Wexford’s late surge overpowers Offaly

Wexford 1-24 Offaly 1-15

Unlike last year, Wexford are putting a strong emphasis on the Walsh Cup as they continue to introduce new faces.

However, Offaly were first to make a mark, and inside three minutes they were 0-3 to 0-0 in front through Brian Carroll, Joe Bergin and Shane Dooley (free). The home side gradually settled, getting back level 0-3 apiece by the ninth minute with points from Eoin Doyle, Gary Moore (free) and Harry Kehoe out of midfield.
