These counties are current provincial champions in Connacht and Leinster and brimming with confidence.
Indeed, at the All-Ireland quarter-final stage, Leitrim and Wexford were pitted with Roscommon and Westmeath again in provincial final repeat pairings.
Results on the day went the way of Leitrim and Wexford again. Now both sides find themselves just a step away from Croke Park.
The sense of motivation in both camps ahead of Sunday is huge. Wexford were beaten semi-finalists last year, and they contested the 2021 and 2022 Finals, losing out on both occasions.
Whereas, The Slaneysiders have been knocking hard at the door in recent times in the quest for the Mary Quinn Memorial Cup, a trophy named after the late Mary Quinn, from Aughawillan in Leitrim.
This is a competition that Leitrim have won back in 2007 (when they beat Wexford in the final). Whereas, Wexford have yet to taste All-Ireland Intermediate glory.
Leitrim: M Monaghan; E Quigley, C Tyrrell, C Owens; S Reynolds, K Bruen, E Bruen; N Tighe, M Guckian (c); O Flynn, L O’Dowd, M Devaney; A Clancy, S Quinn, Á Redican.
Wexford: S McCarthy; K English, M Byrne, S Harding Kenny; C Banville, A Halligan, A Power; R Murphy (c), B McDonald; C Donnelly, C Foxe, A Cullen; C Ní Nualláin, K Kearney, T Doyle.
