Mon 04 Apr 2007A surprise return of vintage WexfordWexford 1-16 Galway 0-14:Typical of Wexford to play tricks again just when it seemed they'd gone quiet. Maybe it had something to do with the undeniable summer air of Nowlan Park, but this was almost vintage Wexford - blocking, harrying, frustrating their opposition until, given the circumstances, they completed a quite astonishing victory.So against all predictions they progress to next Sunday's semi-final against Kilkenny, and suddenly that appears far more attractive that anyone could have imagined in recent weeks.
