Model men won’t dwell on past failures

DAVID MURPHY and his Wexford comrades are entitled to ponder on how this football weekend may have been shaped for them.

In the Leinster quarter-final in mid-June, they bossed the exchanges against Dublin but were hauled back to parity by the final whistle and overtaken in extra-time.

It was a game the Model men could well have won, but instead of being the springboard towards a potential Leinster final tomorrow, instead they are forced down the qualifier route this afternoon, when they travel to Pearse Stadium to face Galway.
