Stronger bench should give Tipp the edge
Though Wexford did manage to reach the Leinster final, they had a poor Leinster campaign. They struggled to beat Dublin in the semi-final and had to rely on a late injury-time long-distance pointed free from Barry Lambert to squeeze through. Then came the Leinster final, another meeting with old rivals Kilkenny, another battering, to such an extent that first-year manager John Meyler was moved to offer an apology to the Wexford fans in the aftermath.
No apologies from John to former team captain Nigel Higgins, however who was dropped altogether from the panel after showing up late for training a couple of weeks ago.
