WEXFORD HAVE REQUESTED their All-Ireland quarter-final tie with Clare next weekend is played on Sunday, due to the county hosting Féile na nGael on Saturday.
Wexford overcame the challenge of Laois in today’s preliminary quarter-final game in Portlaoise. Keith Rossiter’s side got the job done with their 0-32 to 0-20 victory at Laois Hire O’Moore Park.
And with that result setting up a quarter-final tie against Clare, they have requested the fixture be changed.

The hurling quarter-finals had been fixed for Saturday 22 June with throw-in times of 1.15pm and 3.15pm, but the details now have to be confirmed by the GAA.
All-Ireland SHC Prelim. Q/Final Wexford 0-32 Laois 0-20 FULL TIME
It’s all over, and we go through to play Clare in the quarter-final. That match is currently scheduled for next Saturday, but we'll be making every effort possible to have it changed to Sunday, on account of how…
The Tailteann Cup semi-finals are pencilled in for next Sunday as a standalone double-header. Down will play Sligo, while Antrim take on the winners of Kildare and Laois, who play tomorrow.
Laois were today attempting to bounce back from last week’s Joe McDonagh Cup final loss but were unable to replicate their famous sucess at this stage of the championship five years ago against Dublin.
Wexford were ahead 0-18 to 0-11 at half-time and maintained their control on the game from there.
Main men up front pointed the way with Lee Chin (0-11), Conor McDonald (0-5) and Rory O’Connor (0-3) all scoring for Wexford, while Aaron Dunphy top scored with 0-14 for Laois.
They will face the Banner in a repeat of their quarter-final clash from 2022 which saw Clare win out 1-24 to 3-17.
