Is it important?

Wexford were relegated from Division 1A last year. If Wexford are serious about retaining their status in the top tier (Division 1A), then a win against Antrim at home is a must. Wexford’s two toughest clashes will come against Dublin and Clare, both of which are away matches for Wexford. It’s also an important game for many Wexford individuals, who are likely to be making their debut for the youthful and inexperienced Wexford Senior hurling side.

It’s the first Allianz League game of the season – and Wexford will be wanting to start it off on a positive note during a time when the conversations surrounding the hurling team are at a low ebb. Wexford’s former manager, Davy Fitzgerald, will be on the sidelines again for the visiting outfit and he’ll view this as one that the Saffrons can win.

What are the betting odds?

Despite the fact that Wexford will be missing some key players, and that Wexford will be starting with a youthful and inexperienced side, the bookies still view the hosts as strong favourites. Wexford enter the clash as 4/11 favourites, the draw can be secured at 9/1, while an Antrim win is priced at 5/2.

What’s the Wexford team?

The Wexford team will be named here once released to the media.
