Kilkenny Hammer Dubs

A Look At All The Action From The Walsh Cup

All-Ireland champions Kilkenny hammered Anthony Daly's Dublin by 6-12 to 0-12 in the Walsh Cup quarter-final clash at Parnell Park on Sunday.

Brian Cody's men scored five of their goals after the break at the venue on Dublin's north side as Anthony Daly's first competitive game in charge of the Dubs ended in a hiding.

The goals proved the difference and Kilkenny, who led 1-7 to 0-7 after the break, had five different goalscorers as Richie Hogan helped himself to a double.

Michael Grace, Aidan Fogarty, Michael Rice and Patrick Hogan also banged in goals for the Cats, while Alan McCrabbe was Dublin's top scorer with 0-8.

Elsewhere, Galway's first venture into Leinster fare ended in a 1-17 to 2-10 win over Offaly.

The Tribesmen booked their place in the semi-finals after attacking the Faithful County from the off in Tullamore, Aongus Callanan getting the show on the road with a goal after eight minutes.

Galway manager John McIntyre has twice managed Offaly in the past but there was no sentimentality as he won his first competitive game at the helm in the historic clash at O'Connor Park, having seen his side lead 1-10 to 1-3 at half-time.

Joe Bergin and Shane Dooley hit the Offaly goals but Galway just had too much for their hosts on the day.

At Rathdowney, Antrim accounted for Laois on a scoreline of 1-13 to 0-14.

The O'Moore men had led at half-time as John Rowney and Brian Campion hit three points each to see Antrim 0-9 to 0-7 in arrears as they headed for the dressing room.

However, a goal from Brendan Herron turned the tide and the placed ball prowess of Paul Shields, who hit 0-7, saw the defending champions through.

Wexford were also victorious as they beat UCD 0-20 to 1-15 in Ferris.

The Model men were 0-12 to 0-4 ahead at the break, but UCD hit back and hit a goal courtesy of Kilkenny man David Lyng.

His namesake Diarmuid was Wexford's top man with 0-5 and his side had the nous to see out the win late on.

In the Kehoe Cup, there were wins for Carlow, DIT, DCU and Westmeath.

Those sides made the semi-finals, with Carlow easing past Roscommon by 1-15 to 0-8.

There was a cracking game in Down, where the hosts were beaten 3-18 to 3-13 by DIT, while the hurlers of DCU marched into the last four as they beat Fingal by 0-15 to 1-6. Westmeath thumped Wicklow by 4-21 to 1-5.

Finally, in the Kehoe Shield, Kildare were 1-12 to 0-12 winners over Meath in Navan.
