Brian Cody’s charges overcame near neighbours Waterford in the fifth and final round of the Allianz NHL in UPMC Nowlan Park on Sunday. Both teams started well with Waterford charging into a four point lead in the opening stages but Kilkenny took a 1-10 to 0-11 lead to the dressing room at half time. On the restart Kilkenny once again started brightly and held the lead right through to the end eventually running out 2-21 to 0-21 winners.
The win now means Kilkenny are through to the Allianz NHL semi-finals next weekend where they will play Cork, full fixture details will be confirmed on Monday.
