'You get subtle reminders every now and again that time is passing. Time waits for nobody, that's life, and you get out of it what you can while you're here.'
When the Wexford players met the day after their defeat to Antrim, avoiding relegation rather than reaching the knockout stages was foremost in their minds.
“And then you're spending two days up at Antrim, staying overnight for the game and getting ready to get your Championship up and running and you come out with a defeat. Having to stare down the lens of a camera then wasn't obviously ideal for me.” “So we didn't want it to be another situation like last year where going into the last game and fighting for survival as well, so to just not be relegated.
“I know that's gone now, but I mean, you were still in Nowlan Park on the final day with a chance of getting there. Just wasn't to be. Look, we're happy where we are at the minute at this stage.”
