Davy Fitzgerald believes Wexford were primed to show ‘serious’ form last summer and has revealed how the delayed inter-county schedule made a ‘massive difference’ to his team’s fitness.

The 2019 Leinster champions displayed strong Allianz League form with four wins from five, but when action resumed later in the year they lost both of their Championship matches, to Galway and Clare.
