Cats escape Dublin’s grasp

Dublin 0-17 Kilkenny 1-14

Seconds from slaying Kilkenny, they were deprived of it by a TJ Reid injury-time equaliser a moment after Joey Boland had put the Dubs ahead for the first time since the 41st minute.

Dublin, though, accomplished a few things. A year to the day after they fell flat on their faces having been convinced they would beat Kilkenny, yesterday was about pride restored.
