In a strong all-round performance, WWETB ran out convincing winners on a 3-18 to 1-13 scoreline, pulling away from their Kilkenny opponents to secure the title.

There was notable Wexford involvement in the success, with a large contingent of players contributing to the victory. Wexford GAA also highlighted this strong representation on their Instagram page, acknowledging the role played by the county’s players in the triumph.

Among those involved were Conor Scallan (Ferns St. Aidans), Kevin Breen (St. Anne’s Rathangan), Shane O’Hanlon (Horeswood), John Tubritt (St. Mogue’s Fethard), Páidí Foley (Crossabeg/Ballymurn), Peter Rowley (Oylegate-Glenbrien), Alan Walsh (St. James’), Jason Rossiter (Oulart-The Ballagh), Tomás Murphy (St. Brigid’s Blackwater), Cian McCormack (Oulart-The Ballagh), Martin Óg Storey (Oulart-The Ballagh), James Kenny (Naomh Éanna), Arnie Murphy (Shelmaliers), Rory Scallan (Ferns St. Aidans), Luke Murphy (Faythe Harriers), Liam Cooney (Glynn-Barntown), David Shore (Davidstown-Courtnacuddy), Shane Murphy (Our Lady’s Island), Jason Kirwan (Oulart-The Ballagh) and Eoin Wright (St. Fintan’s).

Meanwhile, the management team included Dean O’Connor (Oulart-The Ballagh), Eamon Scallan (Ferns St. Aidans), Pat McGrath (Horeswood), Ben Cowman (Ferns St. Aidans) and Garry Conroy (Oylegate-Glenbrien).
