Wexford skipper sitting comfortably at Leinster’s top table

FOR all that Jason Ryan has done to assist Wexford in making the grade in the Leinster SFC in his first year in charge, team captain Colm Morris agrees that the credit for qualifying for a final after a wait of 52 years deserves to be shared among a lot of people.

Thinking back to his first season, in 1999/2000, he recalled the first of a number of bad days when they came through a Round Robin system and flopped against Dublin in Croke Park. Now he reflects on how much they have advanced and how they have overcome their inhibitions of taking on the more established counties.

Matty Forde and full-back Philip Wallace are others who were there with him from the start.
