Sunday sport: Last second goal clinches Leinster title for Kilkenny

GAA

A goal from Cillian Buckley in the last second of play clinched the Leinster title for Kilkenny in a thrilling final at Croke Park.

Galway led by two points in stoppage time after a miraculous comeback from eight points down. After a scramble near the Galway goal the sliotar came out to Bucklet who slotted it home for The Cats.

The win marks Kilkenny's fourth Bob' O Keefe Cup in a row.

Earlier, Limerick beat Clare by a single point in the Munster Senior Hurling Championship final.

It's Limerick's fifth Munster title victory in a row, while Clare were looking for their first provincial crown since 1998.

There was huge controversy at the final whistle as Clare were denied what seemed to be a certain free.

McIlroy says retaining the title would be special.
