Masterson desperate to put big ball on Wexford map

SET a ruler down horizontally through the market town of Gorey and you more or less divide the county of Wexford into its hurling and footballing heartlands.

Anything north of that point and the likelihood is that the local GAA club prefers to use a big ball. Anything south of it and they will probably lean towards the ash and sliotar but hurling’s influence, its hold, is everywhere.

Anthony Masterson will tell you that.
