Wexford pulled off an amazing victory as their 14-point winning margin sent them through to the second phase with Offaly dumped into the relegation zone.

PAUL FLYNN makes his first competitive appearance for Waterford since the All-Ireland semi final seven months ago in their crucial NHL tie against Galway at Pearse Stadium on Sunday.

Wexford Manager John Conran has made nine changes in his side following last Sunday’s rout at the hands of Tipperary for their forthcoming clash with Limerick in their Division 1B national hurling league game at Wexford Park.

DESPITE the comprehensive win nature of their side’s victory over Offaly in the opening round, the Tipperary selectors have made six changes for next Saturday’s meeting with Munster rivals Limerick in the Allianz NHL at Thurles.
