It's been nip and tuck throughout an intriguing, high-quality Leinster championship and we're now down to the final pairing; Dublin and Kilkenny face off in the provincial decider on Sunday. 

Where and when is it on?

The Leinster showpiece has the Saturday evening slot this year; throw in is at 6pm on Saturday at Croke Park.

It's an old school TV broadcast with RTÉ showing the game; coverage starts at 5.30 - though the Joe McDonagh Cup final between Offaly and Laois will be broadcast beforehand. The Leinster decider is also being streamed on the RTÉ Player.

Who's the referee? 

Thomas Walsh will take charge of the game.

Who's likely to come out on top? 

Will the Cats get the cream once more? Kilkenny are favourites at 1/3 with the Dubs 3/1.
