Wexford People
Wexford emerged victorious from the first-ever south-east derby in the SSE Airtricity Women's Premier Division in Ferrycarrig Park on Saturday, as goals from Della Doherty and Millie Daly saw them move up to fourth in the table.
Seán Byrne's side are now unbeaten in five, winning four of them, as they look up the table at just Athlone, Shelbourne and Galway United ahead of them. They face a struggling Cork City next and with Galway travelling to Tolka Park, there's every chance a win will move Wexford into third.

Tailteann Cup previews: Offaly steeled for clash with New York and eyeing up outright success
Saturday Offaly v New York, O'Connor Park, 2pm (Live on GAA+) New York gave a decent account of themselves in their Connacht SFC defeat to Galway in April but, if nothing else, that display should have forewarned and forearmed Offaly in advance of this clash. Offaly suffered a defeat to London in this competition last year, so that should also steel the Faithful. Offaly have enjoyed a positive season in which they secured promotion from Division Three in the league and this is a team eyeing up outright Tailteann Cup success. Verdict: Offaly Westmeath v Laois, Cusack Park, 5pm (Live on GAA+) Laois have been a real Jekyll-and-Hyde outfit during the Tailteann Cup. They beat Waterford, lost to Wicklow and then staged a last-gasp comeback to overcome Offaly. It's hard to know what to expect from them on any given day. Westmeath lost to Limerick by the minimum last weekend but Dermot McCabe's side were impressive winners over Antrim and London. And though relegated from Division Two, Westmeath did still spend the spring operating at a higher level than Laois, who finished just above the drop zone in Division Three. Verdict: Westmeath Sunday Wexford v Antrim, Wexford Park, 1.30pm Wexford need to put the disappointment of last week's defeat to Fermanagh behind them immediately and rediscover the form that propelled them to promotion from Division Four this season. Andy McEntee's Antrim are probably fortunate to have made the knock-out stages of the competition after some indifferent displays, but a long trip to Wexford could mark the end of the road for the Saffrons in 2025. Verdict: Wexford Sligo v Carlow, Tubbercurry, 2pm Carlow's defeat to Longford last weekend was one of the big surprise results of the round three fixtures. Longford had nothing left to play for but pride while Carlow had the chance to top their group and advance directly to the quarter-finals, so coming up short and delivering such a lacklustre display has to be a concern for the Barrowsiders. Sligo lost to Tailteann Cup favourites Kildare last weekend but the Yeats County look a better-balanced side than Carlow. Verdict: Sligo READ MORE
