All-Ireland medal winner Rory McCarthy has confirmed that he won't be coming back to the Wexford side for the championship after sitting out the National League.
Two other stalwarts of the Model County's hurling side Declan Ruth and Mitch Jordan had already confirmed that they had retired from the inter-county scene but the loss of the experienced McCarthy will be another body blow to John Meyler's efforts to get relegated Wexford back into contention with the big powers.
Richie Kehoe also elected to head off to the US for the summer and with a host of young players also refusing to join the senior panel Wexford's chances in this year's Leinster championship look poorer than they have been for a long time and it's hard to see anyone in the province even give the Cats a good game.
A weakened Wexford, given also the state of play in Offaly, is not good for hurling in Leinster and despite the improvement in the fortunes of Dublin it has become way too predictable.
