Future bright as ‘disappointed’ boss Ryan hails Model effort

WHEN Pat McEnaney blew his whistle for the last time yesterday afternoon, Jason Ryan called his panel into a huddle on the Croke Park pitch determined to put his own punctuation mark to the end of Wexford’s season.

“It was just to say, soak it up, look at where you are and what you have achieved,” said the manager later. “Today was very disappointing for everybody but there is a lot of achievement to take from this year.

“The reality of it is that they have achieved an awful lot but they are still going home extremely disappointed as are all the other people going home to Wexford. As with any game, it is all a case of ifs, buts and maybes.”
