Thomastown (Kilkenny) 3-14 Kildorrery (Cork) 1-13

ANY belief that Kilkenny might be about to surrender the bragging rights at under-age level in Leinster to Dublin was emphatically dispelled 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.

SLICK Kilkenny demolished Offaly by 12 points in yesterday’s ESB Leinster MHC semi-final at O’Connor Park, Tullamore. The ‘Cats’, managed by Richie Mulrooney, face Dublin in the final next Sunday at Croke Park.

INDIA’S determined batting line-up prevented England claiming a fourth successive Test win and spared them the embarrassment of narrowly missing out on victory because of their reluctance to play on two nights earlier.
