Jack O’Connor helped to take down one Kilkenny dynasty last weekend. On Friday, however, he’ll formally embrace another when he marries partner Grace Walsh from the famed Tullaroan family that has given so much for more than two decades to hurling and camogie in the county.

O’Connor’s six points were pivotal to denying Ballyhale Shamrocks a 13th Leinster title as St Martin’s landed a first with a dramatic late winner.
