Jacob master class sets up deserved Wexford win

A MASTER class in scoring by full-forward Rory Jacob set Wexford up for a deserved eight-point victory in a competitive and sometimes fractious NHL Division 1A tie at Wexford Park yesterday.

Jacob’s showing was but one of many pleasing features from the Wexford perspective, something manager Seamas Murphy acknowledged afterward.

“We considered ourselves unlucky not to have taken something away from our game against Waterford last week. Today we hurled with great fire and commitment and we’re delighted to get league points on the board.”
