Photograph: Tom Maher/InphoClann Éireann beat champions Crossmaglen in the semi-final, as they did in the 2021 final when winning their most recent title. That recent pedigree makes them favourites with Armagh All-Ireland winners spread through the field from Barry McCambridge at the back to Conor Turbitt up front.
Precedent is against Tinahely, who lost their more recent final to this weekend’s opponents four years ago and were also beaten when the teams met earlier in this season’s championship.Dublin Marathon 2024: Everything you need to know including start times, route map and new starting lineA rerun of the 2021 final, comfortably won by Éire Óg. Kilmurry have arguably improved but their Ennis opponents have lost just once in the meantime, having won two of the last three titles.
Two dominant semi-final wins gave Kilkenny a novel pairing in the final. The champions cruised against Bennettsbridge despite missing captain Mark Bergin and All Star Mikey Butler through suspension. Thomastown have risen like a flare from winning intermediate last season, including the All-Ireland, and now reaching a final for the first time in 36 years, chasing a first title since 1946. They overwhelmed Mullinavat in the semi-final, sparked by John and Stephen Donnelly.
