Team news: Tyrone and Wexford set for Drogheda battle in TG4 All-Ireland intermediate quarter-final

Saturday August 6: TG4 All Ireland Intermediate Quarter Final 2 – ET if necessary

Tyrone v Wexford, 2.00pm, O’Raghallaighs, Drogheda, Louth

 

Tyrone’s form en route to the quarter-finals can be firmly placed in the ‘ominous’ bracket.

The Red Hands enjoyed comfortable victories over Wicklow and Offaly in Group 2 to sail into the quarter-finals.

Last year’s runners-up now have their eyes firmly set on Croke Park again and standing in their way next are Wexford.

The Slaneysiders should not be under-estimated, however, as they were one of Tipperary’s big challengers in 2017, before the Premier County defeated Tyrone at Croke Park last September.

Wexford emerged second from Group 3, coined the ‘Group of Death’ as it was the only four-team pool in the intermediate qualifiers.

Wexford are reigning Lidl Division 3 champions also and Anthony Masterson’s side will prove a tough nut for Tyrone to crack.
