Ryan delight as Model motoring

WEXFORD boss Jason Ryan could hardly contain his satisfaction after his powerfully built charges dismissed Offaly with consummate ease in this disappointingly one-sided Leinster SFC opener watched by 2,900 at O’Connor Park, Tullamore on Saturday evening.

“This is fantastic, a massive bonus for us,” enthused Ryan after he’d witnessed his side demolish score-shy Offaly by 14 points. He added: “Even if we won by a point, we would have been delighted. We haven’t won a game in Leinster since 2008. Wexford are resilient and have great fighting spirit.”

Wexford’s magnificent twin attacking threat of Ciarán Lyng and Ben Brosnan hit 1-13 between them. They ran Offaly ragged with Brosnan racking up seven points on his debut. Ryan hailed his performance as ‘brilliant’ and hit back at those who claimed his side would be toothless in attack following the retirement of Matty Forde.
