Murphy into midfield Wexford's only change for Carlow clash

The Oulart man is promoted at the expense of David Redmond.

WEXFORD HURLING BOSS Liam Dunne has made just one change to his side to face Carlow in this weekend’s first qualifying phase match against Carlow.

Wexford fell to Dublin in their last outing, the Leinster quarter-final replay, and will hope the addition of Oulart’s Shaun Murphy can kick-start a run in the Championship.

Murphy comes into the side in midfield alongside Harry Kehoe with David Redmond pushed to the bench. Fullback Keith Rossiter’s return to injury looks promising as he is named in reserve for the Saturday evening clash at Wexford Park.

Wexford hurling team v Carlow: Mark Fleming, Eoin Moor, Tomas Waters, Bobby Kenny, Richie Kehoe, Michael O’Regan, Ciaran Kenny; Harry Kehoe, Shaun Murphy;  Jack Guiney, Garret Sinnott (capt.), Lee Chin, Paul Morris, Rory Jacob, Podge Doran.

Substitutes: Niall Breen, James Tonks, Eoin Doyle, Stephen Murphy, David Redmond, ,Gary Moore, Willie Devereux, Ciaran O’Shaughnessy, Eoin Quigley, PJ Nolan, Keith Rossiter,  Eanna Martin, Andrew Kenny, Stephen Nolan,  Benny Jordan, Ricky Fox.
