Yeah I suppose when your consider there hoping to trial 60 players not in the panel this year I think that's 92 in the equation as 32 were on the panel this year. Taking that into account 6 Gorey lads getting a chance on top of Conor Mc and Dunbar isn't too extraordinary, we were considering the other poster suggesting 9 or 11. Agree on your points on the players,arguably Cian Molloy is the best hurler in Wexford in the 19-21 age bracket, along with Jack Cullen looks to have the toolkit to be a 1st 15 player for a long number of years, although not the best sample size his brother Gary played 2 Walsh Cup games at corner back in 2020 and didn't put a foot wrong from my memory, Eoin was actually the youngest panel member in 2019 but hopefully after a couple of injury ravaged years can fulfil his potential. I'd rate Aodhan Doyle along with Shane Lawlor of Rathnure as the best club players of the last 3-4 years who were never in the panel under Davy. I must admit I presumed he had no interest as his form would have been impossible to ignore, funnily he was tailor made for the running style which to be fair was pretty effective at times under Davy arguably McGuckin might have suited his style too.

Yup, as Wexico points out above, the likes of him or yourself will see the whole thing online since you've already got a subscription to it. Dinosaurs like myself who still buy the paper the old-fashioned way only get to see the first few paragraphs. Have read the piece myself anyway. The bit about the District League to involve 60 players not already in the senior squad is interesting. Think it shows Egan and his crew are very open to giving new lads a chance and bringing them in if they think they're good enough.

Which I think is a great idea, although as another poster said I'm not sure if you could expect more than a handful if that to make the step up.

Taking his comments at face value and in good faith he seems to value not treading on the toes of clubs referencing u20 football club championship, i was reading he played u17 or u18 international rules so hopefully he can emphasise with dual commitments.

Agreed. But at least he's making efforts to have a look anyway. Otherwise these lads wouldn't get another chance to impress until club action resumes next year, when the inter-county stuff is already over. Would also welcome how he's obviously mindful of football commitments. I still have massive time for Davy myself, but a breath of fresh air is a good thing too.

Exactly I taught Davy made us very competitive and had some great times, 2020 was a freak year in all our lives so wouldn't just him on that championship but time was right for change.

I see an bord pleanala overturned the planning granted by the Council on appeal for the new developments at Ferns. Article online in the Independent/People. Sorry Pikeman. Who appealed does anyone know? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11849 - 05/11/2021 12:40:39 2388466 Link 0 |

The full article is actually online for this one: https://www.independent.ie/regionals/wexford/news/blow-for-wexford-gaa-as-an-bord-pleanala-refuses-planning-for-ferns-centre-of-excellence-expansion-41018287.html link The paper's a bit funny in how it puts up the full article for some things, but just the "teaser" for others. Anyway, there were two objectors - both local farmers. One had particular concerns over access/traffic, as new entrance to the CoE from the "old" N11 would be directly opposite his own gate. Both had concerns about damage to crops in fields adjoining the CoE, and to the ditches/fences between them, from people going to retrieve stray footballs/hurling balls and even from kids going "exploring" while they were at the CoE for any reason. Both also said something along the lines of how they're generally supporters of the GAA and how they hoped some resolution could be reached on these things so as not to stop the entire development, but that they were unhappy with any proposed solutions put forward so far by Wexford GAA. I know all this because the documents are online somewhere and I read through them a few months back, just out of interest. Can't remember if the latest ones are on the County Council site or the Bórd Pleanála site, though. Might put up the link sometime later, if I can find it.

No time like the present, so here we go: https://www.pleanala.ie/en-ie/case/310127 Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2247 - 05/11/2021 15:03:54 2388485 Link 0 |
I would say the issue is perhaps not so much the damage done but the potential liability of the farmers to kids rambling onto their lands, it's a genuine concern I would have thought. A farmer that has lands that surrounds a local club might be ok with it but not at the coe.

Any word on how the hurlers are going lads? I know early days with new management team etc... Looking forward to seeing what new players will be introduced into the squad for next year.

It's a tough group all right, but just wondering where you're getting that date from? Haven't seen anything anywhere yet myself about fixtures, and have been looking out for them....

I'm glad we've a tough league group, get us road tested for championship, heard nothing since the article in the local papers about Paudie Foley's return and potential district tiral games. If they go ahead i hope their open to the public like Tipperary are doing this weekend.
