LEINSTER club IHC winner Richie Hogan said getting to see teammate Paul Murphy lift the cup named after his dad was a special moment.

Kilkenny great Hogan hadn't hurled for Danesfort all year but came on in Navan and inspired a landmark win.

The Kilkenny intermediate champions trailed the Meath senior kingpins by six points with 15 minutes to go.
