Wexford need to get over it

Counties playing in the same leagues as the Cork hurlers and footballers have every reason to feel miffed given that the Rebels should have been thrown out of the competitions rather than simply docked points, which will affect the shape of those competitions, but I think Wexford’s hurlers need to get over it.
They are set to appeal their relegation to Division 2 yet again and for me it all smacks of sour grapes and a complete waste of time.
Wexford played Dublin in the league and only managed a draw and were indeed lucky to salvage a point.
Both they and Dublin were among the three sides who did manage to play Cork, both losing by small margins.
If the Dubs hadn’t played Cork then I believe the Model County would have had a lot of justification for an appeal, as it is I don’t think they have a leg to stand on.
They should get on with the business of preparing for the championship and improving the standard of hurling in the county.
The continued appeal does no one any favours or credit.
