Hurneys point way as Waterford whip Cats

Waterford secured their first Allianz League victory of 2012 with a facile victory over Kilkenny at Fraher Field, Dungarvan, on Saturday night.

The hosts dominated from the outset, racing five points clear before Brian Byrne opened the Kilkenny account in the 9th minute. But it was one-way traffic from there to the break, with Waterford leading 0-16 to 0-1 at the interval.

A Stephen Duggan free in the 65th minute completed the Kilkenny scoring but the visitors were twice denied goals by the alertness of Waterford keeper Stephen Enright.
