Ciaran Slevin believes Kilcormac Killoughey can send Thurles Sarsfields packing.

The Offaly and Leinster champions will be outsiders when they square up to the Tipperary and Munster standard bearers in tomorrow's All-Ireland senior club hurling championship semi-final in Portlaoise but Slevin - winner of the AIB provincial club hurling award in Leinster - says they are in with a chance:

"We give ourselves a good chance the next day," the KK captain tells The Irish Sun. "We know if we give a 100% performance like we did in the Leinster final, it will take a good team to beat us.

"It's not that we think we're lucky to have got this far. We've worked hard this year - very hard.

"We won the county championship and that was our main goal but we said 'why not go further?'

"Then we got as far as the Leinster final and said 'Sure, why not got further?' So hopefully we'll go all the way to Paddy's Day." Tweet
