Leinster MHC Semi-finals/Dublin 2-16 Kilkenny 4-7: Dublin won a Leinster final place after a three-point victory over reigning champions Kilkenny at Dr Cullen Park, Carlow, on Saturday afternoon.

The game was in its fourth minute of injury-time before Dublin's Declan O'Dwyer scored the winning goal. They were trailing by 4-5 to 1-8 after seven minutes of the second half. Richie Hogan had scored two first-half goals and TJ Reid and Eoin Cody struck after the break. The Dublin goal arrived in the 14th minute from Ross O'Carroll.

Dublin then started to eat into the Kilkenny lead and by the 59th minute they were in front. Hogan looked to have earned a draw for Kilkenny when he pointed but Dublin forced a sideline cut which was finished by O'Dwyer.
