Wexford boys lift the cup

WEXFORD WERE celebrating at the weekend after lifting the U-15 Umbro Galway Cup at Salthill Devon's Drom Soccer Park. The Slaneysiders put on a brilliant display of attacking football, scoring a remarkable 20 goals in five matches, and were equally as impressive at the back, conceding none. Their achievement is all the more noteworthy when you consider that this is the county Under-14 team and they were up against players a year older. Manager Tommy Byrne has enjoyed tremendous success with this talented squad of players over the past three years.
