GAA viewers say Eoin Murphy save the 'best of all time' as Kilkenny make All-Ireland Hurling final

GAA viewers reckon Eoin Murphy's save was the best of all time as he denied Peter Duggan and helped the Cats to yet another All-Ireland title.

Kilkenny beat Clare 1-25 to 1-22 in Croke Park on Sunday evening in an instant classic with Derek Lyng's side coming from behind late to reach back-to-back finals.

But it could have been a different story when Peter Duggan rifled the ball towards Eoin Murphy's goal in the dying minutes of the game only to see the legendary Kilkenny shot-stopper flick the ball onto the crossbar and deny Duggan and Clare.

And GAA viewers believe that it could have been the best save of all time with one person saying: "I’m going to call it. The best save of all time. Eoin Murphy, take a bow."

While another said: "Has to be the greatest save of all time Eoin Murphy take a bow."

And another added: "There'll never be enough replays of that Eoin Murphy save."

The victory means that Kilkenny and Limerick do battle in the All-Ireland final for the second year running after John Kiely's side dismantled Galway on Saturday evening at GAAHQ.

This year's final takes place at Sunday, 23 July.
