Building a Model of success

Liam Dunne may have played the game on the edge himself but as Wexford manager he will demand total discipline

That was a nice piece on Marty Morrissey’s new championship programme the other night. Larry Murphy reminiscing about the 1996 Leinster final. One of the matches of the 90s, a coruscating encounter from that Pleistocene era in which Wexford and Offaly won provincial titles and All-Irelands.

That Pleistocene era in which, even more importantly, Wexford and Offaly mattered. They meet in Tullamore tonight, Division 2 teams by any other name. In the great scheme of things, it’s not exactly one of the games of the summer. For RTÉ to be covering it live is a kindness to them.
