Westmeath secured one of the most famous results in hurling history on Sunday when they came back from 17 points down to defeat Wexford in Wexford Park in the Leinster senior hurling championship.

The result leaves both counties tied on two points each and Wexford are now perilously close to relegation down to the Joe McDonagh Cup for next season.
