Championship time is here and having missed out on a place in the national league final last month at the hand of Cork, Kilkenny were looking to start their Leinster run on a strong footing.

Cusack Park Mullingar welcomed the Cats on Saturday evening as they take on recently-crowned Division 2A champions Westmeath at 6pm.

We were there for all the action with Brendan Hennessy and Michael Walsh on duty.
