Why wouldn't I be? It was a huge commercial success in attracting a major sponsor. We got promoted from 1b after many failed attempts. Beat Kilkenny consistently in all competitions which is a pretty big deal in Wexford. First Leinster final in 8 years. First Leinster win in 15 years. First all Ireland semi final in 12 years. Two failings were obviously the 19 semi final which still haunts me, and secondly there was a group of players just totally overlooked in terms of development which we're now suffering for. But overall I would say his first stint was a success. I haven't missed a competitive game in over 30 years and the Davy era was the first time since the 90s that I felt we had a chance in every game we played. I'd love to have that again. Say what you will about him, he is a winner. I can't quite get my head around how Clare people seem to view him. Between player and manager he's been a key part of almost everything Clare have ever done. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4223 - 09/02/2026 22:45:42 2655741 Link 0 |

That was then man. This is now, and we are paying the price for those few years still.

Those achievements were average at best. 1 Leinster with that team who won 3-U21s, cost Wexford an arm and a leg and post-2019 left a broken team. Yes he raised the profile of the game but it doesn't seem to have helped with underage success. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1553 - 10/02/2026 12:30:03 2655787 Link 0 |
