ALL-IRELAND SHC ROUND 2:

Model make most of joys of summer

In Nowlan Park on Saturday evening, it felt like a celebration. Waterford were hardly a piñata but their low numbers in support suggested they are a county that has partied too hard. Spoiled by having had it so good these last 16 or so years. Wexford, on the other hand, have been starved of such occasions and milked this qualifier for everything it was worth.

That their team read the script once more helped considerably. Again, there was no sign of killer instinct from this rapidly improving side. Waterford could have been put to the sword earlier than they were, and Wexford’s wides mounted again but then nothing was going to be perfect after their bruising encounters with Clare. Very little will rein in the air of delight that permeates the county now.
