Naas show their strength once again, Confey shock Celbridge

There were no less than seven senior hurling championship games down for decision between Friday and Saturday.

Two games in Group 1 (winners') and two in Group 2 (losers' section).

Naas, once again, showed just how far they are ahead of everyone with a very comfortable win over Éire Ó Corra Choill, while Confey, after defeating Leixlip in the preliminary round, brought that form into Saturday's clash with Celbridge defeating their neighbours by two points.

Another notable victory saw Moorefield defeat Naas (2nd) in Round 2 of the Senior B Hurling Championship.
