Darren Glesson was delighted with Antrim’s shock Leinster SHC victory over Wexford.

The Saffrons came from seven points down in the second half to win by two at Corrigan Park – just six days after they had suffered a 0-13 to 5-30 drubbing at the hands of Kilkenny.

"They got what they deserved," the Antrim manager said in an interview with BBC NI.

"The genuine hurling people who follow them about deserved that and the team do; people go everywhere to the most unglamorous of places - that's who that is for.

"The boys wanted to right that (the Kilkenny defeat) and they did that themselves. We facilitated in the week for them to have the little chats and work on what they needed to work on.

"We've come a long way when we are coming out of Nowlan Park disappointed," he added.

"Corrigan Park has been great to us again against a fine Wexford team that had a cracking performance last week, but just that small bit more hunger was evident, and I'm thrilled for the players.”
