It was the biggest day in the Carlow senior hurling championship to date as Mount Leinster Rangers and St. Mullins when they meet at Netwatch Cullen Park in the county final.

Mount Leinster Rangers were first to book their spot after defeating Bagnelstown Gaels by five points, avenging their defeat to them at the same stage last year. 

St. Mullins secured their chance at back-to-back titles by dispatching Ballinkillen in convincing fashion.
