Galway and Kilkenny met in Semple Stadium as a curtain raiser to the All-Ireland senior quarter final on Sunday. A fresh Galway side blitzed Kilkenny early on and never looked back, the men in maroon going onto win by seven points on a scoreline of 1-21 to 2-11.
That was Galway's second game of this series, it was Kilkenny's sixth.
The Cats had come through some tough challenges in Leinster, racking up some outrageous scorelines in the early stages of that competition, playing Dublin twice along the way.
Kilkenny 1-26 Laois 1-12 Kilkenny 3-23 Dublin 4-12 Kilkenny 3-21 Wexford 1-12 Kilkenny 5-28 Westmeath 1-5 Kilkenny 0-24 Offaly 2-13 Kilkenny 7-12 Dublin 6-19.They're not dead yet, they'll have another shot when they face Limerick next weekend to make it into the semi-finals but it's hardly a level playing field with this imbalance in the amount of games played. It would be extremely harsh to pin Galway's rich tradition in the minor competition down to their easy route to the closing stages of the competition, but it's certainly not right. Would it be too hard to throw these lads into Leinster?
