Ben out to stop the rot

Ben Brosnan knows he was spoilt.

In inter-county terms, he was the kid raised with a silver spoon in his mouth. Jason Ryan was in charge during his first year in Wexford and, though the work was hard, the living was easy. Oddly so, for a bunch of footballers from Wexford.

Within six months, the Waterford man winched them up to Division 2 of the league. By September they were looking back at a summer in which they hauled themselves up to unimagined heights.
