If you want to see hurling at it's best this is the match !!!!

 The 2005 Guinness All Ireland Semi-Final clash between Kilkenny and  Galway was considered by many to be the game of the year and indeed one of the greatestt games of hurling games in recent years. In a display which contained all the great skills of hurling the commentator, Marty Morrissey, quipped, "It's a wonderful game when it's played like this."
In all nine goals were scored between both teams, however, Galway were victorious with a massive score of 5-18 to Kilkenny's 4-18.
Galway didn't manage to win the final against Cork in 2005 but this semi-final match had the fans and the commentators in overdrive with superaltives.
