Lee Chin: Davy Fitzgerald with Wexford in spirit... and on WhatsApp

Joint Wexford captain Lee Chin insists Davy Fitzgerald has strictly observed the terms of his high-profile suspension and attended training in ‘spirit’ only.

The Wexford manager is serving an eight-week suspension for entering the field of play and jostling two Tipperary players in last month’s Allianz League semi-final defeat.

He will be banned from the sideline for Sunday’s Leinster quarter-final clash with Laois, as well as an anticipated June 10 showdown with Kilkenny, and Chin claims the Clare man has also sat out training sessions. The Faythe Harriers man said that Fitzgerald has communicated mostly with his players by phone and online messaging services whilst also conducting individual face to face meetings.
