Wexford reject crisis claims

WEXFORD hurling's management and players came out fighting yesterday, rubbishing claims of a crisis in the camp.

Despite the withdrawal of yet another two players from the county panel and their poor start to the season, manager John Conran has insisted that there are no serious problems.

It emerged earlier this week that defender Darren Stamp, who was instrumental in guiding the county to an All-Ireland semi-final with Cork last year, and Paul Codd's younger brother Robbie opted out of the squad. They have now joined the likes of veterans Liam Dunne and Larry O'Gorman who called time on their inter-county careers in the last few months.
