The value of turning periods of ascendency into scores on the board was the big lesson to Wexford and Antrim in Saturday evening’s Littlewoods Ireland Camogie League Division Two final at Croke Park.
Antrim were arguably the more impressive side for three quarters of the game, but Wexford’s blistering start ensured that it will be the Model County who will play their camogie against the top counties in the Spring of 2023 following their 3-12 to 0-14 victory.
Just 17 seconds had expired when the sliotar rolled across the Antrim goal line, courtesy of a close range flick from Aoife Guiney, and before the game was 15 minutes old, further green flags had been added by Ciara O’Connor and Leah Walsh, leaving Wexford nine points to the good.
