Ger Aylward leads way as Kilkenny take Wexford to the cleaners

Kilkenny 5-25 Wexford 0-16: Nothing personal, just business. At the final whistle, Kilkenny players reached for the hands of their opponents as if to utter the line from The Godfather.

Wexford had been taken care of but in fairness, most teams would have suffered the same fate with the champions in this kind of form.

The complexion of the scoreboard would have been kinder on Wexford but for the seven straight points they conceded in the final four minutes of action. By that stage, they had given up, which Liam Dunne was understandably annoyed about afterwards.
