It was a case of so near but yet so far for Kilkenny’s team at the Kennedy Cup who fell agonisingly short to beating Galway in the quarter-finals.
Having played out a scoreless draw, the local side lost in a penalty shootout to the Westerners on Thursday.
Kilkenny had been fine form in the competition up to that stage, scoring seven goals and conceding just one in four matches.
As a result of the Galway defeat, Kilkenny entered the Plate competition where they were beaten by West Belfast.
Kilkenny will play their last game against West Cork today (Friday) for a 7th/8th place finish.
