Banville’s ‘Wood’ back in running

Inter-county attacker PJ Banville hauled reigning champions Horeswood back into the title race as they ended up with a fully merited 2-13 to 0-10 victory over Fethard in their Wexford SFC clash on Saturday evening.

With just two points from four games, Horeswood needed a victory to make it through to the quarter-final stages while their opponents Fethard needed full points to leapfrog them into the knock-out stages and they were also dependant on Clongeen losing their final outing.

There was always the danger that Horeswood would continue their inconsistent form into this game. However, they swamped r their opponents in the opening quarter, by which stage they led 1-5 to 0-3, the goal a brilliant finish from David Shannon after Banville had delivered the final pass into space.
