Ahane 0-11 Na Piarsaigh 0-10

As they face into the unknown this Saturday, an All-Ireland semi-final in Parnell Park against the experienced Loughgiel Shamrocks of Antrim and Ulster, if the young hurlers of Na Piarsaigh need inspiration they don’t have to look very far.

Seán Óg Ó hAilpín in full flight. The NaPiarsaigh man is Diarmuid O’Flynn’s choice for hurler-of-the-year.
