Transformed Wexford aim for first title

KEVIN KEHOE boarded the Good Counsel team bus yesterday afternoon in Athy in a celebratory mood. He had just overseen the New Ross school’s collection of the Leinster Colleges JAFC title courtesy of a 2-19 to 1-7 win over Marist College (Athlone).

Tonight he journeys back to a Midlands avenue and aims to bring more silverware to the south-east when he sends the Wexford U21s into combat in the Leinster decider against Longford.

“It was a great win for us with Good Counsel and shows that there’s a lot of good football work being done by Wexford schools. St Peter’s won the U14 Leinster title two years ago and we won the U14 last year and this year. That’s good progress.”
