Mullingar marched ruthlessly through Kilkenny, Darragh McCormack the standout with four tries, in a one-sided affair at Shay Murtagh Park.
The gulf in organisation and penetration was wide as Westmeath wasted no time in exerting their superiority, Dan O’Connor starting the ball rolling with the first of 13 tries.
The scrum-half racked up 19 points from the seven conversions he added through the game, even though out-half David Williams claimed the first.
Centre McCormack rattled off four and No 8 Jack Sweeney plundered a hat-trick, reflecting their impact on proceedings.
Kilkenny hooker Donal Kealy and tighthead prop Barry Dunne excelled in the trenches and there were tries by scrum-half Aaron Askins and centre John Kenny.
It came as a reward for the collective, especially the work rate of flanker Joe Murray and the competitiveness of scrum-half Ben Crow.
They were a temporary resolution to the problems which led to further tries by left-wing Jack Ford, hooker Matthew Bruton, flanker Ross Ashmore, second-row Eddie Glass and centre Dylan Briody.
Scorers – Mullingar: D McCormack four tries; J Sweeney three tries; D O’Connor try, seven cons; D Briody, E Glass, R Ashmore, M Bruton, J Ford try each; D Williams con. Kilkenny: A Askins, J Kenny try each.
