Griffin: Why hurling needs Wexford

LIAM GRIFFIN is an interviewer’s dream. Asking him a question on any of the diverse topics he holds strong views on is literally like pressing a button.

The response is immediate and if not downright provocative, guaranteed to promote debate. Nowhere, is he more passionate than on the subject of Wexford hurling, specifically on what he perceives are the faults and failings resulting from past neglect of the underage scene.

To support his argument, he points out that this year Wexford U21s were beaten by 13 points by Dublin and the minors lost to Offaly by 10 points.
