Shamrocks in seventh heaven

ANOTHER Leinster final, another trophy for Kilkenny.

Yes, it was business as usual at O’Connor Park yesterday with Ballyhale Shamrocks retaining their provincial title and setting up an All-Ireland semi-final with Newtownshandrum next year.

Tullamore fought the good fight but the Shamrocks could afford to hit 15 wides, drop a few other efforts short and still win by eight points, which is a fair reflection of the gap between the sides.
