Action has been ongoing in the Kennedy Cup throughout the week at the University of Limerick
The 2026 Kennedy Cup has reached a conclusion with an 8th place finish for Kilkenny.
The local side fell agonisingly short to beating eventual winners Galway in the quarter-finals, losing in a penalty shootout on Thursday.
As a result of the Galway defeat, Kilkenny entered the Plate competition where they were beaten by West Belfast and West Cork in their final two games of the competition.
“This group should be immensely proud of what they have achieved,” a spokesperson for the Kilkenny & District League said.
