Kilkenny were overwhelmed by Leitrim in Carrick-on-Shannon as the bottom division’s whipping boys took another hammering.

TWO late goals gave James Stephens a flattering victory margin in yesterday’s Kilkenny SHC semi-final, the city club ending with a nine-point win over St. Martin’s after an entertaining battle which could have gone either way until Eoin Larkin’s crucial 57th-minute strike.
