ilkenny 2-14 : Cork 2-12

This DVD has the full match as originally broadcast

Two contrasting motivations going into the final. Kilkenny are looking to record back-to-back All-Irelands whereas Cork are desperate to restore their reputation after falling disappointingly short the previous year. Once again the team has recorded a crushing win over Waterford in the Munster final and defeated Galway in the All-Ireland semi-final, a match notable for Jimmy Barry-Murphy’s stunning goal.
