Footballers folded
FORGET THE result at Tinryland on Sunday; neither county would be chuffed with an O'Byrne Shield medal - indeed, not even a Cup victory - but the elation of the home triumph was of more morale importance in view of their upcoming NFL date with Wicklow in Aughrim on Sunday next. The final was more of a probe into the value of the second string rather than scooping worthless silver, and for 35 minutes the Barrowsiders looked more suited to a Junior competition than Leinster Senior challengers.
GAA tighten belts
WEXFORD G.A.A. is no different to other units of the Association when it comes to financial difficulties, and the need to bring in major cuts relating to the preparations of their county teams.

Clubs learn their fate
