Darragh Egan's side will be playing for their survival in the senior ranks this weekend.
FROM REACHING the All-Ireland semi-final in 2019 to being on the verge of dropping to the Joe McDonagh Cup, the Wexford hurlers are now in fight or flight territory.
The terms of that showdown in Wexford Park are simple: Win and they will retain their senior status for another year. If they lose and Antrim beat Westmeath, then Wexford will play in the Joe McDonagh Cup in 2024. A draw for Westmeath would even be enough for Wexford in that scenario. Not to take away from Westmeath resolve, but Wexford’s errors contributed to their demise too. Local Westmeath reporter Gerry Buckley told The 42 this week that when there was a sniff of a Westmeath comeback, Wexford went hunting for goals “when maybe a cuter team might have just tapped over points.”
That’s enough to secure qualification to the All-Ireland stages and they tend to perform reasonably well on that stage. They were six points clear against Clare with 11 minutes remaining in their All-Ireland quarter-final last year, but eventually lost out by four. Another fumble when a Wexford victory was within reach.
