Familiar foes Galway stand between Kilkenny and a fourth Leinster Senior Hurling Championship title in succession this weekend.
When the sides met at UPMC Nowlan Park back in April, there was nothing between them as they played out a 0-28 to 1-25 draw with Galway staging a late rally to claim a point.
Indeed, Henry Shefflin’s men are the only undefeated team so far in the All-Ireland SHC series after fighting back from being 12 points down against Dublin in their final round-robin game to rescue a draw at Croke Park.
