Jubilant scenes as Offaly make the quarter-finals at the expense of their neighbours and old rivals Kilkenny!

A massive win for Dublin hurling, as they make the Leinster final. But it’s a much bigger loss for Kilkenny, who exit the championship, in an incredibly early ending to their summer.

61 Mins: Kilkenny have made a good fist of things in the second half. but on the hour mark they’re still trailing by five. A couple of bad long-range wides in a row have their frowards very frustrated. Hetherton pulls down a ball and feeds a ball off for another score. Dublin 1-23 Kilkenny 0-20
GOAL for Galway! Jason Rabbitte finds the net to make it a draw game. Wexford 3-17 Galway 1-23

48 Mins: Ronan Hayes and Cian O’Sullivan land brilliant points to keep Dublin in front during a spell of Kilkenny dominance. Then Brian Hayes should really have had a goal, but his effort trails wide after a great run. Dublin 0-20 Kilkenny 0-17
Galway continue to reel back in Wexford in Wexford Park. 40 Mins: Wexford 3-13 Galway 0-18
Conor O’Carroll nails a two-point-free, but Seánie O’Donnell responds well for the visitors. 41 Mins: Roscommon 1-12 Tyrone 2-13
44 Mins: Nearly a goal chance for Tom Phelan, but in the end Eoin Cody does well to salvage things and find TJ Reid for a point. Cody hits another point, and Dónal Burke gets a great solo point for Dublin. Dublin 0-18 Kilkenny 0-16
GOAL for Offaly! Brian Duignan finds the net after a mistake from the Kildare defence. Kildare 0-10 Offaly 1-15
Offaly should have a clear run at this one, with Kildare’s Cathal McCabe shown a red card for an off the ball incident. 42 Mins: Kildare 0-10 Offaly 0-15
38 Mins: Mossy Keoghan hits a point to put the gap at three. Ronan Hayes is on for Dublin. Dublin 0-16 Kilkenny 0-13
Seán Moran gives us his reaction to the first half, as the second begins:
“A big crowd in Parnell Park on a summer’s day have watched Dublin avail of a slight wind to lead Kilkenny by four at half-time, 0-15 to 0-11. The home side are worth the margin but may regret 11 wides, several of which should have been converted. Late replacement John Hetherton caused early havoc winning his signature high ball and converting for two points after Kilkenny had started well.
Defence however is where Dublin have delivered most impressively given the absence from the team of late withdrawals, Eoghan O’Donnell and Liam Rushe. Paddy Smyth has played well on TJ Reid and in general, the team are well competitive on breaking ball and rucks.
A couple of goal chances came to nothing as Reid was forced into taking a point after the ball spilled loose and Eddie Gibbons saved from Harry Shine at the expense of a converted 65.
Dónal Burke’s frees have been nearly flawless – one wide – and Brian Hayes’s pace has troubled Kilkenny. With the news from Wexford potentially shaking up things, there is the prospect of these two teams qualifying for the Leinster final should Kilkenny win and Galway lose.”
So the Joe McDonagh Cup final will be contested between local rivals Laois and Carlow. Meanwhile, the Waterford footballers are out of the championship after their loss to Sligo in the Tailteann Cup Round 2B.

Plenty of time to go in both matches, but as things stand Kilkenny would go out.
Diarmuid Murtagh lands a massive two-pointer for Roscommon before half-time. 32 Mins: Roscommon 1-9 Tyrone 2-9
32 Mins: Cian Kenny looks to settle Kilkenny with a score, but Hetherton responds just seconds later with a great point of his own over his shoulder. TJ Reid misses a central free. John Donnelly is on for Liam Moore, reflecting Dublin’s aerial and physical dominance. Dublin 0-15 Kilkenny 0-9
Offaly will be delighted with the way things are going in Parnell Park, and they’re taking care of business at the minute themselves. 30 Mins: Kildare 0-7 Offaly 0-12
29 Mins: Dublin have been winning a lot of the physical contests, getting great blocks on Kilkenny’s strikes. Dónal Burke’s free puts them five in front. Dublin 0-13 Kilkenny 0-8
GOAL for Tyrone! Eoin McElholm decides not to play it safe, taking a safe point chance and taking on a difficult finish into the bottom corner with his left. Great goal.

