“I was lucky enough to be playing underage football when Wexford was going really well so I had a lot of really good role models to look up to,” says Model skipper O’Connor. “We have potential to reach that level again and I think the Tailteann Cup is a great chance to bridge the gap from where we are now and where we want to bring Wexford football.
“Obviously it helps when times are going bad if they get around us and show us that support that we will come on that bit more. But it’s completely up to ourselves, if we want that support we’ve got to start putting in the results and performances.” “The league didn’t necessarily go too great for him either and he didn’t start every game. But his drive and will to push on is admirable and a lot of the lads still look up to him. The younger lads and forwards coming in have to look and see what he is doing. He has his body in really good shape so hopefully we get a few more years out of him.
“Going into it is Division 4 and 4 teams, so you wouldn’t fear any team. We see it as a really competitive competition. We’re going well in training everyone is in good spirits and really looking forward to it.
