Conor Delaney insists Kilkenny will be taking nothing for granted in today's Ireland U21HC semi-final against Derry.

The midfielder, who is one of nine survivors from the Kilkenny team that suffered a sensational Leinster first round defeat to Westmeath last year, told the Irish Examiner: "We've done a small bit of analysis on them. They actually came through Ulster comfortably enough, had two very good wins over Antrim and Down.

"Their seniors went pretty well during the year as well. They won the Nicky Rackard Cup so I don't think it was much of a surprise coming from their direction anyway. It's something we won't be taking lightly anyway."
