Replying To juan31: "I think he should he had a field day against Antrim last year especially in the first half if memory serves me right" He played very well until he started tiring. If it was me I'd start him. If we are going to let Chin and Rory roam then I'd start Mac inside also. No real point starting Casey or Byrne if you aren't going to play ball into them, or make space for them to operate in. Maybe start Mikie as the withdrawn inside forward as he'd work harder more consistently over the 70 minutes than Dunbar. Could put in Devitt instead of Dooley for his distribution, but then again Dooley always seems to improve the more games he gets under his belt. Likewise Mogie. So I'd go- Fanning Murphy, C Foley, S Reck MOH, DReck, Donohue K Foley, Hearne Jacko, Chin, Mogie ROC, Mac, Dwyer. If we are going to set up/play like we did in the League, and tell the half forwards and withdrawn inside forward to play as close to the opponents 65 as possible and hold that line until the ball goes inside then I'd go- Fanning Donohue, C Foley, S Reck MOH, D Reck, Devitt K Foley, Hearne Jacko, Chin, Mogie Rory, Casey, Dwyer Devitt and MOH are our 2 best distributors forwards, along with Kevin Foley. That's working with the 26 as picked. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15421 - 26/04/2024 16:24:25 2540791 Link
Really really hope we've learnt our lesson now regarding the high ball in to the square, remember last year Antrim going route one towards the end and it nearly yielded goals and I'm fairly sure OHanlon was on the edge of the square there, think we'll win by 4 or 5. Safe travels to everyone else making the journey tomorrow. OpenStandWall (Wexford) - Posts: 234 - 26/04/2024 16:42:06 2540798 Link

Replying To Past hurler: "Remember seeing an off the ball episode on Ballyhale and Tommy Shefflin (Henrys older brother) said there is a huge emphasis in Ballyhale on developing players between the age of 17 to 21 so they can become complete senior hurlers for club or county. He said Ballyhale play a Roinn C level mostly underage as they don't have the numbers to compete with the big city clubs." Teams are under pressure to publish a team earlier in the week so we could see changes with a lot of teams over the weekend. Last weekend felt like a loss but the important thing is it wasnt a loss. Dublin are wexfords bogey team the same wexford are kk and dublin have a decent record against galway. Nothing can be done now that game was over sunday evening and attention turns to antrim. As others have said theres no point dreaming about a leinster final if antrim cant be beaten no matter where its played. Id expect wexford to get the job done and comfortably in the end. I was told antrim were wreckless when the game got away from them. Kk lost 4 players through injury and they rushed tj off early before they went after him. The ref has a job sunday to protect the players. Lee and rory could get special treatment. Im sure rossi will have the ref well warned and the players will know what happened last weekend The minors are at home to kk. The underage teams this year are slow to get going but round robin is round robin,its all about later in the year. The minors were unlucky not to get something last week. They will know a good few kk lads and will want to get stuck into them early. Kk had a big win last week i was suprised with gakway. Kk seem to be getting underage right and have some very good players coming through. Do wexford get blue prints off different counties regarding structures.i remember when kk were dominant alot of counties followed and passed them out. Kk underage has being desperate the last 15 years. Its so important having things right underage. Slowandshortsighted (UK) - Posts: 51 - 26/04/2024 23:24:37 2540820 Link
Replying To TerribleFootwork: "Mad thing is I know lads in Kilkenny who see that as a bad thing and rural clubs are struggling for them, City clubs dominate underage generally up there, Ballyhale I gather rather than produce excellent underage teams produce some brilliant individual players and let very little fall through the net. Another thing to remember for Kilkenny is the 3 city clubs catchment extends to rural area's close to the city, Shels catchment goes in as far as Wexford bridge, glynn goes into Wexford racecourse, Martins in Drinagh as far as the cinema and Zurich Insurance and Crossabeg's goes in as far as Ferrycarrig Bridge. Those lads from KK think Dicksboro could potentially become a 'super club' of Kilkenny with alot of housing developments either going on or in the pipeline in their catchment area." Martin's actually covers White rock hill. There's about 6 massive estates up there. Harriers pitch is technically barntown. Martin's again stand to gain massively on the housing plan around the loreto Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3502 - 27/04/2024 08:57:24 2540845 Link
Replying To Viking66: "He's starting a teaching job in September. We played Crossabeg Tuesday in the Rackard League and I got told he would be back for the club championships. Oisin won't be back on the pitch any time soon." How are ye doing in the rachard league Viking?are ye getting any support from the schools at the moment.My brother taught down there in one of the schools and they didn't even have goal in the school hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1102 - 27/04/2024 09:50:17 2540853 Link

Martin's again stand to gain massively on the housing plan around the loreto" Big numbers are of zero value when a club is clueless and coaching is crap.

Good luck to our hurlers today. Wexford need to stop with the inferiority complexes or leaving teams in games. We need to go up there saying "These boys are crap and we want this match done by half time". If we don't do that, after the hammering Kilkenny gave them we have no business coming out of Leinster. We need to stop getting in to battles with inferior teams like we did with Westmeath last year. Or Dublin last Sunday, although I didn't see it. We have better hurlers than these teams. We need to go up there and go for goals and try to put the game to bed as clinically as possible. Anything less has to be unacceptable if we are to improve our fortunes as a hurling county. Up Wexford. Come on lads set us up for a rattle v Galway. I know they don't rate us, lets prove them wrong. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1811 - 27/04/2024 13:12:25 2540878 Link
Minors up by 9 at half time against Kilkenny. Hopefully they can see it out to kick off a good weekend for Wexford hurling. Fulgrim (Wexford) - Posts: 263 - 27/04/2024 13:45:30 2540883 Link
Great win for our minors. Well done to all involved. Best of look to the senior now. hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1102 - 27/04/2024 14:24:54 2540887 Link
Replying To hunting: "Great win for our minors. Well done to all involved. Best of look to the senior now." Minors hurled very well and deserved their win well done. Tiger1 (Wexford) - Posts: 325 - 27/04/2024 14:48:25 2540891 Link
Massive result for the minors. Would do your heart good. Imagine with a few harriers they'd have won by 15 :) Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3502 - 27/04/2024 15:05:20 2540895 Link
Mac has already done enough with two touches to show he's worth his place in the team Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3502 - 27/04/2024 15:18:54 2540898 Link
Silly yellow for Rory O Connor, that puts him out for next week. Cian Byrne worth his place so far, getting in more ball than O Connor and Mac combined and a few scores too. If it wasn't for Chin again we'd be screwed WEXILE (Wexford) - Posts: 342 - 27/04/2024 15:41:23 2540902 Link
Replying To Doylerwex: "Mac has already done enough with two touches to show he's worth his place in the team" Seriously? Think he will be fortunate not to be hooked at half time. Antrim obviously much improved and Chin is carrying us again. Cian Byrne has been sharp too. The amount of times our lads lose possession on the run, unable to break a tackle or with a poor touch/pass in unreal. I'd probably bring Lawlor and Casey back in at the break for Hearne and Mac.

Replying To Doylerwex: "Mac has already done enough with two touches to show he's worth his place in the team" And then follows it up with 2 bad wides in quick succession at a time when we needed a score. Once again, only for the magnificent Lee Chin, we'd be in serious trouble here against Antrim. Cian Byrne doing well but the other forwards are not contributing much. Dunbar only touched the ball once. This could be a difficult second half. Purpleandgold72 (Wexford) - Posts: 246 - 27/04/2024 15:44:16 2540906 Link

Big second half coming up here. Timbertony (Wexford) - Posts: 377 - 27/04/2024 15:50:29 2540909 Link
