Rate us after the final, says Model boss

Up until last Sunday’s All-Ireland final classic, Wexford’s hurling renaissance was among the main talking points of championship 2014.

JJ Doyle defines a “good summer” by “winning something”, enquiring as to how many All-Ireland titles Wexford annexed this year. Talk about the county’s renaissance, he says, when September glory is achieved.

Doyle, a three-time All-Ireland winning camogie manager, measures progress in silverware, not moral victories and hard luck stories. In Wexford, the latter has too often been the case.
