Replying To Viking66: "Shamrocks have a great set up now, and in a county full of grounds in idyllic locations with a view, ironically their ground in the middle of a town is one with one of the best views! I'm heading up there this evening for an underage game hopefully the rain stops! Their u12s are undefeated in 6 hurling and football games this year, winning 5 and drawing 1, so they must be doing something right up there!" They are very weak at u8s, I hope this changes as otherwise their future health wouldn't be great. wexford2012 (Wexford) - Posts: 148 - 18/07/2023 10:44:59 2495336 Link

Replying To grassroots01: "Agree - its an embarrassment that intermediate "production" ." Production is being kind. Imagine reviewing games and you weren't at one of them! The inaccuracies are unreal. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 1093 - 18/07/2023 11:52:35 2495362 Link

Replying To Viking66: "Funny you should say that but I said that they should get to games to him too." Baffles me. The senior production is excellent. And fair, they don't hide away from anything. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 1093 - 18/07/2023 13:18:40 2495397 Link
Replying To ExiledInWex: "I wouldn't know the club scene in Wexford as well as you all would, and I don't go to club matches as a neutral I spend mid-week trawling to matches here there and everywhere with the children. I try to get away from GAA on Sunday's instead of seeing more. That might change as my children reach adult grades. Anyway, my question. When I first moved to Wexford, clubs like Shamrocks, Duffry Rovers, Monageer, Marshalstown, Davidstown were all in or around senior hurling, or at the top in Intermediate as the club I joined back then was. Now, all are in the bottom rungs of Intermediate A and Junior. They are traditionally hurling focused clubs from what I would understand, and always seem to have decent enough underage teams with a couple of really good players. Is it just that they had well by their own standards generational teams back then and senior was 16 teams and now they are back at their normal level? Genuinely curious here, rather than trolling." Of the clubs you have mentioned, I vaguely remember Shamrocks and Monageer as senior teams, and Duffrey Rovers but I remember them more for their football prowess. Marshalstown were always intermediate in my memory, Mitch Jordan and the Kinsellas did they get to senior for a couple of years? I'm trying to remember. Davidstown medicore intermediate/junior team in my memory. I will say one thing about Davidstown, they have rebuilt their club house and pitches to an amazing standard, well done to all concerned. It's a numbers game really in terms of how strong clubs can be. The system in Wexford now allows clubs to find their standard and then maintaining it is the key. hurlorhurley (Wexford) - Posts: 1660 - 18/07/2023 14:49:56 2495422 Link

I was up in Davidstown last year they are doing great work there for sure Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20706 - 18/07/2023 15:10:35 2495432 Link
Replying To Viking66: "I was up in Davidstown last year they are doing great work there for sure" They tend to lose players to clubs around them do they? Think a few Rapps lads in Davidstown, Jack Kelly being one. And the Kehoes in Cloughbawn are Davidstown too I've heard before. Its a pity but they seem to be coming again. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 1093 - 18/07/2023 16:29:58 2495459 Link

I don't think its transfers but what might happen is the parents could originally be from Enniscorthy, sent their children to school in St Aidans and then we they take up GAA they join the Rapps as all their schoolmates are going there too.

Duffy Rovers in football is before my time they did do 7-8 in a row or something didn't they? I have a vague recollection of Marshalstown being senior for a year or two in the mid noughties when I moved, and I could a swore Davidstown were a decent intermediate team. I think the point made about football clubs upping the ante in hurling pushing some of these clubs down the order could be the reason. I know its not a link but a decent clubhouse and facilities gives people a club to be proud of and want to drive standards in. I haven't been to Davidstown in a few years though since before their fire and did not think they had much going on then, but good to hear they turning that tide.

Was up at Shamrocks last night they had some very good u12s playing. The new floodlights are the job also though obviously we didn't need them this time of year. The soccer club next door have a new large astro that they have access to for training also. Fair play to them they are putting in the time and work.

It wasnt a fire it was wind damage from one of the code red events in recent years, roof blown off the whole place. Its an incredible transformation, I would recommend next time you are in Wexford to pay a visit. hurlorhurley (Wexford) - Posts: 1660 - 19/07/2023 11:19:29 2495583 Link
Predictions for round 4 Martins v Oilgate: Oilgate will have confidence after a good win the last day but martins will have too much. Martins by 6 Anne's v Harriers: Harriers prob best performance the last day but still managed to lose, Anne's through and will prob hurl more freely. Anne's by 4 Naomh Eanna v glynn. Glynn will target the last game. Naomh eanna by 8 Ferns v rathnure: Ferns will have too much and win by 10 Shels v crossabeg: local derby think crossabeg will go close here but shels to win by 3 Oulart v rapparees: oulart prob targeting the rathnure game to consolidate their senior status rapps by 4 WexMurph (Wexford) - Posts: 369 - 19/07/2023 16:26:32 2495677 Link

Sure the Alley won the U19s easy enough last year so no surprise there. Paull (Wexford) - Posts: 296 - 20/07/2023 17:32:47 2495866 Link
