If anyone has been watching GAA Beo this afternoon then you won't need us to tell you that you have been served an absolute treat. For anyone who hasn't been watching we'll let these knowledgable people do the talking.
That is why hurling is the greatest of games - Kilmallock v Cratloe #endofdebate #GAA

Unbelievable Munster club hurling final between Cratloe and Kilmallock. 42 scores and ends all level. Extra time to come #hurling

We can however give you a quick snapshot of what it was like with this incredible (possibly game saving) Kilmallock block in midfield which allowed Jake Mulcahy to equalise with moments to go. 14 men Kilmallock then took the lead before Martin Oige Murphy levelled things at the death to bring the game to extra time. (If anyone wants to set us straight on exactly who it was throwing himself through the air, please do)
With 15 men restored, Kilmallock kicked on in extra time and pulled away to win by 1-32 to 3-18. The Limerick men claim the Munster Club Championship title but really that was a victory for hurling and everyone who witnessed it.

That Kilmallock man's block & follow up at end of normal time = the most heroic timely act ever seen on a pitch..launched himself 2x!
