A Mark Fanning penalty edged Glynn-Barntown past Rathnure (1-19 to 1-16) and into the quarter-finals of the Wexford senior hurling championship.

The winners dominated the opening exchanges but a Ciaran O’Connor goal hauled Rathnure to within two points at the break (0-13 to 1-8) and his side drove on the restart and looked set for the spoils before Fanning scored the crucial goal.
