Galway going all out to halt purring Cats

KILKENNY will have an opportunity to further widen their domination of all things hurling when they take on Galway in Sunday’s Erin All-Ireland U-21 final in Thurles.

With the senior and minor titles secured last weekend, victory over the Tribesmen would give the county three of the game's top honours and perhaps deepen concerns that every other county is too far behind Kilkenny at the moment.

Given he is leading a team towards such a monumental achievement, you expect Martin Fogarty, the Kilkenny manager, to be showing some signs of pressure. But there was none exhibited in the Shelbourne Hotel yesterday.
