Brian Cody has announced his retirement as manager of the Kilkenny senior hurling team, ending a 24-year reign of unprecedented success.
There was 70 minutes, nearly 71 minutes on the clock. Three points in it and three minutes to go. Tommy Walsh comes storming out of defence with loads of time remaining. As he looks up, there are two Kilkenny lads screaming for the ball, unmarked in the middle of the field.
While all the focus has been on one Kilkenny manager this week, another is preparing for a mammoth challenge.
Nearly one million people watched Limerick seal their third All-Ireland Hurling Championship in succession at Croke Park across RTÉ platforms.
RTÉ analyst Dónal Óg Cusack has said that while the ever-increasing standard of hurling is pumping oxygen into the lungs of the game, the condensed nature of the season is sucking it right back out.
We had been waiting all year for peak Limerick.
Close but no cigar.
Kilkenny won the second of their famous four All-Ireland titles in a row in 2007 under Brian Cody when they beat Limerick in the final.
