All you need to know ahead of the Wexford vs Antrim Tailteann Cup clash

Wexford have been drawn against Antrim.

Where?

It’s a home clash and will be taking place in Wexford Park.

When is it on?

It’s Sunday, 8th June at 1pm.

What’s it in?

Wexford will take on Antrim in the Tailteann Cup preliminary quarter-final. A win for either side will of course see them advance into the quarter-final stages. However, it will also be the last game of the season for one of these teams, with extra-time if necesary.
