Davy Fitz can handle the hype, says Wexford football manager ‘Banty’ McEnaney

Wexford football manager Seamus ‘Banty’ McEnaney has colourfully suggested hurling counterpart Davy Fitzgerald will view his high-profile suspension as a “dream come true”.

Ex-Monaghan and Meath boss McEnaney was appointed in Wexford shortly after Fitzgerald stepped into the hurling hot-seat and both managers have since secured promotions in their respective Allianz League campaigns.

Things turned sour for Fitzgerald, however, when he was banned for eight weeks for entering the field of play during their league semi-final defeat to Tipperary and engaging with Niall O’Meara and Jason Forde.
