As a member of the last team to win the All-Ireland SHC without a backdoor, former Wexford star Larry O’Gorman is all for a straight knock-out inter-county championship.

It’s 24 years since Liam Griffin guided the Model County to victory and he was in touch with O’Gorman recently to remind him that teams have been receiving second chances ever since.
