Westmeath take Kehoe Cup

Westmeath 0-16 Carlow 0-09

Westmeath avenged last year’s Christy Ring Cup Final result, with a seven-point win over Carlow ensuring the hosts took Kehoe Cup honours at Kinnegad.

In a game which ebbed and flowed throughout Westmeath always held that extra edge despite the likes of captain Shane Kavanagh trying hard for Carlow.

Like in the semi-final win over DCU Brendan Murtagh (0-06) and Darren McCormack (0-04) proved to be the main players for the Lake County.

Murtagh and McCormack tormented the Carlow defence throughout as Westmeath held out for a comfortable victory.
