If Sunday’s All-Ireland Club Senior Hurling Championship final comes down to hunger alone, then surely Dunloy’s desire to lift the Tommy Moore Cup will be much greater than that of Ballyhale.
The Kilkenny side are the most successful club team in the history of the competition with eight All-Ireland titles. They’ve contested the last three finals, winning two and were only narrowly denied a hat-trick by a brilliant goal by Ballygunner’s Harry Ruddle in a thrilling decider last February.
