperary
 An easy free now for Seamus Callanan which should be the last word
MY OPINION
Tips second goal was what killed it off but I do not think the high reach was worth a sending off for Kilkenny as that was a huge factor also and I think that if he had not been sent off maybe other things like the second goal might not have happened
