MODEL MOULD Wexford GAA clarify future of football and hurling managers Keith Rossiter and John Hegarty
WEXFORD gaffers Keith Rossiter and John Hegarty are to stay in their posts.
Following the August meeting of the county board, both men will be put forward for ratification to remain in charge for 2026.

While Hegarty will do likewise with the Model footballers
It will be a third season at the helm for hurling chief Rossiter, whose side failed to advance from the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship as a result of defeats to Dublin and Galway.
Football boss Hegarty is in line for his fourth year in the hotseat, which will see the Models compete in NFL Division 3, after achieving promotion in March.
Hegarty's side were the first team to be promoted in 2025, with two league matches to spare.
Meanwhile in other hurling news, Tommy Walsh's involvement with Kilkenny in 2026 is in doubt after he suffered a suspected anterior cruciate knee ligament injury.
The Tullaroan man, 27, was forced off in the first half of last weekend's win over Clara.
Walsh, who made his senior debut for the Cats in 2019, started in four of their seven Championship matches this year.
The six-time Leinster SHC winner now looks set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines, though the defender can take inspiration from Nickie Quaid.
Limerick keeper Quaid sustained a similar injury last November, only to return in time for their Munster opener in April.
