Reaction

Tipperary's Pádraic Maher said that he knew the injury-time attempt from John O’Dwyer was wide before being confirmed by Hawk-Eye saying "“I was standing right behind Bubbles. I stood right behind his free and I thought it was for three-quarters of the way going over the bar, but it just curled off at the finish. I didn’t even look up at the Hawk Eye because I f***ing knew it was gone wide.Excuse my language, but that’s just the ups and downs of the game. It was fantastic. It must have been some game to watch and it was great to be a part of it. It’s a big game again in three weeks’ time and we'll just try and come out the right side of the result.” [38]

Tipperary manager Eamon O'Shea was focusing on the positives after the draw saying ""I feel I was a participant in a brilliant game," "Of course you feel drained, you try to win the game right until the end, but I just felt the occasion in terms of the game was just one of those was games..."I don't know what it looked like when you're dispassionate...but I just felt it was one of those games, like in 2009 (All-Ireland Final which Kilkenny won), it was just one of those games where you felt it was just good to be there." O'Shea also thought that John O'Dwyer's late free had gone over the bar saying " "I felt he had a chance," I thought it was over but obviously HawkEye said no. He got a great strike on it and he was unlucky." "I'm looking forward to the next day," "When you're involved in a game like that, from my perspective, you just try and win the game right until the end. You don't get a chance to get too emotional about it so I'm just looking forward to the next day, "I thought they (Tipperary) did really well today. They worked really hard, they believed in what they were doing. We could have won it, we might have lost it because we were playing against a fantastic team." [39]

Highlights of the final were shown on The Sunday Game programme which aired at 9:30pm that night on RTÉ Two and was presented by Des Cahill with analysis from Dónal Óg Cusack, Liam Sheedy, and Eddie Brennan. On the man of the match award shortlist were Richie Hogan, John O'Dwyer and Cathal Barrett, with Richie Hogan winning the award. [40]

It was announced right after the drawn match that the replay would take place on Saturday, 27 September at 5pm at Croke park. [41]

The drawn match was the highest scoring 70-minute final since being introduced in 1975, and the first time in championship history that a total of 31 points wasn't enough to win the final. It was also the first time in history that Kilkenny and Tipperary drew in a championship game. [42]

Kilkenny were slight favorites to win the replay, priced at 10/11 with Paddy Power, with Tipperary priced at 6/5 and the draw at 9/1. [43]

[45] Wexford's James Owens was the standby referee with James McGrath as the other linesman, while the sideline official was Alan Kelly from Galway. [46]

Unlike the 2013 All Ireland Final between Cork and Clare where Gavin played 30 seconds over the added on time in which time Clare scored an equalizing point Gavin did not allow any additional time in this game.

Team News
