Jason Forde hit 1-5 as Tipperary manager Michael Ryan celebrated his first competitive game in charge with a big Allianz Hurling League Division 1A victory over Dublin this evening.

Laois 1-9 Dublin 2-20: Dublin advanced to the Walsh Cup semi-finals as they easily accounted for Laois in O’Moore Park yesterday.

Galway 50 Dublin 47: A second quarter flashpoint enlivened the AIG Fenway Hurling Classic between Dublin and Galway in Boston, the sin bin filling up after a major skirmish in front of the Dublin goal.

Dublin face an uncertain summer after Cathal Mannion's hat-trick of goals in the first 11 minutes effectively sealed this Leinster quarter-final replay.

In the end, it seemed fair that this pair should get a second chance to redeem themselves after a disappointing showing.

Dublin edged out Tipp in an entertaining senior hurling challenge last night. 

A lucky 14-man Clare somehow escaped Cusack Park with the win, largely thanks to goals from John Conlon and Tony Kelly.

Wexford 1-20 Dublin 0-18

Dublin 2-08 Westmeath 0-13

Wexford 1-14 Dublin 1-15

Dublin 7-13 Dubs Stars 0-8

A VERITABLE goal-fest of an All-Ireland minor semi-final but a game won with consummate ease by Dublin who now face Galway in next month’s final, their first in 28 years.

IRRESPECTIVE of the outcome of tomorrow’s All-Ireland MHC semi-final in Croke Park, it will be a novel experience for the winners to have qualified for an All-Ireland decider. Waterford last reached the final in 1992, while Dublin’s wait stretches back to 1983.

WINNING silverware is rarely straightforward and Dublin can certainly attest to that after dragging themselves over the winning line to claim a 13th Leinster MHC title at Croke Park yesterday.

DUBLIN have the perfect opportunity for revenge presented to them when they face off against Kilkenny in tomorrow afternoon’s ESB Leinster MHC final in Croke Park at 2pm.
