Slow start a cause for concern for Davy

Wexford manager Davy Fitzgerald during the Walsh Cup final

Wexford boss Davy Fitzgerald has a few creases to iron out ahead of next weekend's Allianz HL opener against Waterford.

Speaking to RTE Sport following today's action-packed Walsh Cup final win over Kilkenny, Fitzgerald wasn't happy with his team's slow start to the contest.

He pointed out that goalkeeper Mark Fanning came to their rescue on more than one occasion during the early exchanges.

"In the first 20 minutes, Mark Fanning made two or three incredible saves so we could have been down 13 or 14 points, we were absolutely pathetic.

"If we start that way against Waterford (next week in the Allianz League), we'll be out the door and gone - we'll be hammered."

"We can't afford to start that lackadaisical; we did it against Dublin last week."
