Hard luck to the Wexford hurlers, who after a great start, racing into an 0-8 to 0-2 lead after 20 mins, lost out in the end to a lively NUIG side by the smallest of margins, going down 0-13 to 1-11. A number of Wexford’s debutants though acquitted themselves well and showed their potential as future stars of the Purple and Gold.
Wexford now go into the Bord na Móna Walsh Shield competition playing the losers of Westmeath v Offaly. This will be played on 29th of January.
