Same 15 that started 2 weeks ago and Rowley back on the bench along with CBD…. Clare have rotated a small bit, notable names… Hogan and Leen in full back line, Malone and Mcinerney at 5 and 6, relatively inexperienced half forward line but had heard Stritch and Jack ONeill have impressed in both preseason and the league, Meehan Duggan and David Reidy full forward line, couple of big names on the bench - Conlon Fitzgerald, two Galvins, Rodgers and Shanagher OpenStandWall (Wexford) - Posts: 343 - 06/03/2026 22:08:11 2660376 Link

Replying To Viking66: "As in explosive and exciting? Rory O'Connor out by himself when he is in the mood. Cathal Dunbar when he was u21. Rory McCarthy, but he also played everywhere he was so good. Mogie. Gary Moore maybe too. Barry Lambert sometimes did things that would make you think wow as well. Inspirational forwards? Along with Rory O'Connor, Lee Chin, Conor Mcdonald when he was younger, Martin Storey. Liked watching Rory Jacob hurl too, probably the cleverest Wexford forward I ever saw, with and without the ball. Never knew what he was up to, sometimes watched what he was doing when the ball wasn't anywhere near him. Inspirational backs? Liam Dunne, Skippy Ruth, Matthew O'Hanlon, Liam Ryan. Darragh Ryan was excellent to watch hurling too, shouldve played way longer. Overall though its hard to say, but you would do alot of travelling around the country before you would find a hurler like Damien Reck." I agree Barry Lambert was class but he had a strange career. When you mention Gary Moore I have to mention Jack guiney. He was an absolutely incredible talent. If he'd the attitude of Lee chin I'd say he would have been an all time great. I'll have a go but this is hard Fitzy Rossi D Ryan Jippo D reck Liam Dunne Richie kehoe (criminally underrated) Fenlon Larry O Storey Chin ROC R Jacob Mac Mogie I've left out Dee who was amazing but I chose mogie instead Morris who was outrageously consistent Rory Mac was magical but was hit and miss Codd who was my favourite player for years Matt who was a collosal leader Skippy unlucky too David Redmond another one who always delivered Gizzy another one All in all I've been very fortunate to see some fantastic Wexford players, many of whom gave us great days but never really got the rewards Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4311 - 07/03/2026 07:47:10 2660384 Link

And wasn't around long enough to be inspirational. So didnt really fit in either category. He had the potential to be an all time great for sure. Sadly for us he never fulfilled that potential. Barry Lambert was incredibly unlucky with injuries, as was Moore. Richie Kehoe was very solid ok, and inspirational for your club. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 18717 - 07/03/2026 11:24:48 2660399 Link

That's absolutely class. This is the type of stuff I'm talking about when people refer to hurling as sport. It is so much more. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4311 - 07/03/2026 12:11:35 2660407 Link

Galway look like the team to beat in Leinster so far, haven't been impressed by Kilkenny Don't think there'll be that much of a gap in quality between the best team in Leinster and the worst team this year ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 954 - 07/03/2026 17:39:08 2660447 Link
Long forward to the trip to Ennis in the morning . Best of luck to the lads . Would be a huge boost for Wexford hurling if we can get a result Afinestick96 (Wexford) - Posts: 927 - 07/03/2026 19:39:57 2660467 Link
I think our full back line and half back line may struggle against the Clare attack today. Rossi's options are limited of course. Looking at our bench I don't see how changes can be made in the back six from the team announced. Until Jippo returns we will remain shaky. Out midfield should be able to compete with theirs. Will Jack Redmond be sprung from the subs bench? If he's not injured surely he should be playing. Big games required from Chin and Kevin Foley. Hopefully Tucker can get on the scoreboard a few times. Seems likely that Higgins, Rowley and James Byrne will get some minute under their belts. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 627 - 08/03/2026 04:22:47 2660489 Link
Replying To ElGranSenor: "Galway look like the team to beat in Leinster so far, haven't been impressed by Kilkenny Don't think there'll be that much of a gap in quality between the best team in Leinster and the worst team this year" Very very impressive yesterday. Then again, Kilkenny are going for 7 Leinsters in a row again, same as 04 without being very impressive. I'd be confident they'll find a way. They always do.

Looks like we're running in quicksand, we're miles off them and they've been able to work the ball out way too easily, some of their scores were way too easy as well We've handed them way too many scores from us getting turned over in our own half, we're also getting absolutely cleaned out of it in terms of winning primary possession and breaking ball Simon Roche the one you couldn't criticise, Richie Lawlor, Conor Hearne, and Damien Reck have been ok too, Chin seems to have grow into the game ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 954 - 08/03/2026 13:54:56 2660515 Link
Very disappointed with that. We deserved something out of it. Clare just a bit cuter and a bit quicker with everything. Super effort though Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4311 - 08/03/2026 14:47:44 2660517 Link
Dire in general. More experience for new players for our 2 all irelands in the championship v Kildare and Offaly. After that forget it lads. Simon Roche the only highlight. Yellowhelmet (Australia) - Posts: 166 - 08/03/2026 14:49:49 2660518 Link

Hard to believe after the first half which was really poor. Roche was excellent obviously, Kevin Foley battled like a trooper and Damien Reck at 5 was very good. Fanning was good too. The subs gave us a lift. Thought we desperately lacked intensity at times all around the pitch. Kinsella, Redmond etc all struggled. Ongoing problem at full back and Lawlor isn't a 6 either. Worried about Hearne at midfield, seemed stuck to the ground today. Timbertony (Wexford) - Posts: 530 - 08/03/2026 15:00:53 2660521 Link
I think we first have to acknowledge that Clare were already qualified and were experimenting a good bit, the side they had out would've had a few younger players who will probably make their way into their starting XV come summer but it wasn't their full-strength side (Although it wasn't full-strength for us either) First half was very poor outside of Simon Roche, had to play against the wind but we were sloppy in possession and we were completely off it, they were in second gear the whole half Second half started a little bit better, was still petering enough stiff until about the 50th minute From there on, I was happy enough with the performance, intensity levels increased a lot, Clare probably upped it as well at the same time when they looked under pressure I think Clare would have upped it had we played with greater intensity in the first half but we gave ourselves more chance in the first half with our performance, biggest frustration has to be that it took us 50 minutes to get going Simon Roche outstanding and Chin grew into the game, thought Richie Lawlor was good too, subs improved things a little bit Donohoe getting injured isn't great because we're a bit light in that department, don't think Carley's man scored much but thought he was second to most balls in, Foley struggled a bit in the second half, would be better off out the field I think if we're being honest, there were a few lads starting today who have played a good few League games so far this season and just aren't up to the level needed Tucker needs to handle physicality better, Wickham is still very raw and needs at least a year or two to get up to that level IMO, thought Diarmuid O'Leary was better in the second half I think looking at the team today, the starters who will be in with a chance of starting in the Championship are Fanning, Donohoe, C Foley, Carley, Reck, Lawlor, Hearne, Chin, K Foley, and Roche ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 954 - 08/03/2026 15:03:03 2660522 Link
