Cats aiming to continue on winning way

Kilkenny seem to have the knack of reaching - and more often than not - winning All-Ireland finals and today Galway try upset that trend in the Guinness SHC semi-final at Croke Park (3.30pm).

If the Tribesmen fail to repeat the searing second half performance which saw them heroically overtake Tipperary in their quarter-final clash, then it seems inevitable that Brian Cody's Cats will march on again.
