Kilkenny host Laois in the second round of the Leinster senior hurling championship this weekend at UPMC Nowlan Park.
Kilkenny got off to a good start last weekend, defeating Westmeath by a scoreline of 5-23 to 1-19. It wasn't as comfortable as the final score suggests however, with Westmeath well in the game up until half time.
Laois, on the other hand, battled hard against Dublin at Parnell Park. Despite being outplayed for much of the game, Laois threatened to pull off a shock, reeling in Dublin over the last five minutes. Ultimately, the Dubs came out on top by just two points.
