Wexford are already assured of qualification for the knockout stages, but one of three things could happen:
- Finish top of the group: advance directly to a home quarter-final
- Finish second: advance to a home preliminary quarter-final
- Finish third: advance to an away preliminary quarter-final
With Carlow likely to beat Longford in Sunday’s other match, the aim for our team will be to beat Fermanagh by a margin no less than five points fewer than Carlow beat Longford by.
Or in simpler terms – score a big enough win, and Wexford will finish top of the group!
