Leinster JHC Club Final

[Square Cab]

Just hoping someone can clear up something for me........Edenderry are supposedly contesting the Leinster Junior Hurling final this Sun but on Hoganstand it shows that a Kilkenny club the Black & Whites beat a Dublin team last sunday to claim the LJHC thus making it a clean sweep for Kilkenny clubs in the Leinster club champ. What competition are Edenderry competing in? Is it some sort of 'B' competition??

Its the Junior 'Special' Leinster Championship. I think its where some of the weaker counties are allowed field their intermediate winners. Either way best of luck to the Reds......flying the flag for hurling in the east of Offaly

i think each of the 12 counties in leinster can nominate one team to enter this competition . the team does not necessarily have to win their respective county championship or be a junior team either. some intermediate teams are involved and some senior teams have been entered in the past by weaker counties so that is why edenderry, who were beaten in the county semi final this year, are involved

It's a bit more complicated than that. As the standard of hurling varies, counties enter their teams at various levels. However it is always the champions unless they are not eligible and the nest best team represents the County, as in Edenderry's case where the winners already had a senior team as did the runners up, therefore the next placed team eligible were the REDS

Best of luck by the way. Not sure if the winners, like Killurin go on to play in Europe
