Galway and Kilkenny's Leinster Championship semi-final in Tullamore today was a classic. The Connacht men came from 10 points down with less than 10 minutes to go to claim a draw. Joe Canning scored a dramatic late equalising point to seal the replay.
Twitter absolutely loved the game.
Proper ding-dong match between Galway and kilkenny at the moment. #GAA

The moment I tweet that, Kilkenny score 1-7 without reply… #GAA

And then I tweet again and Galway score two goals. My hands are shaking as I write this. I have too much power.

Time for two MORE points and then it’s a draw. Exhausting. And I was watching by twitter! #GAA

Did that actually just happen?

Who writes these scripts? Kilkenny were 9 points up with 8 minutes left. And then Canning. And then Shefflin. And then Canning!

I still can't believe what happened there. Never seen anything like it. What a score by Canning at the end.

That is only the 2nd time #Kilkenny have conceded 5 goals under Brian Cody. The first was the 2005 AI semi final v #Galway
