Wexford second county to pull out of provincial club football series

Wexford have emerged as the second county to have no representation in this year’s provincial club football series due to a backlog of games.

The Irish Examiner yesterday revealed the Tipperary football champions will be unable to fulfil the Munster quarter-final fixture against Kerry representatives on the weekend of November 8/9, and a leading Wexford official has confirmed their senior competition will not be finished in time for the winners to compete in the Leinster campaign.

The Wexford representatives are pencilled in to meet the Laois champions on Sunday, November 2. The Leinster Council have agreed to postpone the fixture by one week, subject to approval from the other 10 counties, but Wexford chiefs believe it will prove insufficient leeway.
