Richie Power says he expects former Clare boss Davy Fitzgerald's full focus to be on a potential Leinster Championship meeting with Kilkenny in June when his Wexford side meets the Cats in the league quarter final this weekend. Power said, “Personally, I don’t see Davy Fitz putting out a full-strength side. Maybe I’m wrong. He has achieved what he wanted to achieve: He has got Wexford promoted. “Davy’s focus [assuming they win the Leinster quarter-final] will be on Wexford Park and that Leinster semi-final date with Kilkenny on that Saturday evening in June."
