And that makes it 36. It was looking dicey going in at Half-Time trailing by three points but a blistering 2nd half performance obliterated the Galway attack to eventually win the game by four points. And here's how Twitter received the news.
Congrats to Kilkenny. Great second half from them. Impact off the bench. How good is TJ Reid!! #GAA #KKvGAL #SundayGame

Cody has won 11 All Irelands as a coach. That's the same as Co.Clare and Co.Limerick combined. Surely format needs to change? No? — Donn O Sullivan (@DonnOSullivan) September 6, 2015
Tremendous effort by Galway. Will rue not being more clinical in first half. But Kilkenny have done this to them all.
