Kildare's under-20 hurlers produced a brave and encouraging display against Kilkenny in Round 1 of the Leinster Championship, but ultimately fell 0-10 to 1-16 at the hands of the reigning Leinster powerhouses.
Under the guidance of legendary player and manager Henry Shefflin, Kilkenny pulled clear at the end of the second half after a competitive opening, showcasing the experience and composure that has long defined the Cats at underage level.
