Four points gets you 2nd place and home advantage for the final in the Mickey Mouse Munster Championship.
Five points gets you 4th place and the rest of the summer off in the Box Office Leinster Championship.

Galway supporters have the real consolation of knowing they won the most entertaining game of the round robin phase across either province.

The only right game of hurling played all year and the victors are out. The world is fucked
One right game of hurling doesnât make a summer.
Youâre like a hurling Confucius lately.
Looking at the 1993 drawn Leinster Final on youtube. I felt on the day watching it in Croke Park it was the toughest, best game of hurling I had ever seen. It stands the test of time very well 26 years on.
Leinster was fucking great in the 90âs. That game was brilliant. Wexford in 93 were terribly unlucky.
League and championship.
That was some team score under pressure from Eamonn Morrissey to level it at the death. The one thing I always remember about that match was John Power and Liam Dunne right in front of me during first half and they just flaking at each other the whole way through and the ref having the good sense to leave them alone and let them at it.

Amazing game. So much pressure on the ball. Smaller pitch in those days cc @Gman.
Genuine respect between players after the game.
2 fine teams.

Horan subsequently refereed the â96 All Ireland and appeared on the Brennan brothersâ 'At your service '.
And spent some summers holidaying in Rosslare.

We were on a family holiday in Doonbeg the Sunday of the replay. Got the train from Limerick. Remember standing in the Skylon with the rain bucketing down.
We went back to Doonbeg wet and with our hearts broken again.

I remember being in the Hogan for that game. I was in the cusack for the infamous DJ 50 steps kicked goal. Some wexford fans were busting down the aisles for a pitch invasion and even as a chap at the time I thought it was premature. Those bastards had a mental scarring on me all though my youth.

I was at the match with my mother, a Wexford woman and my father, a Kilkenny man. We didnât go to the replay. We all knew the score when Morrissey leveled it.

That game haunts me still. Storey flaking the sideline wide and Billy going for a shot he was never going to get. The jumper Fitzy wore in goal was just iconic.

Wexford let that match slip with the goal conceded just seconds before half time, which cut the Wexford lead from 7 to 4. John OâConnor had Eamonn Morrissey in his pocket first half. Morrissey went in full forward a few minutes before half time, OâConnor followed him in initially, but got sent back to the corner by the Wexford brains trust. Ger Cushe couldnât handle Morrissey.
