Kilkenny's tyrannical reign over the hurling land continued unabated with a four point victory against Galway in the All-Ireland final.

The weariness which the dominance of Brian Cody's side has fostered in many was not evident with those watching the game on Sky Sports 5 today.

Most of them were just trying to understand what the hell was happening on the pitch.
