Read the full match report: Late McLoughlin point earns Galway a draw in thrilling affair with Kilkenny
Having led by six points in the second half, manager Derek Lyng admitted that the result felt like a defeat;
“I suppose at the end just a little bit of frustration there from our end. I think at one stage we were three or four up, we would like to close it out at that stage. They’re a good team. They picked off a few scores and we had a couple of chances really to probably finish it, but we did not take them. So look, we’ll take a lot of learning from it. “
“Probably at the end probably it feels a bit like a defeat, but we just have to get on with it now and dust ourselves down and be ready for the week ahead. “
