Fans compare Brian Cody and Henry Shefflin to Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy after icy handshake

It was a battle of master versus apprentice at Pearse Stadium this afternoon and the apprentice came out on top - as Kilkenny legend Henry Shefflin managed Galway to a one-point win over Brian Cody's Cats.

Kilkenny launched a second half comeback and levelled the game in additional time, but Conor Cooney struck from a placed ball right at the death to give Galway the win.
