Monaghan 0-15 Derry 1-08: Playing with 14 men for the final eight minutes of the first half and finishing with 13 players proved a bridge too far for Derry as Monaghan booked their place in the Ulster U21 semi final and with something to spare at Inniskeen last night.

The sun shone and the rain fell in intermittent waves but there was no sign of lightning striking twice in Portlaoise last night as Kilkenny made short work of an outclassed Laois side in this Bord Gáis Leinster U21 final.

Laois may have accounted for initial favourites Dublin in the first round, but very few outside their own camp are giving them any chance of overcoming Kilkenny.

Raging hot favourites Laois were given the fright of their hurling lives by neighbours Carlow in this exciting Leinster Under-21 championship semi-final at Dr Cullen Park last evening.

After the drubbing their seniors took on Sunday, Laois showed there is plenty of spirit left in the county with a wonderful win over Dublin in the Bord Gais Energy Leinster U21 HC quarter-final last night.

PAT GILROY wasn’t going to coat this victory with any varnish.
