Leinster u20 final was a good game with a tight finish but gritty hurling rather than champagne stuff. Not sure I'd have it in my top 3 games I saw. For me, in no particular order,
AI final
Munster Final
Kilkenny v Wexford

Honourable mentions-
Antrim v Kerry
Wexford v Kilkenny u20

All ireland senior hurling final
All ireland u20 hurling final and the munster final senior have to be top of the list with the Offaly Tipp minor final also worth a mention.

I thought Limerick v Waterford was a cracker. Both teams were the best in the country at that point. The movement, skill and pace from both in the first half was outstanding. Aaron Gillane's display that night will live long in the memory. The way Waterford constructed their second goal was classy. All from a short ball by their keeper. A few seconds later the net rattled.

Haven't seen it mentioned as a top 3 contender yet though.

A top game needs to have some doubt about the result in the closing stages though.

I see it has been mentioned twice here, but I thought the U20 All-Ireland final wasn't great.
It was certainly tense and tight to the end, but I thought the quality was poor enough at times.
There were a lot bad touches, misplaced passes and poor shots at goal, many of them under little pressure from an opponent.
I appreciate that they had the pressure of a final, but I thought both teams hurled better in earlier rounds.
It wasn't a poor game at all, but I wouldn't have it near the top-3 this year.

That's what makes the gaa great we all have different opinions on things and see different things in games but at the end of the day we are all united on one thing we all love hurling.
