Ordinarily this would be a great trip. Been down a couple of times in recent years to see the hurlers and enjoyed both occasions - one Saturday night, one on Sunday. Enniscorthy by-pass open now too so it would have taken that bothersome bottleneck out.
In fairness Wexford were the last team in Leinster to trouble us really - during the Jason Ryan years. In 2010 they took us to extra time and were 7 points up at one stage! We were awful that day ... and v Meath ... and Tipp! Played badly in 2011 too and got out of jail with two quick goals (one og) to win by a goal. In 2012 we were three points down at half time and Dermo got sent off early in the 2nd half but a Maxi goal saw us home by 4 with Wexford kicking 9 second half wides.
We beat them by 23 points in 2008 but they recovered to beat Down and Armagh to reach the All Ireland semi finals. That was a good Wexford team with quality forwards like Redmond Barry, PJ Banville and Mattie Forde.
Alas Davy and hurling have taken over and its business as usual in the Model County with football very much the poor relation. I expect us to win well but hat tip to the Yellow Bellies of a decade or so ago - they certainly punched above their weight.
