Halligan says O'Brien quit rumour 'a misunderstanding'

Wexford selector Ger Halligan has hit out at claims that top player Leigh O'Brien quit the football panel in frustration, describing the rumours as a 'misunderstanding'.

The defender has been a regular in recent seasons, prompting shock when it was mooted that he quit the panel in a show of contempt for his non-selection under new boss Pat Roe.
