Kilkenny were rampant as they recorded a 6-24 to 1-11 win over Laois at O’Moore Park in Group 2 of the Bord na Móna Walsh Cup last night.

The Cats had led by 3-8 to 1-5 at half-time, with goals from Conor Martin, Chris Bolger, and Richie Reid, Paddy Purcell’s goal having put Laois into an early lead.
