ST KIERAN’S COLLEGE CLINCHED another Leinster Colleges Senior ‘A’ Hurling title in emphatic fashion on Wednesday with a 22-point win over neighbours Kilkenny CBS, 2-21 to 0-5.

Sean Hunt and Aaron McEvoy bagged a goal apiece in the first half as Kieran’s raced into a comfortable 2-8 to 0-3 lead at the break in Nowlan Park.

The reigning All-Ireland champions never relented as they further extended their margin after the restart, winning the second period by 0-13 to 0-2, and can now turn their attention to the semi-finals and the pursuit of a remarkable 25th Croke Cup.

Eoin Cody’s first-half goal had Carlow ahead by the minimum at half time, 1-9 to 0-11, but Waterford started the second half the brighter and had edged in front, 0-16 to 1-11, before Patrick Fitzgerald’s strike in the 47th minute tilted the game in their favour.
