Has anything been to co board attention regards the Oylgate players red card at the weekend or the same officials on the sideline as 4th officials at another match? countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 1093 - 12/07/2023 18:46:23 2494018 Link 0 |

If we're being brutally honest, I'm not sure how Tara Rocks were ever really supposed to be viable as a standalone club. If they're not drawing on a particular part of Gorey, then there's really nothing that differentiates them from Naomh Éanna. And if nothing differentiates the two, why would a promising young hurler/footballer join Tara Rocks when they could just join Naomh Éanna instead?

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Kilanerin holding their own in senior football is nothing they hadn't done many times before when fielding just in their own right. But Tara Rocks being played two & won two in intermediate hurling, and being possible dark horses for the title, is far above and beyond anything they ever achieved just by themselves. By that token, I think it's clear that Tara Rocks are benefitting a lot more than Kilanerin are. On your second point, I think the population growth means there's scope for a stronger second club within Gorey all right. But I'm not sure Tara Rocks will ever be fully committed to attracting sufficient new players from the growing Gorey population for so long as they can call on the Kilanerin/Ballyfad players instead.

Damien Reck's ridiculous red card. Sent off by a man on a constant power mission.

Debatable I think. Whiterock Hill is Pembrokestown which is technically Martins. New Town Road is the hospital but technically barntown. Crosstown is town, but technically shells Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4674 - 13/07/2023 14:23:05 2494136 Link 0 |

Most of those were just fields when I blew in in the early 90s Doylerwex. As were all the estates from the Mayflower outwards. A friend lived in the cottage by the racecourse and it was countryside, all fields back then. Another friend is building a large estate at the top of Whiterock hill. Again that was all countryside not that long ago. Clonard Church was on the outskirts of town. Across the river was Ely house and more fields. Thats why all of those areas would be in Martins, Barntowns, and Shels catchment areas to this day.

You're not wrong. I'm from clonard and have recently moved back after a few years in the country. I recall there being nothing beyond the church, up the hill or over the bridge. Nowadays you could nearly argue castlebridge and piercestown are part of urban wexford. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4674 - 13/07/2023 15:57:54 2494162 Link 0 |

Not too many fields between Barntown and town either. Nothing better craic than calling Barntown lads townies over a few pints!

Crosstown is town? just because there are a lot of townies in it, it doesn't make it part of the town - the dead don't count!

Fair enough on the first point but I'm not really sure how Tara Rocks realistically make inroads into the Gorey schools for example (3 x secondary now 5 or 6 primary schools) . That would require agreement with Naomh Eanna and good luck with that. The part of town near their pitch is expanding population wise and due to expand further at St Walerans. Maybe with them getting stronger with Kilanerin they will pull some more from Gorey, also has Kilanerin lads playing hurling at a higher level. So in the main I think it's a positive. Shamrocks maybe have the same issue in Enniscorthy? Guess the county boards could try and define boundaries within the towns but surely would be impossible to enforce. But letting one club getting too strong in a town is a bad idea, look at Ballygunner in Waterford. Not sure how they do it in Kilkenny.

I heard a couple of clubs may have lost a few first team players to injury during the week due to the U21 championship matches. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1699 - 14/07/2023 09:34:04 2494254 Link 0 |
