Wexford secured a first victory over arch-rivals Kilkenny in Nowlan Park in 60 years this afternoon.

The Modelmen have been rejuvenated since Davy Fitzgerald took over and their brilliant start to 2017 has everyone in hurling sitting up and taking notice. Next up is an Allianz League semi-final against All-Ireland champions Tipperary in a fortnight's time. Exciting times for Wexford's long-suffering supporters...

 

Full time:

Kilkenny 0:19-2:18 Wexford

These Yellowbellies are tough to put down. Much Jedi training they have received under Davy Fitzgerald. #KKvWex #WexvKK #AllianzLeagues
