Na Fianna 2-14 Naas 0-17
Na Fianna are into a first ever Leinster senior club hurling final after seeing off Naas at O'Moore Park this afternoon by 2-14 to 0-17.
The game was relatively close in the first half with the Mobhi Road men taking a two-point lead into the break. But the third quarter proved decisive as Ciaran Stacey and AJ Murphy found the back of the net to give them some breathing room.

The Kildare champions pushed hard in the last 10 minutes as they outscored Na Fianna by six points to one, but they couldn't land the equaliser before the Dublin club landed the last two points to finish off the tie.
Kilkenny's O'Loughlin Gaels await in the final, after they held on to beat Kilcormac/Killoughey of Offaly by 17 points to 12 earlier.
It also means that next Saturday's Leinster final double header can go ahead as planned, with Kilmacud Crokes also playing Naas in the football final. The hurling final would have been moved back a week had Naas managed to qualify for both.
