Leinster win Senior Interprovincials 2014

The Senior Interprovincials were played out on Saturday 22^nd February at ALSAA in Dublin, with teams competing in Mens A and B from Leinster, Ulster and Munster. The winners of the Mens A were Leinster captained by Kevin Moore along with Oisin Logan, Pat Morrissey, Cillian Dunne and Ronan Peyton. The winners of the Mens B were Ulster whose team included Steven McAteer, Peter McNiece, Martin O’Neil, Michael McElroy and Ashley Black.

The results of the matches were as follows:

Mens A

Match 1 – Leinster A 3-2 Ulster A

Match 2 – Munster A 3-2 Ulster A

Match 3 – Leinster A 5-0 Munster A
