Wexford hammered as Cats eye final

Kikenny 3-26, Wexford 0-5

Kilkenny were 15 points clear in this Allianz League game in Nowlan Park by half time and at the game’s end had doubled that margin to virtually assure themselves of a place in the final ahead of their last game, at home to Tipperary next weekend.

The depressing feature for dejected Wexford was that they seemed powerless to avoid such an humiliating defeat. DJ Carey remarked afterwards that from a psychological point of view it was ‘always nice’ to know that they were capable of producing a win like this. But he wasn’t reading anything into the result.
