How are Wexford ahead of the clash?

It’s not good news for Keith Rossiter and the Wexford Senior hurling team. Already facing an uphill battle against last year’s All-Ireland finalists, Rossiter has been dealt some major blows who are ruled out of the Cork clash. They include Conor McDonald, Lee Chin, Liam Ryan, Damien Reck, Jack O’Connor and also the trio of Matt O’Hanlon, Dee O’Keeffe, and Liam OgMcGovern that retired ahead of the season. It’s expected that an experimental side will be playing the clash, but make no mistake that they will be eager to impress the management team. Read more about the injuries here.
