Kilkenny v Galway TV info, throw-in time, date and more for Leinster final
Kilkenny and Galway meet this weekend in the 2025 Leinster Hurling Championship final. Kilkenny have won all of the five previous Leinster titles this decade with their last final defeat coming in 2019 against Wexford. The Cats rounded off their campaign with a surprising defeat to an impressive Wexford side, although at this stage they were safe and sound in top spot. Galway won well against Dublin in Parnell Park last time out in what was billed as a Leinster semi-final. Kilkenny swept the Tribesmen aside in their last meeting in the group stages, with a 3-24 to 1-21 score line proving enough for the Cats. Here's what you need to know about the big game: Saturday, June 7. Croke Park in Drumcondra. The game is due to begin at 4pm. Yes, the game is being shown on RTÉ 2. Kilkenny - 4/7 Draw - 13/2 Galway - 2/1

Offaly v Antrim, Dublin v Galway and Wexford v Kilkenny live updates
The final round of group matches in the Leinster Hurling Championship takes place this afternoon with three 2pm throw-ins. Galway and Dublin are already through to the All-Ireland stages, but the winner of today's match in Parnell Park will have the prize of a Leinster final with Kilkenny. Last year, Galway were knocked out of the championship at this stage by Dublin, who were then managed by current Galway boss Micheál Donoghue. It has been a disappointing season for Wexford, whose two defeats mean they have nothing to play for this weekend as they face a Kilkenny side already through to the Leinster final. Many eyes will be on Tullamore, though, where winless pair Offaly and Antrim clash, knowing that the loser will drop down to the Joe McDonagh Cup. All three matches are scheduled for 2pm throw-ins, and we will be keeping tabs on all the action. The big story this afternoon will be the fate of Offaly and Antrim as they try to avoid relegation. Many Antrim fans were hoping that the appointment of Davy Fitzgerald would raise the standards within the county, but they endured a testing Championship campaign, with all four of their defeats being by ten points or more. In contrast, Offaly have come out on the wrong side of close contests with the likes of Dublin and Wexford. Their young side seems to be progressing, and they will be keen to preserve their status in the top tier. Offaly: Mark Troy; Ben Conneely, Ciaran Burke, James Mahon; Ross Ravenhill, Donal Shirley, Jason Sampson; Cathal King, Colin Spain; Killian Sampson, Daniel Bourke, Oisin Kelly; Dan Ravenhill, Charlie Mitchell, Brian Duignan. Subs: Liam Hoare, Sam Bourke, Eoghan Cahill, Brecon Kavanagh, Jack Clancy, Eoin Burke, Padraig Cantwell, David King, DJ McLoughlin, Ben Miller, David Nally. Antrim: Ryan Elliott; Stephen Rooney, Paddy Burke, Niall O'Connor; Conall Bohill, Joe Maskey, Conor Boyd; Gerard Walsh, Eoghan Campbell; Ryan McCambridge, Nigel Elliott, Scott Walsh; Joseph McLaughlin, Eoin O'Neill, Cormac McKeown. Subs: Ruairi McCormick, Eoin McFerran, Ryan McGarry, Rory McCloskey, Sean McKay, Paul Boyle, James McNaughton, Aodhan McGarry, Keelan Molloy, Fred McCurry, Jack McCloskey.