17 Mins: Eddie Gibbons takes a high ball down in front of his goal, but it’s nicked away from him by TJ Reid, who slaps it over the bar. Kilkenny back in front. Dublin 0-6 Kilkenny 0-7

52 Mins: Fermanagh 1-15 Wexford 2-9
Daire Cregg and Dylan Ruane knock over points for Roscommon, while Ciarán Daly adds one for the visitors. 13 Mins: Roscommon 1-3 Tyrone 0-5
13 Mins: Conor Donohoe edges the capital side in front and then Brian Hayes is sure he’s doubled their lead, but the umpires call a wide. Dónal Burke chips over a free anyways, so it’s a two-point game. Dublin 0-6 Kilkenny 0-4
Offaly have the ball in the net, but there’s a harsh free called for fouling the ‘keeper. 12 Mins: Kildare 0-4 Offaly 0-4
Daniel Bourke lifts and strikes well to level matter in St Conleths Park. 10 Mins: Kildare 0-4 Offaly 0-4

6 Mins: A second point for Hetherton, and Dublin then turn over Eoin Cody, lifting the crowd massively. They earn a simple free down the far end, and it’s a level game. Dublin 0-3 Kilkenny 0-3
The home side have made a quick start at St Conleth’s Park, with Jack Sheridan nailing an early long-range free. 3 Mins: Kildare 0-2 Offaly 0-0
2 Mins: David Blanchfield gets the first score of the game. Dublin go long with their next attack and the ball nearly bobbles into the net off Hetherton. Meanwhile, Mossy Keoghan knocks over a point, but Hetherton responds. Dublin 0-1 Kilkenny 0-2
Seán Moran is in Parnell Park for throw-in:
“Dublin’s hopes of registering a first win over Kilkenny since 2013 have not been helped by the news that Liam Rushe and Eoghan O’Donnell have been withdrawn from the team. Seán Gallagher comes in for O’Donnell and the returned Rushe whose performances have solidified the defence, is replaced by John Bellew. One other change sees John Hetherton whose aerial dominance helped to swing the match against Galway is included with Conor Groarke dropping to the bench.”
Oh, apparently Liam Rushe will now not start the Leinster hurling clash between Dublin and Kilkenny. That could have a bad knock-on effect for the Dubs. John Bellew is in.
Kilkenny line out as named during the week for their clash with Dublin.
Manager Derek Lyng & his selectors have named the Kilkenny panel to take on Dublin in the final round of the Leinster SHC.

The Dublin hurlers have a big challenge on their hands today at Parnell Park. While they have booked their place in the next stages of the championship, a win today would see them enter the Leinster final as table-toppers, and could also dump out Kilkenny. However, for Nicky English, these are the stages where they usually do not deliver. Can Niall Ó Ceallacháin bring his men over the line after their big win in Galway?
[Nicky English: Dublin hurlers are nicely poised, but can you trust them?]
The main game in football today is the All-Ireland first round clash between the newly crowned Connacht champions, Roscommon, and Tyrone. Despite the Ulster side’s poor form so far in 2026, they’ll be hoping to cause an upset away from home and join yesterday’s winners Donegal, Cork and Galway in Round 2A. That one throws in at 2pm.

Probably the biggest game of the day sees Kilkenny take on Leinster leaders Dublin, knowing a loss would likely mean the end of their 2026 championship. Denis Walsh says the Cats’ once-imperious identity is on the line today.
[Kilkenny find themselves fighting for their lives, and their identity]
There’s also two early starts in the Tailteann Cup:
13 Mins: Waterford 0-5 Sligo 0-6
12 Mins: Fermanagh 0-6 Wexford 0-2
Plenty of quick scores in the early throw-ins in the Joe McDonagh Cup.

13 Mins: Antrim 0-6 Carlow 0-2
11 Mins: Down 0-4 Westmeath 0-3
Hello and welcome to live coverage of today’s championship action across the country. The provincial round-robins come to a close in hurling, with Kilkenny and Offaly’s faiths hanging in the balance in Leinster. Kilkenny travel to Parnell Park to play Dublin, with the capital’s side leading the table, while Offaly are away in Kildare. The Cats need a result, while the Faithful County will be hoping for a Dublin victory to leapfrog their neighbours (both 2pm).
Meanwhile, down in Munster, all that’s left to decide is the finalists, as Tipperary and Waterford have already fallen away. Cork and Clare face off, both seeking a spot in the Munster final, while Tipp could foil Limerick’s plans to regain the Mick Mackey Cup (both 4pm).
Then in football, round one continues, with Tyrone travelling to Connacht champions Roscommon (2pm). There’s also three fixtures in the Tailteann Cup as rounds 2A and 2B continue. Follow along for updates on all these games, and the rest.
