Cathal Barrett winning a free for Jason Forde's late winner.
Subs ratings:
18. Paddy Cadell - 7/10: Made a big impact in his time on the pitch, using the ball really well aroud midfield and the half back line.
23. Ronan Maher - 8/10: Like Cadell, his introduction changed the flow of the game, at a time Kilkenny were on top. A fantastic point roused his teammates and fans alike.
19. Seamus Callanan - 6/10: Had two chances for scores in his time on the pitch, hitting a pointed effort wide before having a shot at goal well blocked. Early days in terms of match fitness.
21. Paul Flynn - NR: Introduced in the 66th minute, Flynn set up Callanan for his goal opportunity but didn't feature otherwise.
26. Conor Stakelum - NR: Got onto one ball in his late, late introduction but didn't have enough time to make an impact.
