While the Leinster Championship may lag behind Munster in terms of status, it’s still a reasonably healthy state of affairs that each of the six teams have something to play for this Sunday.
The final is likely to be contested by Kilkenny and Galway (currently seven points each), though both need to avoid defeat against Wexford and Dublin respectively to make absolutely sure.
A win for Dublin, who sit on five points, over Galway at Croke Park and Kilkenny avoiding defeat in Wexford would be enough to see Micheal Donoghue’s side make the final at his native county’s expense, as they would leapfrog the Tribesmen by virtue of the head-to-head record.
