Wexford SHC Final replay/ Rathnure 1-12 Oulart-the-Ballagh 0-6: Martin Storey's farewell to senior championship hurling was a disappointment for the 43-year-old All-Ireland winning captain of 1996 as Oulart-the-Ballagh failed in their bid to make it three in a row in Saturday's replayed final at Wexford Park.

Rathnure were the dominant force throughout the pitch, with their defence in particular outstanding, as they held the reigning champions to just a single point from play during the game.
