Davy Fitzgerald rues Wexford’s wastefulness

Wexford’s unbeaten start in 2018 came to at Semple Stadium on Saturday night, but Davy Fitzgerald remained upbeat with a patchy performance that might have brought more reward with greater cutting edge in front of goal.

The final margin may appear convincing enough for the home side, who went in at half-time seven points to the good (1-15 to 1-8) after dominating the 15-minute period up to the break in which they outscored Wexford 11 points to one.

That lead had increased to nine by the hour mark before Wexford launched a late rescue effort as they cut the margin to four when Conor McDonald was denied for the second time by another stunning save by Tipperary goalkeeper Daragh Mooney.
