All-Ireland Club JHC Final: Mooncoin (Kilkenny) 0-22 Ballygiblin (Cork) 1-18 

Five years after losing to Mayfield by a single point, there was glorious redemption for Mooncoin as they claimed AIB All-Ireland junior club championship glory in Croke Park this afternoon. A first title too for the Kilkenny side after an exhilarating game of hurling played in traditional Cork/Kilkenny style. They had four survivors from 2017 who lined out - Eoin Purcell, Cormac Daly, John Fitzgerald and Kevin Crowley.
