LIAM DUNNE is demanding another run through the All-Ireland Qualifiers by his Wexford hurlers after the “huge disappointment” of Nowlan Park.

“To be a player and to go through that, well there are two ways you can go: either lie down and die, or come back with a bit of a fight,” the Wexford supremo said.

As for the Kilkenny match itself, he lamented that Wexford were always on the back-foot after conceding three first-half goals while enjoying benefit of the wind.

“In fairness, we had two chances of goals in the first-half, but Kilkenny stopped them, and really we needed to take every chance, but it didn’t happen.

“We looked to push on early in the second-half, but then the floodgates just opened-up, and Kilkenny were magnificent at creating space whereas we looked to be in a bunch all the time.

“I thought we had prepared really well, but obviously we didn’t; we missed something somewhere, and no better team to put you to the sword than Kilkenny. They really shored-up their defence brilliantly and were by far the superior team.

“The game was well over after 15 minutes of the second-half, and it was damage-limitation for us after that.”
