it’s set to be a fantastic day of sport in UPMC Nowlan Park on Saturday afternoon, with the O’Neill’s.com All-Ireland Under-20 Hurling Final between Kilkenny and Tipperary taking centre stage. The final venue came about as a result of a home and away arrangement between the two counties, and as luck would have it, the ball has bounced in Kilkenny’s favour for a replica of the All-Ireland Minor Final from last year.

Kilkenny fought off difficult conditions to defeat Galway in some style during Saturday's Leinster Minor Hurling decider in Portlaoise. Three late goals from Cian Byrne, Ollie O'Donovan and Diarmuid Behan put some gloss on the final scoreline but Kilkenny were still very deserved winners as they advance to the All-Ireland semi-finals. The incessant wind and rain made it very difficult for the players and a sure sign of this was the fact the scoreline read 0-1 apeice halfway through the first half.
