Seamus McEnaney defends physical approach

Wexford 1-9 Dublin 1-12: Seamus McEnaney made no apologies for his experimental team’s aggressiveness going down to a similarly unfamiliar Dublin side in this final O’Byrne Cup game in Enniscorthy.

Both teams had a player sent off in the first-half but Wexford were fortunate to finish with 14 men as two Dublin players appeared to be hit in the head off the ball after the break and in later incidents Joey Wadding and Colm Kehoe were both fortunate to escape with yellow cards.

McEnaney remarked: “It’s a physical game we’re playing and if there’s one thing that disappoints me about the GAA over the last number of years is that we’re losing the physicality. It’s one part of my game I don’t intend losing for whoever I’m managing.
