Mullally braced for enormous Oulart test

Mount Leinster Rangers manager Tommy Mullally believes Oulart-the-Ballagh’s poor Leinster final record will ensure the Wexford champions will take little for granted in Sunday’s provincial hurling final.

“If you stack up the experience, the games played, finals that teams have been in, Oulart’s would stack up. Outside of our own group there’s no doubt that very, very few people would be giving us a chance and that’s an understandable viewpoint to take.”

Mullally appreciates the headlines and feelgood factor generated by his team’s victory over Ballyboden St Enda’s in the last four will help them — but he also knows exactly how the upset was caused. “There’s a semi-final won against a very good team in Ballyboden but we did catch them after they had played their county final so we don’t really know where we are.
