Results

Leinster Senior Hurling Championship

----------------The Leinster Council declare the Leinster final void after the game started twenty minutes late due to the late arrival of some Kilkenny players. The referee declared Kilkenny the 3-5 to 2-6 winners over Dublin, however, this result was not allowed to stand. The possibility of a replay was ruled out by the Leinster Council as it would establish a dangerous precedent. A proposal that Dublin represent Leinster in the All-Ireland series was defeated by a single vote in favour of Kilkenny.
