A tough start to the Leinster Hurling Championship for Antrim at Nowlan Park as Kilkenny romp to a comprehensive 5-30 to 0-13 win.
It was a tough start to the Leinster Hurling Championship for Antrim at Nowlan Park on Sunday as Kilkenny romped to a comprehensive 5-30 to 0-13 win.
They were simply stronger, sharper and playing the game at a different pace than Antrim who couldn't get into it at all. The Saffrons replied with Cunning frees either side of their first from play by James McNaughton, the first of those placed balls coming when Eoghan Campbell was adjudged to have been trailed down just outside the area with a goal on.
A Conor McCann score at the other end was Antrim's response, yet although the wides were mounting for Kilkenny with nine in the opening half, there were enough scores to supplement as they led 1-15 to 0-7 at the break.
