Managers suffer in battle of nerves

What can either manager say after the kind of game we saw in Parnell Park yesterday?

For Oulart-The Ballagh’s Pat Herbert, in his first year with the Wexford club after a few years with Tipperary side Toomevara, it was a roller-coaster of emotions in the second-half. For Kilmacud Crokes’s youthful Gearóid Ó Riain it was just all agony.

“This wasn’t bonus territory for us, that sort of talk is insulting,” he bristled, swatting aside any suggestion that there was consolation in the performance.
