Nothing bar a top level performance for Wexford against Cork will be good enough to see them into the All-Ireland SHC quarterfinal, according to their manager Liam Dunne.

A resounding win over Offaly last weekend has earned the Model County a place in the last eight of this year's All-Ireland SHC.

On Saturday, they will head for Semple Stadium, where they meet a Cork side that defeated Dublin in the last round.

The Dubs recorded a comfortable win over Wexford in the Leinster SHC and Dunne admitted to the Wexford People that this is another step up in class for them.

"We just have to bring our 'A' game, focus on our own game, and bring the challenge to Cork. All three teams wanted to draw Wexford. Now Cork have us and it's up to us to prove a point," said Dunne.

"Cork have four forwards if given space, who can punish us, Patrick Horgan, Seamus Harnedy, Conor Lehane and Alan Cadogan, but we have forwards who can punish them.

"This is a game that's not going to be won by any one individual battle; it's a game that's going to be won all over the field.

"It's a good draw; it's going to be an interesting game. If we're not disciplined Patrick Horgan will punish us."
