Leinster Senior Hurling Championship

Offaly v Wexford, Bord Na Mona O'Connor Park, 5pm

There has been nothing wrong with Offaly's attitude or application in the opening two rounds, but Kevin Martin's side still suffered defeats against Galway and Kilkenny.

Wexford, with Rory O'Connor and Harry Kehoe landing sweet late points, eventually shrugged off Dublin's spirited resistance last Sunday.

That was a hugely important win for Wexford, who will be wary of the threat Offaly could pose in Tullamore.

Martin has Offaly working hard for the Faithful cause, but if relegation is to be avoided they need to take a prized scalp.

Having made such progress in the past 18 months Wexford will want to put two more points in the account before matches with Galway and Kilkenny.
