Now it’s down to the real business.

In truth it was not the most memorable contest as Kilkenny got the job done easing to an unconvincing victory over a very weak Dublin challenge at a rain and windswept Thomastown last Saturday afternoon. Severe showers preceded the game but thankfully the rain stayed away throughout. Kilkenny, playing into a strong first-half breeze, made a whirlwind blitzing start, and Dublin appeared to have a long afternoon ahead of them as Kilkenny led 2-0 to 0-1 after just six minutes.

Following Kilkenny’s comprehensive victories over both Offaly and Dublin, the matches keep coming thick and fast. However, they certainly do not come tougher than defending All-Ireland senior champions and National League champions Wexford in Wexford Park on Saturday at 5pm.

There was disappointment for the Kilkenny senior camogie girls as they were caught by a late Galway flurry in Nowlan Park last Sunday as their league hopes were ended. Kilkenny led by four points at the interval —1-6 to 0-5 and a 45th minute goal from Shelley Farrell followed by a close range free by Aoife Neary restored that four point gap.

Nowlan Park is the setting next Sunday afternoon, when the Irish Daily Star National Camogie league semi-finals take place. Kilkenny are first in the arena at 2pm against Galway, followed at 3.45pm by Tipperary’s clash with defending League/All-Ireland champions Wexford.

A memorable weekend for Kilkenny was rounded off in Tom Ryall Park, Kilmanagh last Sunday afternoon as Kilkenny seniors and intermediates completed a superb weekend for camogie in the county.

It was a memorable day for South Kilkenny as Mooncoin, Rower-Inistigoe and Mullinavat all landed league honours. Firstly, a double header of league finals took place in well represented Ballyhale as the St Canice’s Credit Union Junior B and intermediate league finals were down for decision.

It was all one way traffic as expected as Kilkenny easily negotiated their semi-final passage with a landslide 32-point drubbing of the Dubs at a wet and miserable Nowlan Park last Saturday.
