Doyle says Wexford have no fear of Rebels

While Cork have had to win four games to reach tomorrow’s All-Ireland IHC final at Nowlan Park (3pm), their opponents Wexford have had just one.

With only the Model County and Kilkenny in Leinster, the provincial final on July 23 was effectively an All-Ireland semi-final. While manager Larry Doyle admits there is a slight element of going into the unknown as a result, he sees no reason to fear the Rebels.

“We were saying it amongst ourselves,” he said, “if Kilkenny were going to play Cork in the final, I’m sure they’d be expecting to win.
