Antrim progress with Walsh Cup win in Freshford 
Seeking their fourth successive Walsh Cup title Kilkenny saw a sharper and fitter Antrim side take the initiative with two first half goals from Liam Watson and Karl McKeegan go on to record a historic 2-15 to 1-17 win in well appointed Pairc Lachtain on Sunday afternoon. In a tense and exciting finish Kilkenny who had reduced the half time difference of seven points to two looked set to take the spoils before Ryan McGarry between the Antrim posts deflected a late goal 
chance over the end line. As the resultant sixty five was pointed it proved to be the games final score as referee Tony Carroll from Offally called time
