Loughrea and Clarinbridge are back in action at the earlier time of 1.45pm this Sunday in Pearse Stadium in the keenly anticipated Cooper Senior County Hurling Championship final replay.

Tipperary 5-22

Kilkenny progressed to the second round of the Provincial Towns Cup with this win over Athy away last Sunday. The game was played on a heavy and greasy surface with the result in doubt right to the final whistle.

Kilkenny made it two-out-of-two on Sunday in the Leinster League when they defeated Ashbourne in Foulkstown. They needed to improve on the previous Sunday’s performance if they were to beat the visitors and this they duly did. A bigger level of commitment was the difference between the two teams and it was Kilkenny who had that little bit extra. It was still a very close game and the result was in doubt right to the very end. Kilkenny led 18 to 8 at half time and it appeared to be a comfortable lead but Ashbourne upped the pace in the second half and as the final whistle approached, the visitors looked as if they might snatch it. Kilkenny must be given credit for holding out and with the disadvantage of being a man down for much of the closing stages, it was all the more rewarding.

Kilkenny 13 Dundalk 18

It was a titantic struggle and a great advertisement for the game. The young hurlers of Galway and Clare slugged it out in the All-Ireland under-21 hurling semi-final at Semple Stadium until finally extra time saw Clare take the honours.

Never an easy place to travel to and get a result but that is just what Kilkenny did last Sunday in the Leinster League. They got their first win of the League in a hard fought game with both sides committed and showing plenty of respect for each other.
