Cork can master Cats if scoring ace Power is kept in check

KILKENNY include six of last year’s winning team for tomorrow’s All-Ireland MHC semi-final against Cork in Croke Park (1.45pm throw-in).

That link, coupled with the number of players who were part of St Kieran’s handsome win in the All-Ireland Colleges final, is a significant boost according to selector Joe Pike.

“However, you can never tell with minors,” he adds. “When you reach this stage it’s all about winning and getting to the final. It’s a huge occasion for young lads who can often freeze on the day and let you down with a bang. Hopefully, the experience picked up over the last 12 months will stand to them.
