Kilkenny outlasted Galway in an underwhelming Leinster final that was immediately overshadowed once again by the interaction between their respective managers at full-time.
The sequel to 'handshake-gate' somehow lived up to the hype as RTE cameras remained fixated on Brian Cody and Henry Shefflin as Cody made his way around the pitch shaking hands with anyone he came across whilst Shefflin was rooted to his spot with a bitterly disappointed expression etched upon his face.
Eventually Shefflin made his way onto the Croke Park surface and approached his former coach with their brief exchange generating a large ironic cheer from the crowd.
