Incredible scenes as Westmeath U21 hurlers score dramatic victory over Kilkenny

There will be some party in Mullingar tonight.

Westmeath beat Kilkenny in the Leinster U21 championship on Wednesday night in a dramatic encounter in Mullingar. In a low-scoring game, Westmeath managed to cling onto an early lead thanks to a goal from midfielder Warren Casserly in the 34th minute. However, the crowd were in for a nail-biting finish as a whopping six minutes of extra time were added and the Cats were awarded a penalty in this period. Remarkably, Kilkenny blasted the penalty wide and Westmeath scored a historic win by 1-11 to 0-12. https://twitter.com/westmeath_gaa/status/735559743742324736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Goal-scorer Casserly uploaded a pic of his battle scars to Snapchat moments after the game with the appropriate caption,  "We got the win anyway".  https://twitter.com/RorysStories/status/735579393926520832?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
