The white boots have been produced! This is sensational stuff.

Was enjoying the Off The Ball live from the RĆ³isĆ­n Dubh, apart from the tech difficulties.

Galway 2/1 are the greatest bet off all time.

Iā€™m not one for statistics. Or even maths. But does that mean in effect that I can buy money for 50%?

Will Hanbury mark TJ Reid when the latter inevitably wanders into the edge of the square at the start of the game?

Possibly. He could just spear tackle him straight away and get it over and done with?

Whats the money on a draw?

Absolutely. What odds would I get on Galway to win by at least 10 points? When they beat Kilkenny its often a win of the comprehensive variety.

Minus 5 they are 6 to 1.

First will Hanbury start? He is carrying a bit of a niggle and Cunningham wont take any chance after starting a wounded goalie in 2012. Secondly he didnt trust him to mark Callanan and didnā€™t trust him to mark Reid in the Leinster final so why would he trust him now?

That said he has learned that Mannian isnā€™t the answer at 3 either.

Will Kileen make a push? Doubtful.

I think heā€™ll trust hanbury but will try to protect him.

So Iā€™d consider Cillian Buckley as one of the main platforms for Kilkenny attacks. How do Galway unsettle him?

Spear tackle early on?

Be interesting to see if Colin Fennelly and Eoin Larkin are brought out to curb Jason Flynn and Cathal Mannion, they definitely wonā€™t be allowed the space they got in the Semi-Final.
Likewise, how will Galway protect the full back line?
Has the makings of an intriguing final anyway.

Theyā€™d be exposing the full-back line bringing Hanbury outā€¦

Iā€™d say Andy Smith would administer one with ease
