Dempsey says Wexford a force to be reckoned with

THEY competed manfully in the first-half, but Carlow ultimately succumbed to a superior force in Croke Park yesterday.

Manager Luke Dempsey had no qualms in paying tribute to Wexford as the Barrowsiders fell to a 14-points defeat.

“Wexford’s second-half performance was outstanding. They showed their experience of the last four years when they got into an All-Ireland semi-final in 2008 and last year the way they ran Dublin ragged for a lot of that game.
