Wexford eye home Cats date

HISTORY will be made should Wexford qualify for this year’s Leinster senior hurling semi-final, as they would entertain Kilkenny in Wexford Park for the first time in the championship.

Wexford entered into a home and an away agreement last year with several counties, with the Model County hosting Offaly in the opening round of the championship. Having sought out an agreement with the reigning provincial champions, Wexford have now received a home fixture should they reach that stage.

Wexford must first face the winners of Laois and Antrim, who meet at O’Moore Park, Portlaoise, on May 14. Wexford will play the winners of that clash on May 29, with a tie against Antrim taking place in Wexford Park, while a Laois victory would see the game played at O’Moore Park.
