Kilkenny and Dublin to renew Leinster minor hurling rivalry at Croke Park

The sides advanced from their respective semi-finals this afternoon.

KILKENNY AND DUBLIN will renew their Leinster minor hurling championship rivalry later this month after both counties booked their place in the 2018 decider this afternoon.

Defending provincial champions Kilkenny recorded a five-point win over Offaly in their semi-final clash earlier, while Dublin edged a thrilling contest with Wexford 1-22 to 3-13 at Innovate Wexford Park.

Kilkenny, meanwhile, are bidding to add another title to their record 57 crowns at this level, with the decider set for Croke Park on 30 June.
