Bizarre mix up sees Katie Taylor and kids hurling game clash at Leinster final

Bizarre scenes!

However, perhaps the most intriguing moment was during half-time, when Katie Taylor's entourage - who were celebrating here upcoming fight in the stadium - walked right through an underage hurling game which was taking place during the break.

On X, fans couldn't believe their eyes at the sight of the bizarre mix up.

After the game, a delighted Micheál Donoghue praised his Galway side.

The manager said: "If we go back a couple of months it was our number one target, our number one aim to get back to an Leinster final and obviously win it.

"Coming into it, the build-up, I've probably never been involved in a game where we had so many injuries coming into it and you know in fairness to the lads, to a man they were absolutely brilliant today.

"I think when you come to a final ultimately you want the biggest performance and if we reflect back on last year (when they were beaten by Kilkenny) we were really disappointed that we didn't give the performance that we wanted to bring and I thought today we did.

"The team is in a fair transition. Because we hit a decent stride early in the league there was a lot of expectation where the lads were still learning their stripes if you like. Six lads got their first Leinster final today."
