Wexford not just there to make up the numbers

WEXFORD fans will want to take more home from Croke Park this afternoon than the memory of a first ever championship meeting against Armagh.

At the very least, they will expect Jason Ryan and his players to put up a decent challenge against a team which is considerably more experienced and which, predictably, go in as strong favourites.

Of the three quarter-finals this weekend, this is the one which could produce an upset. It’s improbable, but not beyond the bounds of possibility. Wexford’s confidence will have been boosted considerably by their impressive win over Down and a repeat of this form would see them put up a serious challenge at the very least.
