Wind the clock back 30 years or so, and Wexford almost couldn’t help getting to League finals.
They lost the ‘home’ final to Kilkenny in 1990, the last of its kind, the final proper to Offaly in 1991 and then there were three memorable clashes with Cork in 1993 before the Leesiders edged them out in a second replay.
Losing finals was a painful habit for Wexford at the time. They lost two League finals in the 1980s too and since their previous Leinster title win in 1977, they had lost six provincial finals and there would be another loss after a replay in 1993 to Kilkenny.
