This Sunday in Parnell Park the Galway hurlers will face Dublin in a crucial tie which could decide the 2011 league finalists.

The Cats returned to winning ways in the Allianz National Hurling League after they defeated Dublin by four points in their game played in Parnell Park over the weekend. Richie Power scored 2-07 before going off injured, but his scores proved to be the difference at the end of a high scoring game.

Following their narrow 1-22 to 2-16 win over Offaly at O’Connor Park last weekend, the Galway hurlers take on Dublin in the Walsh Cup final this Sunday at Parnell Park in Dublin (12.45pm).

Kilkenny senior hurlers got the year off to the best possible start last Sunday when they had way too much fire power for a poor Dublin outfit in a bitterly cold Parnell Park. The combination of experienced backs and enthusiastic forwards gave new Dublin manager Anthony Daly a bad start to his stint in charge of the metropolitan side.

Over 30,000 spectators looked on as Kilkenny received their second test of the season from Dublin before they ran out 2-18 to 0-18 winners of the Leinster hurling final.

Kilkenny's winning margin against Wexford in the last two finals was an average of 17 points. A landslide victory I think is what you could call them. So with just two goals between the teams last Sunday it could be considered something of a close shave, but in truth despite the game effort from the Dubs the Cats were never going to lose this one.
