Becoming Model footballers

WEXFORD selector Ger Halligan insists Sunday’s victory over Laois was crucial for the development of football in the Model County.

Their three-point victory, and the resultant league semi-final date with Tyrone, is the clearest indication yet that Wexford are moving closer to football’s elite.

“Getting to the semi-finals meant everything to us, especially after the last few years when we’ve missed out on getting there on the last day once or twice,” said Halligan.
