Oulart’s big chance to win first Leinster title

SO, a Leinster Club hurling final with none of the usual suspects.

No Ballyhale Shamrocks and no Birr. Coolderry of Offaly and Wexford champs Oulart-the-Ballagh will take the field tomorrow in Nowlan Park with plenty of confidence.

Neither side have won a Leinster Club title, however, and consequently there’s little in the way of a form guide if the game’s tight with 10 minutes left. Neither can point to long odysseys of the road to St Patrick’s Day in Jones’ Road.
