The obituaries for Wexford's championship campaign were written after the Model County slipped up in Mullingar.

Once we can get our lads to realise that, we'll be in really good stead because we are building a panel. They have shown it over the last few years. "Once we came out of Mullingar last Saturday we parked it. They were hurt after coming out of Mullingar last Saturday evening." Lots of the journalists and lots of the papers and lots of Wexford people were probably a bit sore over it but as a collective we knew we were seven days from coming into Nowlan Park for our last championship match. We were always going to have to come to Nowlan Park and get something," said Egan.
