Kilkenny, captained by Adrian Mullen, won the game by 1–25 to 0–19. The Dublin team had some withdrawals due to some players being close contacts of a confirmed Covid case. The match was tight in the 1st half but Kilkenny scored the last 3 points of the half to lead 0–12 to 0–9 at half time. Kilkenny stayed in front in the 2nd half and received a penalty in the 61st minute when Alan Murphy was fouled. Jake Malone was sin binned. TJ Reid scored a goal from the penalty and this score proved decisive.[1][2]
