Graigue-Ballycallan of Kilkenny won their way through to the AIB All-Ireland Club Hurling final today, with victory over Sixmilebridge of Clare.

In a very evenly-fought match, both sides displayed some wonderful hurling and some spectacular scores.

The Kilkenny side were pushed right to the end, and with only a few minutes to go, the Claremen won a penalty, trailing by two.

They could only manage a point however, and Graigue-Ballycallan hung on for the win.

They now face Athenry of Galway in the final on Easter Monday.
