A NUMBER of Wexford players were members of the Napier University (Edinburgh) squad which won the Fergal Maher Cup last weekend.
The competition was held in conjunction with the Fitzgibbon Cup in Dangan in Galway, with the Scottish outfit having won their place in the competition by recorded victories against fellow university sides across the water prior to Christmas.
In the semi-final, Napier University forge an 8-13 to 0-11 win over Marino (Dublin) in a game played in Athenry.
In the final in Dangan on Saturday, the Edinburgh side came out on top by 4-14 to 1-12 against Dundalk I.T., only managing to pull away in the closing ten minutes after an excellent game.
