Wexford defeat woke us up, says Kernan

JOE KERNAN believes losing to Wexford on the opening day of the NFL was “a wake-up call of sorts” for Armagh.

Since that day in early February, his side haven’t lost and now have a chance to exact revenge on the Model County in Sunday’s League decider.

“That day was a wake-up call of sorts,” Kernan admits. “We were six points up at half-time and ended up losing by seven points, but the six-point lead mightn’t have been a fair reflection of the game, we were very fortunate to get one of our goals.
