Flying Flynn fires Déise to narrow win

Waterford 1-13 Wexford 0-14

He steered his side to a narrow but deserved two-point victory over Wexford in the opening round of Division 1A of the National League before 6,000 at Fraher Field, Dungarvan.

In the crucial third quarter Waterford turned a three-point interval deficit into a four-point lead. With the strong wind to their backs, they looked to be coasting, but Wexford found their own inspiration in Diarmuid Lyng and Darren Stamp, and made the home side sweat right to the end.
