Saturday
Dunderry provided the first shock of the Senior Hurling Championship with a one point win over Kilmessan at Pairc Tailteann. Nicky Horan’s men fought back to level the game in injury time but a point from Mark Leavy gave them their first win of the campaign. Kildalkey trailed Blackhall Gaels by one at the break but fought back to record a comfortable win. Trim move into pole position in Group B with win number 3. Three late points was enough for Donaghmore Ashbourne to get back on track in the IHC. Favourites Dunboyne make it 3 from 3.
