Galway and Kilkenny played out a tense 0-18 to 0-18 draw in the Leinster hurling final today in Croke Park.

It was a nip-and-tuck game that saw TJ Reid land 0-10 including a late equaliser from the halfway line. For Galway,  Niall Burke hit 0-4 from play but both sides hit a surprisingly high number of wides.

The consequence of the draw is that a replay is required next weekend. That game is set for Thurles, as Croke Park is unavailable due to a Michael Buble on Saturday evening.

In Croke Park's opening game, Carlow defeated Westmeath in the Joe McDonagh Cup final. It means Carlow will compete in the Leinster Championship next year.
