Wexford rue late miss against Kilkenny

While Murphy looked to have secured his side’s passage to a final meeting with Galway, the Model County still had a chance to secure victory when, straight from the puck-out, they worked the ball cleverly downfield, leaving substitute Cathal Dunbar with a goal chance. However, his effort was superbly pushed around the post by goalkeeper Richie Reid for a 65 that Lee Chin sent narrowly wide.

Kilkenny boss Brian Cody was delighted with the result. “We knew we were going to be put under pressure in this game for Wexford have been on a high over recent weeks,” he said.
