WESTMEATH’S CASTLETOWN-GEOGHEGAN have caused a major upset in the Leinster SHC club championship by sensationally Kilkenny champions Thomastown out of the competition.
Castletown booked their place in the Leinster semi-finals with an 11-point win at Cusack Park, defeating the side who won the Kilkenny senior championship this year after winning the All-Ireland intermediate title last season. They also accounted for Kilkenny kingpins Ballyhale Shamrocks on their way to county glory.
But Castletown were comprehensive winners today storming to a 1-25 to 1-14 win, with Niall O’Brien providing the goal at the start of the second half.
They will face either Kilcormac Killoughey of Offaly or Wexford side St Mullins in the semi-final.
