Dubs dig deep as Wexford bottle it

Dublin 1-17 Wexford 2-10

If the jury is still deep in deliberation on Dublin’s ability, the verdict on their mental strength would appear to be in their favour.

Whereas Laois had earlier performed with grace and penetration, neither Dublin or Wexford managed to hit the same heights. This was about heart, about guts rather than guile and by the evening’s last act, Wexford’s self-belief was found to be as brittle as we had feared it would be.
