Kilkenny Minor Manager Richie Mulrooney admits they were expecting to meet Galway in the Championship at some stage if they were to reach an All-Ireland Final.
Speaking to KCLR ahead of today’s (Sunday’s) All-Ireland Minor showdown, Richie says today’s contest is 50-50.
He said “Whether it’s at 18 or 17, Galway are nearly in the All-Ireland Minor Final every year, and that’s something you have to give great credit to, they showed great respect, but at the same time look to be there to meet them every year as we have been last year now and this year, I see this match as 50-50 match we have a great chance of winning it”.
