Replying To Yellowhelmet: "Pure guess work with these predictions. Given the format of the league, the format of championship and clubs now having their county men back. Will be at least round 3 before we see where teams are really at. Oulart v St Anne's. St Anne's by 4. Naomh eanna v Glynn. Naomh eanna by 6. Crossabeg v ferns. Ferns by 2. Shels v harriers. Draw Cloughbawn v st Martins. Martins by 4. Oylegate v rapps. Oylegate by 1." St Anne's v Oulart - Think Oulart could win this Naomh Eanna v Glynn - only one winner here. Crossabeg v Ferns- Ferns by 3 Shels V Harriers - Harriers by 2 Martins v Cloughbawn- Martins by 5 Oylegate v Rapps- Oylegate by 4 WexMurph (Wexford) - Posts: 215 - 03/07/2024 21:06:31 2556810 Link

Looking forward to this evening now I must say. Pitch in the park looks I'm great nick and our lads seem to be motoring well from what I've observed. Talking to a shells lad in work says they're not happy with how they're going. We'll find out tonight I suppose. Naomh eanna are going to take stopping but surely Martin's are overdue a good year. They have the resources to be a super club if managed well. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3042 - 05/07/2024 09:43:15 2557018 Link

Ollie Bolger still starting for cushinstown. Some testament to the man he must be 48. Wexfordgaa (Wexford) - Posts: 300 - 05/07/2024 11:51:47 2557042 Link

Watched the Shels v Harriers game. Shels were that bit better. Sean Keane Carroll and Cian Doyle caught some great balls in the first half which set them up for there running game. Martin Byrne back involved with them. Harriers battled hard were 3 points up into the second half but soft goals were the killer. Podge Farrell done well up front but there main men didn't hurl enough to win it. Conditions didn't help either team. Harriers still might come strong in the championship WexMurph (Wexford) - Posts: 215 - 05/07/2024 21:59:11 2557118 Link
What's wrong with Oulart? ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 342 - 05/07/2024 23:30:30 2557133 Link
Went to the game in the park last night and it was a really good first half with the harriers looking sharp but they fell apart in second half and conceded a soft goal. Conor Hearne was superb. The pitch looked every bit as good as Croke Park. Overall I'd say it was a really good start to championship. wexfordwin (Wexford) - Posts: 173 - 06/07/2024 07:42:03 2557148 Link
Replying To ElGranSenor: "What's wrong with Oulart?" I wouldn't say there is anything's wrong with Oulart. They got relegated three years ago and I know they came back up straight away, but they still would be well below Anne's, Gorey, Shels etc. So it's probably just where they are at. They have some great underage teams coming through so they will greatly improve in the next few years. alwaysasub (Wexford) - Posts: 423 - 06/07/2024 10:26:19 2557161 Link

Dee and Liam Og stepped up big time after that, Cillian Byrne and Andrew Moran were impressive also. Simon Roche is a big loss for Oulart, I do think in Group 1 it will be between them and Barntown for the relegation spot. OpenStandWall (Wexford) - Posts: 132 - 06/07/2024 15:02:35 2557208 Link

Harriers had no bench though which was the difference. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3042 - 06/07/2024 15:40:14 2557216 Link
I wonder are we looking to emulate Kilkenny TOO much by adopting their championship structure when they haven't won an All Ireland in nine years, which would be a famine for them. The truth is, there is no jeopardy for 80% of our championship now, not exactly the cut and thrust young lads need to make themselves as hurlers. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1441 - 06/07/2024 17:22:05 2557239 Link

It occurred to me last night that we should probably be playing 70 minute club games. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3042 - 06/07/2024 19:42:28 2557267 Link
Think we'd be better off with the following club championship: Two groups of 6 Top team in each group goes straight to the SFs 2nd plays 3rd in the other group and vice-versa in the QFs; the two winners then go to the SFs 4th and 5th are done for the year 6th in each group play off in the Relegation Final ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 342 - 06/07/2024 21:29:59 2557294 Link
Paudie Foley a huge loss for Crossabeg, not having a player of his quality would be a huge blow to any of the twelve 12 clubs but it hits Crossabeg even harder Oisín Foley played very well in the first half but other than that, Crossabeg weren't able to get much going, the rest of their forwards really struggled to win possession 2-10 is a weak enough score too, Ferns hit a good few wides in the first half so it could have been more than 2-23 on a different day I think Keith Rossiter made a mistake leaving Gavin Bailey out of the Wexford panel this season, he's a real tone-setter from an intensity standpoint and always brings physicality to the game Paul Morris was good as was Niall Murphy, goes to show how much of a step-up it is from senior club to senior inter-county ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 342 - 06/07/2024 21:34:23 2557296 Link

Two very big players in recent seasons. I agree with you about Gavin Bailey but I was more surprised Eoin Murphy didn't get an into the Wexford panel this year, I've been hugely impressed with him, he seems to have been discarded based on a poor display against Clare in the league last year when most were poor. Maybe he was asked in but declined due to travelling I don't know but he's a tidy hurler. YellowShadeOfPurple (Wexford) - Posts: 22 - 06/07/2024 22:02:17 2557302 Link
Looking at some of the results across the grades I don't think I've ever seen as many teams getting beaten by as much in first round games. First round games tend to be more competitive yet I fear we are seeing the effects of basically reducing our county championships to the level of all county league games with zero jeopardy tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1401 - 06/07/2024 22:03:55 2557303 Link

It's also obvious that the years of having 8-10 clubs who could win senior hurling is over. Realistically it's between 6 and the football is between three or maybe four at a push. wexfordwin (Wexford) - Posts: 173 - 07/07/2024 08:26:10 2557329 Link
