Replying To old yellar:  "Carlow and Kildare played games in their respective centres of excellence in minor this year."
Not officially MHC games for the record. That was a qualifier competition.

Replying To Claretandblue:  "Bit rich coming from a county that ignores the country's most popular sport. What respect do ye pay to players and competitions in Gaelic?"
Football was a made up game for those who were not skilled enough to grace the hurling fields. It's such a poor game it required a total overhaul in rules. Call out the 20 plus counties who suppress our national sport. From reading this forum from time to time you seem to have all the answers

Its part of the same competition, not a separate one. Any of those teams could progress/win the competition. Check Leinster website - listed as Walter hanrahan cup.

Hurling flourishes where Cricket was previously strong. Kilkenny had loads of Cricket clubs before hurling was officially morphed into what it became under GAA rules
