Conor McDonald brands criticism of Davy Fitzgerald ‘childish’

Wexford’s Conor McDonald has branded some of the recent criticism of manager Davy Fitzgerald as “childish” and “hurtful”.

Fitzgerald is serving an eight-week ban from all official GAA activities after encroaching onto the field of play and squaring up to two Tipperary players during Wexford’s league semi-final loss to the All-Ireland champions last month.

Newstalk pundit and former Offaly hurler Daithi Regan was especially scathing of the Clare man’s transgression in the aftermath, labelling Fitzgerald imbecilic, self- indulgent, and childish while arguing that he had let the county down.
