Our Wexford Hurlers moved up another gear yesterday and recorded their first win over Kilkenny in Nowlan Park since 1957, 2-18 to 0-19
The deal was sealed in the 70th minute when a long free from his own ’40’ by Wexford goalie, Mark Fanning went all the way to the Kilkenny net, when Jack Guiney put hardship on the home defence
