The margin of victory was just two points but the Cats were denied a clear penalty late in the game.
Kilkenny won 2-13 to 0-17 in turbulent conditions at Headquarters, but the margin of victory could have been far greater had Donal O’Grady’s foul on Richie Power been punished with a penalty rather than a free.
That is possibly the worst refereeing decision I have ever seen in #GAA. And in the era of Marty Duffy that’s saying something.

Shocking…. Donal O Grady should have been handed a straight red card for that!!! Not even a penalty?! #LimerickVKilkenny#gaa

In the end, however, it didn’t matter and goals from Richie Power and Eoin Larkin made the difference for Brian Cody’s side.
