A Perfect Match – The Special Reason One Wexford Player Is Missing This Weekend’s Championship Opener

Summer is in the air and that can only mean one thing in GAA circles – championship season. For Wexford ladies football veteran Sharon Kehoe though, she will have to give this weekend’s Leinster Championship opener against London a miss – for a very special reason. The talented footballer, who made her debut for the county back in 1999, will be walking up the aisle this weekend to tie the knot with partner Gary Cloner - which of course, rules her out of the game. “I had a little anxiety over it for a while - not the wedding,” she laughed. “But missing the match! “I just couldn’t time the date right, but sure that’s how it goes.” Despite missing the game, Sharon is hugely excited about Wexford’s prospects on Sunday. “I’ve every faith in the girls that they can come back with the right result, if everything goes well on the day, hopefully we will be looking forward to a semi-final against Kildare in a few weeks.”
