Clinical Cats cruise to semis

Galway 0-10 Kilkenny 1-16

Dominating the last 20 minutes, Kilkenny cruised to a semi-final place in the Allianz NHL on April 23, while defeat consigns Galway to 11 weeks of inactivity before they line out in their first championship outing.

The Kilkenny manager Brian Cody was more pleased to report continuing progress than the actual fact of finishing on top of the group (after scoring their only goal of the campaign).
