Replying To Doylerwex: "Sitting here watching the 19 aisf again. I will never understand. The more time passes, the harder it is to take." Have you watched last years game in Semple back again yet? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15621 - 17/03/2023 20:43:44 2464404 Link
Team named. Be a great experience for the newer lads and the younger lads they will see where they need to get to as regards S and C and intensity. Hope they go well Sunday I'm really looking forward to the trip up! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15621 - 17/03/2023 21:49:17 2464411 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Have you watched last years game in Semple back again yet?" Unfortunately I've watched it at least 3 times. It was the same pattern but don't think we were as good that day. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3556 - 18/03/2023 11:18:38 2464427 Link
Replying To Doylerwex: "Unfortunately I've watched it at least 3 times. It was the same pattern but don't think we were as good that day." We weren't. But we lost both games, and the 2021 LSHSF, because we didn't have enough lads on the bench with any significant Senior hurling experience. Hurling is a 20-23 man sport these days, and in all 3 games we only had 17 or 18 lads who had played much Senior intercounty hurling at all.

The only games I have on the sky box that I've watched back 3 times are the 2019 LSHF and last years game in Nowlan Park; ) Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15621 - 18/03/2023 11:42:02 2464438 Link
Is David Dunne no longer featuring on the panel? Heading to Limerick today, I just hope they bring the fight and intensity and don't give up. Hopefully with Chin leading they will do that. goreyll (Wexford) - Posts: 154 - 18/03/2023 11:45:44 2464441 Link
With chinner and Rory playing it will undoubtedly add punch to our forwards. Dwyer, Hearne, and Charlie hopefully knocking them over the bar it should give us a decent score. However we are playing the all ireland champions and they will be very difficult opposition in their own backyard. Looks like Shane Reck will be tasked with marking Gillane. Let's hope he can keep him quiet. I Can see Jacko lining out up front and not in the half back line as selected. Interesting to see Niall Murphy in the corner back position. Will he bring his club form to the seniors.?conor Foley will have a big job to do considering his tender years. The experience will be invaluable. Kevin Foly and Dunbar if at their best can give a good supply to our front men. Let's hope we don't bring our Clare form tomorrow and build on last week's game in Cork. Verdict- Limerick to win by 5 points. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 447 - 18/03/2023 12:55:29 2464459 Link

Then we will see him at his best. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15621 - 18/03/2023 14:32:38 2464472 Link
On the way to Limerick now! More in hope than expectation but it should be a great learning experience for the newer and younger lads on the panel! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15621 - 19/03/2023 09:58:35 2464643 Link
Good luck to the lads today. We are going into the bear pit. Without more than half our team. I actually be happy to come within 6 points of them today and no injuries please. Especially to Chin or Rory hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1122 - 19/03/2023 10:57:26 2464652 Link
Enjoy the match today. Always great to see wexford supporters making that journey. We made it last year and although it was early in the year there was a nice bit of spice to it and good even contest. Always have huge time for wexford supporters. Very like Limerick as we were always close to the big dogs and both countys have a fabulous hurling tradition. We're just lucky currently with a v good group. Looking forward to a few match ups today and good honest tough hurling. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1197 - 19/03/2023 11:29:12 2464657 Link

And the usual couple of bad wides and balls dropped short. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15621 - 19/03/2023 14:41:33 2464721 Link
Fanning just dropped another ball into his own net Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15621 - 19/03/2023 14:45:18 2464724 Link
Back to our usual - Chin missing frees and Fanning dropping the ball into the goal goreyll (Wexford) - Posts: 154 - 19/03/2023 15:02:02 2464734 Link
Would have to be reasonably satisfied based on where we're at and who we're missing. That and the fact we were only playing for a bit of pride. All eyes on Galway now and getting everyone right for it. We need to be consistent in our commitment for 70 minutes for the whole of the round Robin. Do that and we won't be far away. For me, James Lawlor is our first choice keeper by a distance Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3556 - 19/03/2023 15:57:10 2464767 Link

Forwards score just 5 points from play and according to RTÉ match report Rory O'Connor our best forward is deployed in a sweeping role. Am I missing something? HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 546 - 19/03/2023 16:27:32 2464790 Link
Sorry Ian carty scored 2 points from play! HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 546 - 19/03/2023 16:32:22 2464793 Link
Replying To HurlingBuzz: "Forwards score just 5 points from play and according to RTÉ match report Rory O'Connor our best forward is deployed in a sweeping role. Am I missing something?" With the bodies we're down and the fact there was nothing at stake probably as good a chance as any to try it out, I'd be shocked if he's anywhere near that role in championship.

Its no surprise that carty is doing so good when he is the standout hurler with his club. Likewise why so many of our forwards are totally out of their dept because they dont stand out at all at club level. Waltermitty2 (Wexford) - Posts: 267 - 19/03/2023 16:47:02 2464806 Link
