Kilkenny made it 3-in-a-row of Walsh cup titles by beating Wexford in Wexford on a scoreline of 1-13 to 0-10. Co-incidentally this is the exact same score as the 2005 final, which started Kilkenny’s current run of success in the tournament.
Prior to their 2005 victory Kilkenny had shown little interest in the cup going back to their last victory in 1992 (when they beat Wexford again!). Indeed in 2004 they were hammered in the final by UCD on a scoreline of 2-16 to 0-5.
However it now looks like every game they play is a big one with the players realising that a drop in form in any match could see them struggling to get their place back in the team.
