Tipp haven't the scoring forwards to be up there for me. Think Galway will be ahead of them come the AI series.

Just to comment on the Peters dropping to Senior B, chatting to teachers in there involved who I know well say this has more to do with the admission changes, in that its a lottery where as years gone past they could take the best hurlers when they apply while now, its a complete lottery who they get.

It is. Wall is by all accounts an excellent coach at GC. Who is over the team at Peters?

I see Cork and Galway as a bigger threat than Tipp this year. Just dont think Tipp have the forwards apart from Jake Morris and Jason Forde who was uncharacteristically poor on the frees yesterday. Think the pecking order currently looks like Limerick, Kilkenny, Clare, Galway, Cork , Tipp, Ourselves , Waterford, Dublin. These are likely to change over the coming weeks

Dublin have won one Leinster title in 62 years. Don't think you are in the right place to be talking about hurling or 'mindset'.

Its not only now that Wexford people have excuses, or "if this hadn't happened" stories now, is it? I saw it in our own club when we lost a huge game, 2 of the lads were blaming the referee at the end but both were flagging at the end because they had been on a sun holiday just before championship.

I agree on that pecking order but the point I'm making is the gap the between Kilkenny and Tipp is smaller than the gap from Limerick to Kilkenny in my opinion.

I would too but only slightly ahead, if they played next week in championship I'd probably see it 55/45 in Galway's favour.

Think the point is that you haven't said the performances were scandalous, and that they will therefore be going nowhere in the Championship, or that their fans deserved better after paying 20 euros to see the games.

It's not a complete lottery. Children apply to multiple schools and pick their favourite out of the schools that offer them a place.

agree not a valid excuse, just seems to be a serious lack of interest in gaa in st peters, takes efford to compete a senior level in both hurling and football, why do good cousel compete,bring back mick caulfield declan wall doing serious work in gsc i know willie cleary tried to have a connection between the schools and clubs when he was county coach but never continued with current set up, wexford need st peters at A level hurling wexfordminor92 (Wexford) - Posts: 75 - 25/03/2024 15:25:34 2533621 Link 0 |
No disrespect to Peters but they haven't really been a powerhouse in Senior hurling in a long time .. The seem to be living on past glories! (similiar to GCC) .. Surely Senior hurling status could depend on how their teams did at U14 / U16 levels

Tipp and Limerick were beaten by better teams and will regroup after disappointing performances like you said but a disappointing performance from Wexford merits 1 of your predictable rants about culture, mindset and how your still ****** about paying 18E for a league game 13 months ago.

I was told anecdotally but open to correction but the old adage of you'll get into a school because your mother or father attended it doesn't apply as much these days.

Just going off of posts put in here regarding all Ireland favourites/ power rankings. Out of Limerick, Clare, Cork, Kilkenny, Galway, Tipp, Dublin and Waterford, on any given day in the championship with a full strength team - who do yous think we could beat?

who is the st martins and barntown lads on the good counsel team? i got the same feed back about kierans, but we in wexford need as many boys exposed to A level schools hurling, it is u19 and way higher level than u17 minor, boys are more mature and any boy who missed underage squads due to late development are picked up, no club politics on selection, it yoir good enough your picked, with a bit of suppprt from ferns we could early have st peters, gsc, enniscorty cbs and gorey cs playing at top level, then add in fcj and wexford cbs at b level i know willie cleary tried to encourge this but why was it not continued, st peters droping to b level is a massive step back fir the development of hurling in this county wexfordminor92 (Wexford) - Posts: 75 - 25/03/2024 15:43:46 2533632 Link 0 |
If we are full strength and hurling really well I think we can beat anyone bar Limerick. If they get out of Munster they will still be the team to beat

Cian Carthy from Glynn and Conn Mernagh from St Martins.

I'd agree there's 5 teams below Limerick where we would be definitely underdogs but not no- hopers if we faced them.

We have not, you are right. I was talking about Kilkenny's mindset is the only problem.
