Kilkenny have won the Leinster title for the first time since 2011, with a commanding win over their conquerors of last year, Dublin.

TJ Reid led the way for Brain Cody’s men with 10 points, with 8 coming from placed balls.

Dublin had to wait until the 22nd minute for their first score from open play, a goal from Colm Cronin. That moment aside, the Cats were utterly unperturbed by the efforts of last year’s All-Ireland semi-finalists.
