O’Connor rules himself out of Wexford race

FORMER Wexford great George O’Connor will not contest the race to replace John Conran as manager of the county senior hurling side.

O’Connor, who won an All-Ireland SHC medal in 1996, said he is “only a rookie” in management terms.

“It’s only a romantic notion to believe that one could manage an inter-county side and hold down a full-time job,” O’Connor said yesterday.
