Dublin v Kilkenny




Ah, the age-old rivalry between Dublin and Kilkenny. It's a battle that has been fought on hurling fields for centuries, and one that always gets the blood pumping. I've been lucky enough to witness this epic clash on many occasions, and I can tell you, there's nothing quite like it.

The atmosphere is electric, the crowd is raucous, and the players are gladiators. It's a spectacle that takes your breath away. And this year, the stakes are higher than ever.

Dublin are the reigning All-Ireland champions, but Kilkenny are hungry to reclaim their throne. They're both packed with talent, and they both have a point to prove. It's going to be a battle for the ages.

I'm not going to try and predict who's going to win, because that would be foolish. But I can tell you this: it's going to be a match that will live long in the memory.

So, grab a pint, sit back, and enjoy the show. This is one you won't want to miss.

Here are a few of my favorite memories from past Dublin v Kilkenny matches:

  • The 2011 All-Ireland final: This was a classic match that went down to the wire. Dublin were trailing by two points with just minutes remaining, but they managed to pull off a dramatic comeback to win by a single point.
  • The 2014 All-Ireland semi-final: This was another close match that was decided by a single point. Kilkenny were leading by two points with just seconds remaining, but Dublin managed to score a late goal to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
  • The 2016 All-Ireland final: This was a one-sided affair, with Dublin dominating from start to finish. They won by a margin of 15 points, which is the biggest winning margin in an All-Ireland final since 1961.

I'm sure there will be many more unforgettable moments in the years to come. So, if you're ever lucky enough to witness a Dublin v Kilkenny match, cherish it. It's an experience that you'll never forget.
