Where are the boys of Wexford?

I am shocked that as many as 22 young players were not prepared to join the Wexford hurling panel despite being approached.
It is usually every young player's dream to play for their county and there is no greater honour than to pull on the jersey of a county like Wexford which has a proud hurling tradition.
The Model County is not at the races at the moment and can probably expect no better than another whipping this year at the hands of the Cats but sometimes even a couple of players can add a competitive edge to a squad taking them to bigger and better things.
The Wexford management team around John Meyler have to be really concerned at this reluctance of young men to throw their cards in with the county team.
It doesn't bode well for Wexford that young players are opting not to play for the county and it robs the Leinster championship of any prospect that the Cats' reign will end anytime in the near future.
