Shamrocks manager Henry Shefflin has admitted they will have to make "massive improvements" when they play St Martin's in the AIB Leinster Club Hurling Final in Croke Park this evening (Saturday).

The Kilkenny county champions showed great character to overcome Laois champions Clough-Ballacolla in an exciting UPMC Nowlan Park affair.

Shefflin's team grabbed the last three points via Darragh Corcoran, Eoin Cody and TJ Reid to turn the tide in their favour - READ MORE HERE.

Speaking after the Leinster Semi-Final, Shefflin said: "If we perform like we did today we won't beat them (St Martin's). When you think of serial winners (from across the country), they're very difficult opposition so to be honest I'm just delighted that we're there and we can plan ahead but we do know we have massive improvements to make if we are going to win the Leinster final," he continued.
