Dublin v Wexford

Dublin return to Wexford Park this evening looking to bounce back from their league relegation, but they will be forewarned about their awkward opponents ...

Please review their details and accept them to load the content. As a team they work really hard to get bodies back and protect the central channel in front of goal. The wind will present a whole new set of challenges in each half for kick-outs and free-takers. There needs to be evidence of the improvement this weekend. In last year’s game, Wexford conceded kick-outs to Dublin. This allowed them extra time to set-up further back the pitch and ensured that they would not be stretched defensively. After the Offaly win they are in bonus territory, nothing to lose now. Committing enough players to each attack but not so many that they would be left exposed at the back. A v B games in training must have been spicy and heated over the five weeks since relegation last month. The scores were level in the 47th minute. These experienced players would have been the main drivers in training sessions since the Monaghan loss. Wexford will be looking to build on an excellent team performance and victory against Offaly last Saturday. It wasn’t all plain sailing for Dublin, no goals scored and the narrowest winning margin in Leinster Championship for them since 2013.
