Galway started the brighter and had a ten point lead at the break 0-6 to 2-10 but Kilkenny dug deep and rallied strongly just after half time pushing Galway all the way. It was a great test for the Kilkenny minors with bigger days soon to come.

Michael Kirwan claimed the U-16 Leinster title following in the footsteps of his father who also won the U-16 and adult Poc Fada's in the past. Jamie Harkin was 5th in the adult category, having won the U-16 category only two years ago. Well done to both on representing Kilkenny with distinction.
