Wicklow 4-16
Kilkenny 1-5

Tony Hannon scored a hat-trick of goals as Wicklow claimed the predicted straightforward victory over Kilkenny on Sunday afternoon.

Hannon scored two first half goals and added a third in the second half as Mick O'Dwyer's men strolled to victory at Castlecomer.

Seanie Furlong grabbed the other goal in a personal haul of 1-7.

The most disappointing aspect of the game from a Wicklow point of view was losing full back Stephen Kelly to a straight red card offence.
