Morris: Big ball is growing in Wexford

WEXFORD star Colm Morris believes more young players are concentrating on football following the success of the county’s senior side.

Jason Ryan’s men advanced to a second Leinster SFC final in four years with victory over Carlow in Croke Park on Sunday. Coupled with the U21 side securing a first provincial title in April, these are glory days for football in the county.

That was reflected in their squad, with youngsters like Liam Óg McGovern and Michael O’Regan on the bench at Croke Park — four days after helping the county’s U21 hurlers qualify for the Leinster decider.
