Kilkenny SHC final Thomastown 0-18 O’Loughlin Gaeles 0-7 THOMASTOWN ARE KILKENNY Senior Hurling champions for the first time since 1946 after they dethroned defending champions O’Loughlin Gaels in a surprisingly one sided affair in Nowlan Park.
It’s a remarkable success in many ways but it was so deserved as they dominated a final played in very difficult conditions from start to finish. Kilkenny’s John Donnelly played a starring role in scoring four points from play but as has been the case all year, it’s the collective effort that helped Thomastown outrun and overpower their more illustrious opponents who were only in the All-Ireland senior final last January.
Advertisement As well as Donnelly, Jonjo Farrell, Peter McDonald and Rory Connellan all got in on the first half act with Mark Bergin, Conor Heary and Owen Wall just about keeping the champions in touch. Jamie Ryan, Owen Wall and Mark Bergin added to the O’Loughlins tally but the scant tally of three second half points told the story as they were outplayed all over the field.
