Shannonsiders look to have the balance right

April 27, Nowlan Park.

Round 1 of the Leinster MHC. Dublin 2-8, Kilkenny 0-3.

Had you detoured into the local bookmakers on your way home from the Marble City that afternoon, you’d have got fair odds on Kilkenny extending their lead at the head of the All-Ireland roll of honour four months down the line.
