WEXFORD supporters came out in their thousands this evening to welcome home three sets of heroes following a successful day in Leinster for the model county.

There was also success for the intermediate ladies football team who defeated Meath 1-11 to 1-8 in Dr Cullen Park in Carlow.
On a gloriously sunny evening at Innovate Wexford Park, fans took to the pitch to bask in their heroes' glory.
"Hands down the best supporters in Ireland, the players inspiring the next generation and being inspired themselves by OUR people," Selector JJ Doyle wrote.
Celebrations have been rife in the south east with video footage showing fans lining the streets of Camolin, Ferns, Gorey and Wexford town to welcome home the Leinster champions.
Yesterday marked Wexford's best Leinster championship day since 1970, the last time they won the senior and minor titles in the one season.
