Cats have edge despite Dubs improvement

DUBLIN have the perfect opportunity for revenge presented to them when they face off against Kilkenny in tomorrow afternoon’s ESB Leinster MHC final in Croke Park at 2pm.

Dublin were emphatically defeated by Kilkenny in the earlier rounds of this competition in May by a 2-13 to 0-9 margin in Nowlan Park, but have recovered well since then.

They defeated Carlow in a tight battle by 0-22 to 2-14 and then in last weekend’s semi-final tie against Wexford, recovered from a late four-point deficit to narrowly triumph by 1-16 to 1-15.
