Diarmuid Devereux predicts big improvement from Wexford hurlers

Wexford GAA chairman Diarmuid Devereux has promised a much- improved showing from the county’s senior hurling team in 2016 – and has urged the likes of Kildare and Meath to challenge Dublin’s dominance of the Leinster football championship.

Devereux has also defended another heavy spend on Wexford inter-county teams this year, with figures released showing €806,373 was splashed out on preparing the various sides in 2015.

That’s a jump of €40,000 but comes in a year when the Wexford U21 hurlers completed the three-in-a-row in Leinster, while the county’s junior footballers claimed a provincial crown.
