Shane, Michael and Willie Maher talk about the relegation battle involving Wexford heading into the final round of the Leinster hurling championship.

WEXFORD v KILKENNY
Kilkenny (7pts) have qualified for the All-Ireland stages and are virtually certain to qualify for the Leinster final, irrespective if they win, lose or draw on Sunday.

Wexford are battling against relegation as a defeat by Kilkenny and a win for Antrim over Westmeath would see them drop to Joe McDonagh Cup level next year.

LAST FIVE CHAMPIONSHIP MEETINGS
2022: Wexford 1-22 Kilkenny 1-18 (Leinster ‘round robin’)
2021: Kilkenny 2-37 Wexford 2-29 aet (Leinster semi-final)
