We don’t intend to be bridesmaids again, says defiant Conran

THE Wexford dressing room was eerily quiet as players tried to come to terms with what might have been after they came back from the dead to force a replay next Saturday at the same venue.

Defiant coach John Conran, said his charges were very disappointed at not winning the game and, while agreeing that the element of surprise which they carried into the match was now gone, Wexford were in no mood to give Cork the initiative for the replay.

“Our lads showed tremendous heart in coming back from a position where all seemed lost, but we’ve been in this spot before,” he said. “Two years ago, against Tipperary, we had another tremendous contest, but we failed in the replay and we don’t intend being bridesmaids again.
