Good performance down in Wexford this evening up until about 55 mins when we were well in it and a draw at least looked very possible. But the last 10-15 minutes were very disappointing we just seemed to collapse. We didn't look as fit and the Wexford subs were on by then and they made a big impact and that alone shows the difference between us and them in that they have way more depth. We were down James Doyle and Ciarán Whelan and we don't have replacements anywhere near that standard and it showed. We don't have their depth so we need all our top players without exception to have a chance really. Wexford players were also just that bit sharper and quicker to breaking ball so no complaints even at 55 minutes they looked the slightly better team but in the last 15 they crowned it and were worth the win maybe not by 10 but certainly by 5-6 points.

I thought by the end the team seemed to have lost some heart as Wexford took over but hopefully they'll get over this quickly as it's all to play for still and there's at least two games that we can definitely win where we're not going in hoping for an upset. We need at least one more win, maybe a draw also, to stay up which would be a great achievement and great place to develop younger players while sustaining our place at this level.
