Wexford rubbish O’Brien departure reports

WEXFORD PRO Alan Aherne has rubbished reports that Leigh O’Brien has opted out of their senior football set up.

“The County Board doesn’t know where the story emanated, but there is no truth to it and Leigh is in contention for a place on the team to play Laois on Sunday”, he said.

“That kind of talk is very mischievous and doesn’t do any good for the county footballers who are enjoying one of their best seasons ever in the league. Leigh trained last night with the rest of the squad.”
