Kilkenny continued their impressive early-season form with a nine-point win in sunny Walsh Park yesterday but not before getting a stern early examination from the injury-hit home side.

Kilkenny have made four changes in personnel from the team which beat Tipperary in the league first round with keeper Eoin Murphy making his league debut in place of David Herity, while Conor Fogarty, Richie Doyle and Richie Hogan all come into the side.

The GAA have declined to comment on Tommy Lyons’ allegation that he was asked to name his price in an interview for the Mayo job.

A youthful Galway were given a lesson yesterday as Kilkenny swept them aside to claim the Walsh Cup at Pearse Stadium.

FORMER GAA President Joe McDonagh will chair a committee of former Fitzgibbon Cup players and managers that will select a ‘Team Of The Century’ from a shortlist of 75 third-level hurling stars, as part of the competition’s centenary celebrations this year.
