Records tumble as Wexford players dominate Leinster championship
Last year’s record haul of 14 Leinster 60×30 adult titles has been smashed as the magnificent handballers of Wexford continue to enjoy unprecedented success across a whole plethora of grades and age groups writes AOB. The catalyst for the success is undoubtedly the massive programme of domestic activity promoted by the County Committee, which is designed to bring the very best out of the players ahead of the provincial championships.
The Wexford championships are formatted so that players get a lot of games and with the competitions run on a league basis more players remain in contention for longer periods. This means more competitive games in all grades and results in fitter and better players when the Leinster championships come around.
