Dwyer motivated by missed opportunity

THE last time Wexford reached the All-Ireland senior camogie final 25-year-old Ferns native Josie Dwyer was preparing for a different trip to Croke Park – the 2007 Ladies All-Ireland Intermediate football final which the girls in purple and gold would eventually lose to Leitrim.

A mere two years on and the footballers had slumped to Junior level.

In the mean time Dwyer had foreseen that change in fortunes and joined up with the camogie girls under the then tutelage of Stellah Sinnott. However missing that winner’s medal was something that rankles to this day.
