Ger Cushe: Wexford's top-tier status could hinge on Galway visit

Wexford's 1996 All-Ireland winning full-back Ger Cushe has said the county's season “hinges” on Saturday’s game against Galway, and that if they fail to beat the Tribesmen at home, “we will be under severe pressure to hang onto Liam MacCarthy status”.

Wexford’s shock defeat to Antrim last weekend, following as it did the point dropped at home to Dublin the Saturday previous, has the Model County looking down, rather than up, for the second season in succession.
