John Walsh bagged 2-5 from play, as Kilkenny claimed their 21st Electric Ireland All Ireland Minor Hurling title at Croke Park this afternoon.

Three Co Galway hurlers have secured a High Court injunction preventing the county's GAA authorities from taking disciplinary action against them arising out of an alleged assault on a referee.
