Replying To Lockerroomboy: "Good chance after this weekend all wexford Town teams will be in a relegation battle,, could they all be relegated??" I'd say Vols and Joey's are pretty much screwed after years of mis-management. Sarsfields may be in trouble if there are two shocks in the prelims this weekend, but will probably do another Houdini act otherwise. I see Richie Lawlor is back playing for their juniors and is a good footballer too. Of them all, Maudlintown look the most secure. See them beating Rosslare this weekend even without Spot Murphy and aside from Crossabeg, are as good as any of the contenders. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1417 - 20/10/2021 10:58:14 2386387 Link

I'd see Maudlintown as a good bit better than 3 teams in Intermediate Preliminary QFs, a relegation for them would be a huge shock, in fairness to them they've really progressed as a club since leaving Pairc Garman, look to be a proper community effort. Nip and took for the Sarsfields regards relegation, heard this week they've the 2nd longest spell in Senior of any of the clubs i think after Castletown, I think 9 of the 13 Senior clubs this year have won an Intermediate since 2008. Hear Vols and Joeys are struggling badly for numbers this year. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 20/10/2021 11:32:04 2386395 Link

I also see the U20 football structure and start date is out, starting on the 20/21 of November, all going to plan should be finished in time for the Turkey. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 1804 - 21/10/2021 07:23:02 2386554 Link

With no doubt a rake of walkovers and possibly weather-induced postponments along the way. It's ludicrous leaving it so late in the year, they could have started it as soon as the under-20 hurling finished up, especially considering lads would be training adult football anyway. Dose of **. beano (Wexford)** - Posts: 1417 - 21/10/2021 10:23:52 2386577 Link

See both u17 premier finals are on the weekend. Kilanerin v Fethard in Football, Shels v Glynn in hurling. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 21/10/2021 13:37:26 2386637 Link
who looking good in the intermediate football? have seen a few teams inc taghmon,gorey ballyhouge glynn doubt any of them will win it Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 2841 - 22/10/2021 10:51:09 2386765 Link
Replying To Stmunnsriver: "who looking good in the intermediate football? have seen a few teams inc taghmon,gorey ballyhouge glynn doubt any of them will win it" Just on their scorelines Crossabeg look strong, won their games 5-7 0-7 and 5-19 0-2 against Ballyhogue and then Glynn's 2nd string. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 22/10/2021 11:16:28 2386775 Link
Re Inter Football: Ferns and Crossabeg the only two that can really win it I'd say......... Few others prob 5 -6 points off them (Maudlintown, Cushinstown, Gorey, Taghmon, Fintans, Duffry). For competing in Senior next year, would be good to see one of Crossabeg or Ferns win it. rossytilidie (Wexford) - Posts: 300 - 22/10/2021 11:32:08 2386781 Link

I wouldn't be so sure. As always, Intermediate is wide open. Crossabeg have looked strong based on scorelines, however have possibly come out of the weakest group (Ballyhogue & Glynns 2nd string). Tougher tests await I'm sure. Rath/Cushinstown are unbeaten also Ferns drew with Maudlintown, and then only beat a 14-man St. Fintans by 2 points having the benefit of playing the week before also. Fintans then went on and beat Maudlintown by 4 points with a good performance. From my view, there are 3 or 4 teams, possibly 5 with a shout. But I guess we'll see where the form lines lie after the pre-lim quarter finals this weekend. wexican7 (Wexford) - Posts: 6 - 22/10/2021 13:15:40 2386812 Link

I'd agree Crossabeg on a couple of occasions have looked the team to beat and going well but then unexpectedly produce a complete underperformance, e.g only scoring 4 points in the 2019 final. In my opinion they've probably the highest ceiling of the teams in the grade but that doesn't guarantee winning it out. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 22/10/2021 13:24:29 2386815 Link

Haven't thought anyone has stood out yet. Probably be after the QFs before the picture gets clearer. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11840 - 22/10/2021 13:32:45 2386819 Link
I thought they were two decent games of football, the first one although low scoring wasn't negative and plenty of play in it. You would have to think though that Bunclody will need to be scoring more to get any further - they missed two open goals at critical times. The Annes just don't seem to have the 1-15 anymore and too reliant on key players - I would say after today would be in trouble come relegation. Gusserane were the fitter team in the second game, full of running in the second half when it was needed and opened up Horsewood very easily. That defeat will take a lot out of them and if they come out of it with injuries its not going to be easy for them next weekend. Relegation looks like its going to be a right dogfight. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 1804 - 23/10/2021 17:04:42 2387009 Link
Yeah I think Annes could be be in trouble. Yes they gave Starlights a good game in round one, but that was a case of seeking revenge after their county final thrashing. They have been poor since, and when you look back to last year, were incredibly fortunate to gain promotion in the first place. Nothing about Annes convinced me that Bunclody were going to be beaten today and they are dogged enough to advance a bit further yet. It isn't the time of year for fancy football, but their low scoring rate will eventually come back to bite them. Horeswood are tactically inept. I know they want to maximise their scoring potential, but janey mac they are so poor defensively. Kevin Keegan would be pulling his hair out at the gung-ho approach. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1417 - 23/10/2021 20:49:02 2387053 Link
Hard to believe how close the Annes were in the end given such as a lacklustre performance, Bunclody look very fit, can see Pat Roe's fingerprints with how organised they are, Martin O'Connor has to be close if not the best tackler in the championship while Aidan Nolan is so assured in possession. 2 of them the heartbeat of their team. Gusserane Horeswood game really hinged on a 6-8 mins spell with Gusserane getting the 2 goals either side of the 1st half water break and then PJ pulling up with what looked like a groin strain. Before those 2 goals Gusserane looked rattled couldn't cope with Horeswoods forward play and Sean Nolans runs from midfield, the 2 goals then hit Horeswood for 6 and they were the team rattled. Being underdogs might suit Gusserane in a Quarter Final while Mini Ryan and Rossiter look really on their game this year as dangerous an inside duo as you'll find in any team. Relegation could be tricky for Horeswood with injuries mouthing, could be a real dogfight in those games. Intermediate results look to have gone to form yesterday, nothing unusual to note Intermediate A only another abysmal showing from St Joesphs think they've something like 13 points in 3 games, competitive intermediate club only 2-3 years ago. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 24/10/2021 08:39:18 2387080 Link
Replying To wexico15: "See both u17 premier finals are on the weekend. Kilanerin v Fethard in Football, Shels v Glynn in hurling." I see that Fethard won the football final after extra time, looked back and interesting they had only 1 player on the u17 county panel this year while Kilanerin had 6 starters and 2 used subs against Laois in the Leinster championship. Eoin Whelan the sole Fethard player was midfield that day while himself and another 3 Fethard players were on the minor hurling panel. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 24/10/2021 08:40:02 2387081 Link
