Wexford's Lee Chin says that the Slayneysiders are keen to make up for the 24-point hammering which they suffered at the hands of Kilkenny last summer.

Liam Dunne's men take on Limerick this Saturday night in their National League opener and Chin says he is optimistic about the new season ahead.

"After last year we'd be keen to try and get back and redeem ourselves in some way," Chin said at yesterday's Allianz Hurling League launch in Belfast.

"Last year was a total disappointment and the Kilkenny game was down to us mentally. We did seem fatigued and drained in some way but we were right with them until the 44/45th minute mark.

"They just blew us out of the water then with a couple of goals and points and it's like their kill zone. They just drive on. It is a mental block you have to get over too, but it's a new day and a new summer, so who knows what will happen."

Throw-in for Saturday night's game at the Gaelic Grounds is scheduled for 7pm.
