Hurling 'recession' is over in TIPPERARY!!!!!!!!

Yes, the hurling 'recession' is definitely over in the Premier County. Kilkenny's attempt to win a fifth All-Ireland hurling title in a row was stopped in its tracks by a very determined Tipperary side in Croke Park. The 2009 beaten finalists made up for last year's disappointment by ending the winning run of Kilkenny. The game was watched and listenened to by Irish people across the world and over 80,000 spectators at GAA headquarters. Hearty congratulations to the Tipperary Team and its Management. The final score at Croke Park on Sunday, 5th September, 2010 was Tipperary 4-17 and Kilkenny 1-18.
