Galway produced a stunning performance to defeat Kilkenny by 3-25 to 1-16 in the opening round of the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship at a sunny Pearse Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
A Rory Burke brace and a goal from Jason Rabbitte crowned what was a fantastic victory for Micheal Donoghue's side. The hosts led by 2-8 to 0-9 at half time, and kicked on after the restart as they get their championship campaign off to the perfect start.
