Fitzhenry upbeat despite Slaneysiders’ exit

DAMIEN FITZHENRY wasn’t too despondent at yet another defeat at the hands of their great Leinster rivals Kilkenny in yesterday’s All-Ireland SHC semi-final.

“The margin was five points less than the Leinster final,” said the Wexford captain. “But it was still a heavy defeat.

“We knew coming up here that we had a lot of ground to make up. The start we got was perfect, maybe we should have had a few more scores before Kilkenny finally settled, and once they did, it was always going to be very difficult for us.
