Dublin win Walsh Cup, Wicklow make Kehoe Cup final

Dublin have won this year's Walsh Cup with a dramatic victory over All-Ireland champions Kilkenny. Dublin led by a goal at half-time (1-06 to 0-06) but Kilkenny managed to level matters with just seconds on the clock before subsitute Johnny McGuirk scored the winning point that earned the Dubs a 2-11 to 2-10 victory at Parnell Park.

Meanwhile, Kildare have made it through to the final of this year's Kehoe Cup after a 3-17 2-03 win over Louth at the Gaelic Grounds in Drogheda. It proved all too easy for Kildare as they led 2-09 to 0-02 at half-time.

Their goalscorers were Colm Buggy, Sean O'Carroll and Darragh Nolan. Aidan Callan scored both Louth goals.

They now meet Wicklow in the final after they overcame Carlow 1-14 0-15. Wickow have their sights set on their third title in a row and were impressive against Carlow this afternoon when Jonathon O'Neill scored three points for Wicklow in the last seven minutes of the game to ensure victory after the sides were level on several occasions throughout.
