Wexford squeezed out as Kilkenny just ‘keep on hurling’

Kilkenny 0-22 Wexford 1-18

For the second game in a row, Brian Cody’s men went a yawning period without a score from play — 31 minutes compared to 40 in Salthill 13 days previous.

For the second game in a row, the opposition were almost out of sight — nine points ahead, two less than Galway. And for the second year in succession, it appeared Wexford would again succeed having built up a handsome advantage early in the second half.
