Familiar story as five-star Cats trounce Tribesmen

THE theme of demolition jobs by Kilkenny hurling sides began early in Croke Park yesterday afternoon.

The county’s minors obliterated the challenge from the west in the ESB All-Ireland MHC semi-final and were full value for the 19 points they had to spare over a beleaguered Galway outfit.

This was an awesome performance by Kilkenny as they maintained the strong form that carried them through Leinster and ensured that their victory margins this season have all been in double digits.
