Ryan seeks to silence doubters

JASON RYAN would love to look into a crystal ball and see what will have unfolded for him and the Wexford footballers by 8.30pm in Dr Cullen Park.

Round about then, he will discover if the work of the last two months, supported by the vast experience gained last season in a run to the All-Ireland semi-final, will reestablish Wexford’s reputation after a disastrous League.

Of course, that could still be achieved even if they go under to Kildare in the GAA Leinster football championship quarter-final, except that nobody is contemplating a defeat at this stage. As Ryan points out, while circumstances may be different (last year they had won Division 3 and were unbeaten), the approach to this game is not dissimilar.
