WEXFORD MANAGER Colm Bonnar has announced an unchanged selection for the critical National Hurling League Division Two match with Offaly in Wexford Park this Sunday.

The fixture will go a long way to sorting out the top of the Division Two table.

A win for Offaly will leave Joe Dooley's team assured of reaching the divisional final, which will also determine which county is promoted to Division One.

Should Wexford win, the battle for promotion will go to the last weekend of the season. Antrim, who face Laois, are in a position to exploit any slip-up by Wexford although they will have to face Offaly in the last match of the season.

Offaly will be missing full back David Kenny. He picked up a hamstring injury during last weekend's win over Laois and has been ruled out of what will be a dress-rehearsal for this year's Leinster championship first round tie at the same venue.

Wing back Diarmuid Horan is due to undergo surgery this week to correct a hip injury that has forced him to miss most of the league to date.

At the foot of the table a win for Westmeath in Kerry will consign the home side to relegation.

WEXFORD (NHL v Offaly): D Fitzhenry; M Travers, D O'Connor, A O'Connell; M Jacob, S Nolan, D Stamp; C Farrell, C Kenny; D Lyng (Capt.), A Shore, P Carley; R Jacob, S Banville, D Redmond.
