Today was a big day for Irish sport.
Kicking off with that epic promo video from RTE that gave just about everyone goosebumps.
Then people on Twitter lost their minds during the half-time break.
John Mullane talked about how he’d ride a horse naked through Waterford if they won.
Which he thankfully won’t have to do now because Galway went home with the championship cup.
And the crowds in Galway’s Eyre Square watching the match were some sight to see, especially once the winners were announced:

We reckon this tweet will sum up the aftermath pretty accurately…
The queue for Supermacs Eyre Square tonight will start somewhere around Athlone
