Iconic Moment No.2

KILKENNY, as expected, hammered Limerick in the All-Ireland final but it was a victory that had extra significance for a team that had been in mourning for most of the summer.

The image of Darragh McGarry on the podium as captain Henry Shefflin collected the Liam McCarthy Cup is the one that sticks in the mind.

Darragh, son of goalkeeper James, was involved in a car crash that killed his mother Vanessa just months earlier.

It was a bittersweet day for Darragh and James and the raw emotions expressed by young Darragh struck a cord with everyone who saw it.
