Antrim started their year in great style by springing a surprise and beating Kilkenny in the Walsh cup. The Cats were only just back from holidays and these early season competitions will always throw up unusual results but it’s still always good to see one of the middle tier teams like Antrim beat one of the powerhouses like Kilkenny.

Elsewhere Davy Fitzgerald’s LIT showed their strength by pushing Waterford right to the wire in the semi final of the Waterford Crystal tournament. They’ll surely be favourites to lift the Fitzgibbon again this year. Saw a small bit of it on TG4 and the most bizaare thing I saw was Eoin Kelly having lost his hurl attempt some karate style studs first high kick tackle on one of the LIT guys. He was lucky he didn’t get a red card for it. Waterford will need him to keep his head screwed on straight if they want to go all the way this year.
