The Shamrocks and Tullaroan are set to meet in the Kilkenny County Final.
The County Final is one full of history and tradition as the two clubs leading the Roll of Honour in Kilkenny collide in a game that is scheduled to be screened live on TG4.
Despite sharing 41 senior crowns between them, the Shamrocks (21 titles) and Tullaroan (20 titles) have never met in a county final so Sunday’s encounter will certainly be a unique one.
The modern era has been all about the Shamrocks with only one of Tullaroan’s victories arriving in the same timespan that the Ballyhale club have scooped 21 titles and their win over O’Loughlin Gaels in 2025 saw them belatedly overtake the Sash as the top dogs in Kilkenny club hurling.
PICTURES FROM THE SEMI-FINALS:
Tullaroan haven’t even been in a senior final since 1994 and they only graduated to the current senior ranks when winning Kilkenny, Leinster and All-Ireland Intermediate titles in 2019.
The rise for the club has been gradual in recent seasons as they qualified for a couple of county semi-finals but with new Kilkenny selector David Mulcahy now overseeing matters, the men from Tullaroan have found a new level of consistency with victories over Mullinavat, O’Loughlin Gaels and Bennettsbridge securing their place in the decider.
