Underdogs set for clash with Cats

This coming Sunday the TG4 Underdogs side, managed by former Offaly boss Pat Fleury, will take on the might of Kilkenny's senior hurlers on the hallowed turf of Nowlan Park (throw-in 1.45pm).

Since the trials process in June, the Underdogs have faced vigorous mental and physical training, military-style discipline and a ruthless elimination process.
