Well done to Roisin Noctor who represented Wexford in Croke Park last Saturday in the half time match. Also to Lorcan Browne who managed the boys team in their half time game. Both teams won. Congratulations to Niall Hughes too on his first experience in Croke park. No doubt he shall play there often for club and county.
