LIMERICK IT 1-20

UCC 1-8, UCD 1-5: If UCC go on to win the 2017 Fitzgibbon Cup, they may return to this game as a reference point.

Dublin 2-26 UCD 0-21: Holders Dublin completed their second successive Walsh Cup win, beating UCD at Parnell Park last night. 

Offaly 1-10 Dublin 2-15: Seán Treacy showed he could be a star of the future with a brilliant display as Dublin secured the Leinster title at O’Connor Park last night.

Galway 2-19 Offaly 2-9: It was a day when Galway did all that was required of them and not a lot more to advance to a Leinster final meeting with Kilkenny in a repeat of last year’s All-Ireland decider.

Westmeath 2-22 Offaly 1-11: Offaly manager Eamonn Kelly shouldered the blame for “one of the low points” of his time in hurling as Westmeath romped to a deserved 14-point Leinster championship win over his side at Cusack Park in Mullingar.

Clare 2-21 Offaly 0-15: Davy Fitzgerald’s Bannermen, similar to the under-construction main stand which provided an appropriate backdrop to this Division 1B contest, are very much a work in progress.

Offaly 1-12 Wexford 2-16: Wexford will get the chance to gain some modicum of revenge for their heavy senior defeat to Kilkenny last weekend after their under-21 hurlers easily disposed of Offaly at O’Connor Park and set up a final clash with the Cats in a fortnight’s time.

Limerick GAA chiefs revealed they took the county senior hurling management to task following a below-par performance in Division 1B of the Allianz Hurling League.

Kilkenny 3-16 NUI Galway 2-12

IT was his 14th All-Ireland final but rarely has Kilkenny legend Michael Kavanagh performed as well in Croke Park as he did on Saturday evening and rarely has he felt as much satisfaction afterwards.
