LEINSTER SHC SEMI- FINALS
DUBLIN are in action for the third successive weekend, something that has more often than not led to a dip p in performance for teams in the round robin system. Their best form against Kilkenny for a more e sustained period would see them through here but that’s not realistic. Cork should find enough improvement.
NOT the homecoming that Eddie Brennan ( inset) had in mind, with the Laois boss originally supposed to take his team to play Kilkenny at this venue during the summer.
For a multitude of reasons, the momentum of 2019 appears all but gone for Laois. Clare don’t look like they’ll last deep into this Championship, but they’ll get another week out of it.
