Wexford plan to stifle Galway forwards ‘worked like a dream’
Galway came into this game as odds on favourites, but it was Wexford who called most of the shots when it mattered most, and their dominance in the closing 20 minutes had the westerners out on their feet. Not unexpectedly an enthused manager John Meyler lauded the efforts of his charges.
Said Meyler: “Our plan was to legitimately pressurise their speedy forwards and we did that most effectively. In hindsight the plan worked like a dream, but while Kilkenny and Cork are still the ones we all have to beat, this display will do an awful lot for our confidence.”
