‘We’re fighting to ensure that Wexford supporters have two teams to follow’
“But if we wanted to gauge progress, this was the ideal opportunity. We drew one, won one and lost one but we were doing things right for slightly longer in each game. That’s progress.”
“Right the way back to when I played, the teams in the championship that were successful were together two, three, even four months longer in the old system. If you were a team like Wexford, trying to make progress, you always felt each year that you were starting farther and farther behind the best counties.
Starting off last autumn with the county footballers, he and his management were conscious of the need to get the county behind the team. “When we came in, we were keen to try to develop that base support – to bring people back to football. There was a time, maybe a decade ago when the footballers were regularly performing well into the championship, culminating in the 2008 All-Ireland semi-final.
“People looking in would say,” according to Hegarty, “that Meath are one of the traditional stronger powers in football – and that Wexford is a hurling county. Since the 2000s, though, we would never have feared Meath.”
