The result will show that it finished all square in UPMC Nowlan Park in Saturday evening’s Glen Dimplex All-Ireland senior championship Group 2 clash between Leinster rivals Kilkenny and Wexford, but it will feel like a victory for Colin Sunderland’s Wexford side, as they rattled off the last 1-4 of the game, including 1-1 in stoppage time, to salvage a 3-11 to 1-17 draw with the reigning All-Ireland champions.

Shelly Keogh’s goal, set up by a strong and brave run from Ciara O’Connor, got the underdogs out to a dream start with just three minutes on the clock. Kilkenny’s response was exemplary however, as they rattled off the next five points of the game – four from the stick of Katie Nolan – over the next eight minutes of play.
