Waterford back at top table after victory against Wexford

Waterford 0-22 Wexford 0-16

Waterford hurling’s period of transition, heralded by sweeping changes in panel personnel and numerous retirements during the off-season, received an unexpected push yesterday afternoon, a swift return to the league’s top flight secured.

For Wexford, last year’s summer adventure has failed to progress to spring renaissance. 8,500 patrons filed into Wexford Park in expectation of a further statement of intent from Liam Dunne’s side. Their challenge never left the runway.
