Wexford’s opening game in the Tailteann Cup has been fixed for Saturday, May 11 in Markievicz Park, Sligo at 3 p.m.

The beaten Connacht semi-finalists will have home advantage for the Group 2 clash, while Antrim will host Tipperary in Corrigan Park, Belfast on Sunday, May 12 at 2 p.m.

Wexford will be at home to Antrim on May 18-19 and, while redevelopment work on Chadwicks Wexford Park is due to begin in the near future, it is still the County Board’s intention to stage this game at the main county ground.
