Wexford will keep up momentum, says Murphy

WEXFORD hurlers will have to prove to themselves and their supporters that winning the Leinster title against Offaly will enhance their prospects of success in the Guinness All-Ireland championship.

Specifically, they will have to use the six-week break between now and the All-Ireland semi-final to their advantage and avoid the risk of losing form in the interim period. Expressing the view yesterday that the championship "is definitely wide open," selector Dickie Murphy says that both themselves and (Munster champions)

Waterford face the same challenge.
