McCormack's injury-time point puts Stephens ahead

AIB All-Ireland Senior Club Football Final: HT:

Athenry (Galway) 0-09 James Stephens (Kilkenny) 0-10, Croke Park

An injury-time point from Eoin McCormack has given Leinster champions James Stephens a slender one-point lead in today's AIB All-Ireland Senior Club hurling final at Croke Park.

Level eight times in a sun-splashed issue, Kilkenny hurler of the year Eoin Larkin has hit the majority of the Village's scores - seven in all.

Eugene Cloonan, Michael John Quinn and Brian Hanley have been on target for the Tribesmen, with some strict refereeing from Tipperary whistle blower Seamus Roche making it stop-start viewing from the 30,000+ attendance at headquarters.
