John Lockes (Callan) v Danesfort

Round 1

Kilkenny cruised to their fourth Leinster title in a row with a comprehensive win over Wexford in Nowlan Park on Wednesday evening.

The dream of a first ever national title for John Lockes was shattered by an excellent Meelin (Cork) side on Sunday last in Croke Park. The scoreline of 0-12 to 1-5 gives credence to the fact that defences were on top and scores were hard to come by.

John Lockes (Kilkenny) 2-14

Kilkenny junior hurling champions John Lockes qualified for the Leinster Junior hurling final by virtue of a hard earned one point win over Adamstown in Tadghmon on Sunday last.

John Lockes of Callan ensured their return to the Intermediate grade next year by winning the JJ Kavanagh & Sons Kilkenny Junior hurling title when they defeated Barrow Rangers by 1-14 to 0-14 in Nowlan Park on Monday last. Looking stronger than they had the previous week the Callanmen came into the replay with great confidence and balance. They enjoyed the advantage of an early goal scored by corner forward Shane Bergin but by half time Barrow Rangers had fought back to level terms 0-7 to 1-4.

This year’s Junior final was an epic struggle between the two finalists John Lockes and the Blacks and Whites, which saw the Blacks and Whites triumph over the Callan team.
