Championship, as usual, will be substantial step up from the league. We finished our campaign against Tipp with 15 minutes of flourish followed by 55 minutes of whimper. Tipp showed the level that they are at against Limerick which helps put some context on our league finish.
Kilkenny will show the level they are at next weekend in the final. If its one team they can't stand to loose to its Tipp. I'd expect everything on show for this one.
