All-Ireland Senior Hurling Final - How Galway Got There - Galway v Kilkenny

Every day over the next seven days in the build up to Sunday's All-Ireland Senior Hurling Final, Galway Bay FM will look back at all of Galway's games in the Leinster Championship and All-Ireland Series.  Today, we start at the beginning when Galway faced Kilkenny in the opening round of the Leinster Championship.  The date was the 18th of April and Micheal Donoghue's Men produced a stunning performance to defeat Kilkenny by 3-25 to 1-16 at a sunny Pearse Stadium. A Rory Burke brace and a goal from Jason Rabbitte crowned what was a fantastic victory for Micheal Donoghue's side. The hosts led by 2-8 to 0-9 at half time, and kicked on after the restart as they get their championship campaign off to the perfect start. The commentary team was Niall Canavan, Sean Walsh, Cyril Farrell and Andy Coen.
