All-Ireland Hurling Final: Kilkenny lead Limerick by three points at half-time

A brilliant first-half of the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship final ended with Kilkenny leading Limerick by 1-9 to 0-9.

The Cats came out flying and at times looked like they could pull away, however, Limerick grew into the game to prevent that from happening.

Eoin Cody scored the crucial goal for Kilkenny.

This is a repeat of last year's final which the Treaty won by two points.

Limerick are looking to become just the third county to complete a four-in-a-row while Kilkenny last won Liam MacCarthy back in 2015.
