The Carlow Football Championship has reached Semi Final stages while Kilkenny are now in the knockout phases

Yesterday saw plenty of drama in the final round of the Michael Lyng Motors Hyundai Kilkenny Intermediate League

Not too many people would have saw MLR beating Tinryland before hand but they did just that at Netwatch Cullen Park

From 5 o clock onwards its full steam ahead in the final round of Michael Lyng Motors Hyundai Kilkenny Intermediate League

The Carlow Junior, Intermediate and Senior Football Quarter Finals are all down for decision this coming weekend

Carlow is well represented on the Leinster front with the Byrne brothers and Bernard Jackman is involved with the opposition

This was a game of genuine quality with both sides really having a go and in the end a spirited comeback saw the Champions earn a draw

Benekerry Tinryland have been the side to beat over the last two years and Old Leighlin are aiming to do just that this evening

Kilkenny are represented with Eoin Murphy, Padraig Walsh, Cillian Buckley, James Maher and sharpshooter TJ Reid

Kilkenny now know who they will face and where they will face them in the National Hurling League for the 2019 season
