It matters if you make it matter
Wexford and Laois in the league quarter-finals, huh? It’s like it’s 1996 all over again. With one slight change. League quarter-finals rarely made a whole lot of difference back then. They can make a whole lot of difference now. They matter all right.
Tomorrow’s fixtures matter to Wexford and Laois because they give them a floor to show that, if they can’t quite beat the big boys, then at least they’re within hailing distance of them once more. The one in Portlaoise matters to the Clare players, the established lads as well as the aspirants, because they have championship places to strive for. The one in Wexford matters to Brian Cody because even games of backs and forwards matter to Brian Cody.
