Wexford progress pleases Tom Dempsey

Wexford All-Ireland winner Tom Dempsey strikes a balance about his county’s progress to the NHL semi-finals.

Davy Fitzgerald’s side were a goal too good for All-Ireland champions Galway last weekend, but Dempsey stresses: “We’re not running away with ourselves in terms of where we are, but Wexford are playing an attractive brand of hurling — it’s good to watch and the crowds are responding to it.

“The players are working very hard all over the field and some of the scores last week, in particular, were excellent. It’s anything but a defensive game that Wexford are playing — it’s doing it a disservice to just say it’s a ‘sweeper system’. It’s a little bit more than that.
