Wexford Club Hurling Championship.

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


St Annes vs Crossabeg - Ballymurn
Expect Annes to win this comfortably, Ballymurn my favoutites for relegation.

Glynn Barntown vs Oulart
Dont know why but I think Glynn might win this one.

Oylegate vs Faythe Harriers
Thought Harriers did ok against Shels last week, fancy them to win.

Raps vs Cloughbawn
Think Rapps will have too much for the Clonroche side.

Martins vs Shels
Could be a good game, fancy the Shels he what should be very tight game.

Naomh Eanna vs Ferns
Another good game, Gorey by 4.

Intermediate
Fethard v Bunclody
Fethard still haven't recovered from when they were relegated, Bunclody surprisingly impressive last week, fancy Fethard though, only just.

Taghmon v Alley
Disappointing performance form Taghmon last week although as mentioned missing alot of key players, Alley very impressive, seem to have a better management set up this year. Alley to make it two wins from two.

Tara Rocks v Askamore
Again I can forsee another one sided game, Askamore have serious firepower upfront, they rake up big scores but do give away alot of scores at the back, still should win this by 8.

Blackwater v Craanford.
Craanford impressive last week albeit against a poor Taghmon side, scoring two late goals which probably flattered them, Blackwater very poor against James, same as Taghmon missing a number of players but they can be very hit and miss. Craanford by 4.

Rathnure v Horeswood
Rathnure to continue there strong start, Rathnure to win by 10.

St. James v Gusserane
The Jimmies impressive last week, last years finalists should win comfortably against Gusserane, who I fear for this year,

Glynn Barntown vs Oulart

Oylegate vs Faythe Harriers

Raps vs Cloughbawn

Martins vs Shels

Naomh Eanna vs Ferns"
Anne's v Crossabeg: Anne's to qualify here by 3 points, think Crossabeg will improve though over the course of championship.
Glynn v Oulart: both teams hampered by injuries thjnk Oulart will win by 2 points.
Oylegate v Harriers: Oylegate more secure at the back and should win a close contest by 2 points.
Rapps v Cloughbawn: Big game for both teams will call a draw.
Martins v Shels: Martins still missing players think they will win by 2 here.
Naomh Eanna V Ferns: Hard to see past the county champions Gorey by 4

St Anne's v crossabeg. Only 1 winner here. Anne's by 9. Anne's have a mixture of experience and youth. Always there abouts each year.

Glynn v oulart. Glynn only scored 6 points from play last time out. Both took a fair beating in round 1. All guns blazing to get a win before the football break. Oulart to win by 1.

Oylegate v harriers. This will be close. Too close. Draw.

Rapps v cloughbawn. Cloughbawn only got 7 from play against Martins but I heard they battled hard until they had man sent off. Close again here but cloughbawn by 2. Someone might correct me if I'm wrong but do we have 2 brothers on different teams. Mel doyle and eanna doyle?

Martins v shels. Shels will go close this year under power. They have a strong team on paper. Martins only scored 1-6 from play the last time out. Jacko only came on in 2nd half. Another draw here.

Naomh eanna v ferns. It looks like 11 of the starting 15 scored for gorey in the first round. Some going. Ferns getting 2-17 from play. Weekend of draws in high scoring game.

Wexford GAA TV has definitely slowed down on production this year. It would be great if they did a highlight section of the different games but obviously I'm aware that it's an amateur organisation and these things cost time which = money.

Its not great value for money, €10 for a club game with the main interest being from 2 clubs and most interested will go to the game?

It's excellent value for money. €10 to get into the match, €10 to buy the stream but you don't have the travelling expenses to get there and you can have as many people over to watch it with you as you like.

5 people could watch it in a living room for a total of €10. Would cost about €60 for those same people to go to the match.

Would it not be better for the players to have those 6 lads there supporting them? I do get that it's an excellent product for ex-pats, and that 10 euro isn't much these days.

I agree it is excellent value for money. The Park is a good 40 minute drive from my house and I expect myself and a couple of my family will sit down to watch the Gorey Ferns game on Sunday even though we are all neutrals

I'm sure I read somewhere that they made over 30k on it last year, mostly from hurling games. Maybe some one has ther exact figures. Anyone involved in the teams will still go to the games, its handy for the guys that dont have not from either team, will probably pay €10 to watch it. I've heard that they might do three games this weekend and hopefully as the championship progresses, they will do more.

Doubt they will make that much this year with the amount of meaningless games in the hurling championship.

I like the Wexford GAA TV as well and the coverage is good, my only problem is matches are on in the middle of the night mainly or early morning. I know I can watch back but not the same.
But I am only going to pay for my own club and don't mind €10 for them. I am not going to pay €10 to see other clubs. I would pay maybe €15 for all matches over a weekend and it wouldn't seem to hard to limit it to one device but I'm not a computer geek so don't know if that can be done and I think people would start sharing codes.

Honestly don't mind paying €10 to watch my club in action but as someone else suggested it would be great if they did a bit of an offer, like 2 games for €15. I'd obviously prefer to attend I'm person but it's not always possible with a demanding toddler.

See the price has gone up just this week to €10:99 for one game so doubt they will be doing any deals. They should make it part of cardie loch Gorman, I'm sure they could make a price increase there.

There should be a weekend pass

Anne's impressive enough tonight against a battling C/B side. They seem to have a good blend and won easily without there two main players staring although Liam Og did score a goal and set up another. Kyle Kennedy was very good and scored a rocket of a goal and there probably guaranteed to finish in top 4 of group now. Crossabeg probably need Paudie back to have any hope of going further in the championship.

Any neutrals at the Oylegate Harriers game that could comment on the referee?

Good win, county men weren't at their peak this week or last tbf, David Kavanagh probably been the stand out so far in the first 2 games, will be good to have Schockman and Justin Moran back too. Paudie Foley is a big loss for Crossabeg I think.
