Kilkenny claim Walsh Cup success

Kilkenny claimed manager Brian Cody’s first Walsh Cup success in his seventh year in charge as they ran out 1-13 to 0-10 winners at Wexford Park today.

The Cats – 2-16 to 0-05 losers to UCD in last year’s decider - wrestled their first Walsh win since 1992 away from the Leinster champions as they built on John Maher's eighth-minute goal.
