Kilkenny And Galway Force Replay
Kilkenny and Galway will have to fight it out again next weekend in a Leinster Final replay, seventy minutes of hurling failed to seperate the sides today in Croke Park. Both teams gave very little away in the first half, Kilkenny headed for the dressing room a point ahead at half-time. On the restart Galway pushed on only for Kilkenny to claw their way back on the cusp of full-time to force a replay next weekend. Semple Stadium is the venue for next Sunday with a throw-in time of 3pm.

Kilkenny into Leinster Final
Kilkenny claimed a spot in the Leinster Final against a determined Wexford in Nowlan Park last night. Kilkenny started brightly in the first half but Wexford would have been by far the happier team at the break leading on a scoreline of 1-11 to 0-7. After the break Kilkenny's renewed urgency whittled the lead down to the bare minimum and with 13 minutes to go they drew level. From here a heart-stopping few minutes were to follow where it was tit for tat strikes but Kilkenny were to run out the eventual winner by a single point.
