Replying To juan31:  "I think he should he had a field day against Antrim last year especially in the first half if memory serves me right"

Replying To Past hurler:  "Remember seeing an off the ball episode on Ballyhale and Tommy Shefflin (Henrys older brother) said there is a huge emphasis in Ballyhale on developing players between the age of 17 to 21 so they can become complete senior hurlers for club or county.

He said Ballyhale play a Roinn C level mostly underage as they don't have the numbers to compete with the big city clubs."

Replying To TerribleFootwork:  "Mad thing is I know lads in Kilkenny who see that as a bad thing and rural clubs are struggling for them, City clubs dominate underage generally up there, Ballyhale I gather rather than produce excellent underage teams produce some brilliant individual players and let very little fall through the net.

Another thing to remember for Kilkenny is the 3 city clubs catchment extends to rural area's close to the city, Shels catchment goes in as far as Wexford bridge, glynn goes into Wexford racecourse, Martins in Drinagh as far as the cinema and Zurich Insurance and Crossabeg's goes in as far as Ferrycarrig Bridge. Those lads from KK think Dicksboro could potentially become a 'super club' of Kilkenny with alot of housing developments either going on or in the pipeline in their catchment area."

Replying To Viking66:  "He's starting a teaching job in September. We played Crossabeg Tuesday in the Rackard League and I got told he would be back for the club championships. Oisin won't be back on the pitch any time soon."

Replying To Slowandshortsighted:  "Teams are under pressure to publish a team earlier in the week so we could see changes with a lot of teams over the weekend. Last weekend felt like a loss but the important thing is it wasnt a loss. Dublin are wexfords bogey team the same wexford are kk and dublin have a decent record against galway. Nothing can be done now that game was over sunday evening and attention turns to antrim. As others have said theres no point dreaming about a leinster final if antrim cant be beaten no matter where its played. Id expect wexford to get the job done and comfortably in the end.
I was told antrim were wreckless when the game got away from them. Kk lost 4 players through injury and they rushed tj off early before they went after him. The ref has a job sunday to protect the players. Lee and rory could get special treatment. Im sure rossi will have the ref well warned and the players will know what happened last weekend
The minors are at home to kk. The underage teams this year are slow to get going but round robin is round robin,its all about later in the year. The minors were unlucky not to get something last week. They will know a good few kk lads and will want to get stuck into them early. Kk had a big win last week i was suprised with gakway. Kk seem to be getting underage right and have some very good players coming through. Do wexford get blue prints off different counties regarding structures.i remember when kk were dominant alot of counties followed and passed them out. Kk underage has being desperate the last 15 years. Its so important having things right underage."

Replying To Doylerwex:  "Martin's actually covers White rock hill. There's about 6 massive estates up there.

Harriers pitch is technically barntown.

Martin's again stand to gain massively on the housing plan around the loreto"
