Wednesday 16th April – U19 Hurling Development League Cup Final
In its second year, the U19 Hurling Development League came to a conclusion last Wednesday evening when Kilkenny welcomed Dublin to UPMC Nowlan Park for the Cup Final, a repeat of last year’s final. In an exciting game which was live-streamed on our Kilkenny Cats App and where the sides were evenly matched, Kilkenny came out two point winners on a 1-24 to 3-16 scoreline. Well done to the panel, manager Matthew Ruth and his backroom team. The match can be watched back on the Kilkenny Cats App.
