Fans line out for historic clash of the ash

WILL the Cats lap it up once again or have the Reds got what it takes to curdle their cream?

That’s what hurling fans will be contemplating as they make their way by road, rail and air to Dublin for the clash of the ash in the All-Ireland final between Cork and Kilkenny in Croke Park tomorrow.

The Cats may have used up one of their nine lives following their defeat to Wexford in the Leinster final but coming up against the Rebels might make them see red as Cork set out to avenge last year’s defeat by spoiling Kilkenny’s dreams of a three-in-a-row.
