Ref causes a storm

A CONTROVERSIAL refereeing decision four minutes before the break changed the course of this Leinster MHC semi-final at Wexford Park on Saturday which Kilkenny triumphed on a 2-19 to 2-13 scoreline over Wexford.

Wicklow official John Keenan endured the wrath of home fans when he dismissed Wexford wing-back Colm Heffernan for a second yellow card offence.

Kilkenny took the lead inside 30 seconds when Conor Martin goaled from close range.
