Old faithfuls ease Young Irelands to another final

Young Irelands 1-18 Tullaroan 1-9

DJ has been the main man for the Gowran side in this championship run and yesterday he again led by example - foraging, providing and winning the frees with Tullaroan full-back Ken Coogan in trouble throughout.

It was Carter, however, who really caught the eye. Six points from play in any company is good going; six points against a tough-tackling Tullaroan defence in a Kilkenny SHC semi-final, all under pressure, is pure class.
