Westmeath are through to another Kehoe Cup hurling final, while Kilkenny, Antrim and Carlow were winners in yesterday's Walsh Cup Shield games.

Former Offaly star Kevin Martin is just 70 minutes away from winning his first piece of silverware with Westmeath after the Lake County ran out easy 2-26 to 1-11 winners over Carlow IT at Kinnegad. They will face Kildare in next weekend's final.

In the Walsh Cup Shield, GMIT were on the receiving end of an almighty backlash from All-Ireland champions Kilkenny. Beaten by Offaly last weekend, the Cats bounced back by hammering the students on an 8-20 to 0-6 scoreline.

Dinny Cahill's Antrim edged out NUIG by 2-23 to 4-15, while Christy Ring Cup champions Carlow were 2-14 to 0-11 winners over UCD. Tweet
