The trophy was presented from the Hogan stand to Kilkenny captain Brian Hogan by GAA president Christy Cooney. After the presentation the Kilkenny team and management went on a lap of honour around the Croke Park pitch.

Man of the Match

Kilkenny's J. J. Delaney was chosen as the man-of-the-match for the final. A panel on The Sunday Game on the night of the final, consisting of Anthony Daly, Michael Duignan and John Henderson, chose Delaney from a shortlist that also included Tommy Walsh and Michael Fennelly. He was presented with his award by the GAA president Christy Cooney at the team's victory banquet at the Citywest Hotel in Dublin which was shown live as part of The Sunday Game on RTÉ Two. [26] [27]

Reaction

Kilkenny manager Brian Cody described the win as "massively sweet". Speaking to RTÉ he said that "for the last few years we have been coming in as champions and favourites to win the match, this year was very different, Tipperary were great champions, they set very high standards and they were hot favourites to win today, in those situations it becomes sweet to win because we had to play at a serious level to win it from minute one." [28] Tommy Walsh said that his sixth All-Ireland win was the sweetest of all. Speaking to the Irish Examiner he said "It stands as the sweetest because we lost last year, after last year and losing the five-in-a-row it was heartbreaking all last winter and it probably showed out there today how much it affected us". [29] Tipperary manager Declan Ryan paid tribut to Kilkenny saying "we were lucky to go in only five points down at half-time, Hats off to Kilkenny, they showed they were real champions to come back and play like that today". [30] Former Tipperary manager Nicky English writing in The Irish Times said that "Kilkenny were by far the best team, with team being the operative word, and fully deserved their success, they were the masters in all areas and, from the word go, set out to dominate the physical exchanges just as much as they did in their pomp and in their glory years". [31] Tipperary coach Tommy Dunne speaking the day after the match had praise for Kilkenny saying "They have won eight in 12 years so the statistics speak for themselves, they are a fabulous team and they will rightly go down as one of the greatest teams of all time, if not the greatest, and they showed why they are that again on Sunday". [32] [33] Martin Breheny, writing in the Irish Independent , said that "Brian Cody’s Cats with this victory are poised to surpass Mick O'Dwyer's Kerry football team of the 1970s and 80s as the greatest GAA team in history". [34]

Civic reception

The victorious Kilkenny team arrived back at McDonagh Station in Kilkenny City the day after the final for an open top bus parade to the civic reception at Market Yard. [35] [36] An estimated 30,000 supporters welcomed the team home to Kilkenny for the celebrations. [37] [38]

Awards

Kilkenny had fourteen players nominated for the 2011 GAA-GPA Hurling All-Stars, with David Herity, Paul Murphy and Colin Fennelly being nominated for their first awards, Tipperary received ten nominations. [39] This was the first year of the awards being jointly run by the GAA and Gaelic Players Association [40] [41] In October 2011, Henry Shefflin established a new record when he was awarded his 10th All-Star award and was one of eight Kilkenny players named on the 2011 GAA GPA All Star hurling team. Tipperary received four awards. [42] Kilkenny's Michael Fennelly along with winning an All Star award was also named as the GAA GPA Hurler of the year. [43] [44]
