Clare goalkeeper Eibhear Quilligan celebrates his side's first goal, scored by team-mate Cathal Malone, during their clash against Wexford at Semple Stadium. Fitzgerald took over Wexford just 16 days after he ended his tenure as Clare manager in 2016. Claims of unfair online and press abuse were mixed with an offer to mend relations with Brian Lohan. Clare brought on David McInerney for Fitzpatrick at half-time and he made a vital interception when Chin was moving in on the Clare goal in the 58th minute. Wexford: L Chin 1-12 (9f, 1 ‘65); C Dunbar 0-5; D O’Keeffe 1-0; R O’Connor, C McDonald 0-2 each; L McGovern 0-1.
