John Kiely’s would total 21 points in the after the turnaround and outscore their opponents by 0-9 to 0-2 down the home stretch for their fourth successive All-Ireland senior hurling title.
“At half-time we weren’t happy with our puck outs, their puck outs, Kilkenny were that small bit hungrier than us on the breaking ball and we addressed that,” Casey told RTE Sport afterwards.

“I actually think we started the second half well and Paddy Deegan’s goal was a sucker punch but, listen, we’ve been here before, we have loads of reference points. Just absolutely delighted to get the kick out of the boys after that.
“I think we got the next six, seven points after Paddy Deegan’s goal which was huge to push on again.
“It’s just the history we have, we’ve all grown up, we’ve had success at underage, there have been times when we’ve had ups and downs in our careers and stuck together.
“Our half back line is well over 6ft 2, 6ft 3, it’s brilliant and a platform for us to kick on and try and get scores. It’s up to us then to try and do the damage.”
