Limerick were the defending champions, however, they were defeated in their quest for a record-equalling fourth successive All-Ireland title by Cork in the Munster semi-final.
On 21 September 2003, Kilkenny won the championship following a 2-13 to 0-12 defeat of Galway in the All-Ireland final.[1] This was their 8th All-Ireland title in the under-21 grade and their first in four championship seasons.

gollark: I'm not really sure what to do about this or if it's much of a problem, but the sentence structure seems kind of simplistic.
gollark: Sure? I'm also not sure about `of the less fortunate`, that's weird grammar.

gollark: Not all of them support that, and probably not all devices do.
