Johnny Crowley wary of Wexford backlash

Cork hurling selector Johnny Crowley is expecting a “huge backlash” from Wexford in their first round qualifier meeting on July 4.

The Rebels were handed the toughest assignment of yesterday’s hurling qualifier draw - an away fixture against Liam Dunne’s side, and Crowley has rubbished suggestions they will encounter a fragile Wexford outfit on Saturday fortnight.

Wexford were 24-points adrift of Kilkenny in Sunday’s Leinster semi-final clash at Nowlan Park and Crowley believes atonement will be top of the Model agenda when Cork roll into town.
