Leinster SHC Table (After Round 2):
So far in the Leinster Senior Hurling Championship, Wexford have drawn one (to Dublin) and lost one (to Antrim) from their opening two rounds. Meanwhile, Galway have won 1 (against Carlow) and drawn their most recent match in Salthill with Kilkenny.
A win for Wexford against Galway this weekend will see them fighting for a place in the top three. Essentially, it’s a game that will define if they have a say in the remainder of the Championship. A loss to Galway will set up a relegation battle with Carlow in Round 4 in Dr. Cullen Park.
