Kilkenny U21's scored a goal inside 13 seconds tonight, but Wexford hit back with 3 in 5 minutes

It has been a sensational first half to the Leinster U21 Hurling Final.

‘TO BEAT KILKENNY, you have to keep them quiet early on,’  said every hurling team to ever meet the Cats.

Of course, keeping the black and amber from firing is much easier said than done and the game’s royalty took just 13 seconds to put a goal on the board in tonight’s Leinster U21 Hurling Final against Wexford.

Corner forward Liam Hickey collected the high ball in and turned to drive goalward. His initial attempt at shooting was hooked, but he looked down to find the sliotar and tucked it away with a fine ground stroke.

As you can see from the above, TG4′s commentators barely had a chance to introduce themselves before the green flag was flying.

Since the early concession though Wexford have been in excellent form and goals from Conor McDonald…

Two became three in the 24th minute as Andrew Kenny officially signaled that Wexford were running riot.
