Wexford wary of Antrim

THERE is absolutely no fear of Wexford taking Ulster champions Antrim for granted in their Guinness All-Ireland hurling quarter-final in Croke Park next Sunday.

“You have only to go back to last year to see how much of a soft touch they were supposed to be then. They nearly caught Tipp,” comments experienced defender Liam Dunne. “We were not given much chance of beating Waterford. Now we will be ‘blown up’ in the papers. It will be interesting to see how we handle that and the loss of Darragh Ryan and Adrian Fenlon.

“Our backs were to the wall after the Leinster final, but we knew it was going to be a battle last week-end.
