Wexford v Roscommon: THEY SAY great managers are lucky managers

Wexford v Roscommon:THEY SAY great managers are lucky managers. Jason Ryan hasn't reached that pinnacle in only his second season as an inter-county bainisteoir but after a terrible league and limping out of Leinster, they got a first competitive win of the season against Offaly last weekend.

Roscommon were humiliated by Mayo, and Fergal O’Donnell has made seven changes, two enforced with David Casey and Karol Mannion out injured.

Wexford to breeze through.
