Kilkenny's post-match celebrations featured a familiar, though unexpected face.
FAI chief executive John Delaney was snapped by Sportsfile raising Liam McCarthy and celebrating on the Kilkenny bus along with Brian Cody and selector Michael Dempsey.
Apparently Delaney - born in Waterford - is a big Kilkenny fan.

Cats corner-back Paul Murphy told the Irish Sun about Delaney's fandom.
He’s a big Kilkenny hurling fan. I know he would have been down in Ferrybank. His family and his father are big Kilkenny fans.
He'll surely get a few pints in later on.
