Wexford pull off unlikely survival after holding out against Kilkenny in madcap contest via IrishTimesSport
Then they rallied and in the second half romped free before the visitors wrecked the good vibes by going goal crazy and even at the very end, spilt seconds after referee Colm Lyons had given a last relieving free out, Alan Murphy was clipping in what would have been a sixth goal to plunge Wexford into next year’s McDonagh Cup.Wexford’s Jack O’Connor shoots on goal during the Leinster SHC game against Kilkenny in Wexford Park.
Chin had reduced the margin to two, 0-2 to 1-1, when Martin Keoghan ran on to Walter Walsh’s pass for a second goal. From then there was a tale of traditional Kilkenny virtues: economical use of the ball, fluent touch and a demoralisingly clicking scoreboard.The crowd were aware of events in Mullingar, knowing that an Antrim victory would require Wexford to salvage something from the match. But Kilkenny were slick and merciless, posting just five wides all afternoon and two in the first half.
Conor McDonald, a Chin free and a bumper strike by Rory O’Connor from 60 metres out on the right levelled it and by half-time they led 2-11 to 2-10. Kilkenny were now at sixes and sevens and struggling to hold back the tide. Chin added a 65 after he and McGovern and Jack O’Connor led a raid on the goal that was scrambled clear. McGovern did it again a minute later after McDonald and Kevin Foley combined to tee up a chance on advantage after a penalty had been awarded.
