I think the Rapps could be an example of the flaw with this format - heavy beatings this week and last and I can't really see them beating the Martins or Shels on paper and would definitely give the Harriers a chance vs them, yet at the same time I wouldn't put it past them being in the last 4?

Replying To WEX98: "Any neutrals at the Oylegate Harriers game that could comment on the referee?" Oylegate management and supporters definitely not too happy with some of his decisions but Harriers were the better team overall and deserved to win. Chin's final two points as good scores as you'll see. HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 527 - 13/07/2024 20:19:19 2558779 Link

Replying To WEX98: "Harriers deserved the win. But the refereeing decisions, particularly in the first half?" Oylegate probably on the wrong side of free count but didn't think there were any game changing decisions made. Penalty miss by seamus casey affected the outcome more than the referee. Enjoyable game though HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 527 - 13/07/2024 22:05:10 2558829 Link

I suppose you leave yourself open to criticism when your a work colleague of members of one the management teams. WEX98 (Wexford) - Posts: 401 - 14/07/2024 08:56:45 2558884 Link

Can't understand why they put Ferns-Gorey in Wexford Park at 6PM on a Sunday evening, surely 6PM or even 7PM in Monamolin would have made more sense? I don't get why they're playing all these games in Wexford Park, you get better atmospheres at the smaller grounds rather than a pretty much empty Wexford Park ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 342 - 14/07/2024 21:55:57 2559125 Link
Hard to know where teams are at after 2 rounds. Was away for the weekend so didn't see any match. 3 weeks now until round 3. Might suit clubs that are not in senior football Yellowhelmet (Australia) - Posts: 112 - 14/07/2024 22:19:27 2559137 Link

Would have been a push to put a senior match there at 6 or 7 p.m. this evening as well. If you're from the sort of club that regularly has to host matches, you'll know the sort of imposition and responsibilities that come with having to do so. You couldn't ask a club to host three matches on the same day. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2453 - 14/07/2024 22:27:00 2559141 Link

Surely crowds would have been better at both games if the venues were swapped Onfor15 (Wexford) - Posts: 530 - 14/07/2024 23:58:48 2559162 Link

Replying To Doylerwex: "100% agree. They nearly had to pass eachother by." Playing oylegate v Harriers in New Ross made no sense either HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 527 - 15/07/2024 09:39:41 2559202 Link
Replying To HurlingBuzz: "Playing oylegate v Harriers in New Ross made no sense either" Probably had to be in Ross or Enniscorthy on account of potential attendance? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13322 - 15/07/2024 10:16:24 2559221 Link
Any stand out performances over the weekend? Afinestick96 (Wexford) - Posts: 344 - 15/07/2024 11:11:53 2559241 Link
Replying To Afinestick96: "Any stand out performances over the weekend?" Don't know about any standout performances but the final score in the Martins v Shels match did make we look twice, more like a junior B score than senior. Seems like the Ferns v Naomh Eanna game was the only high quality fare judging by match reports. YellowShadeOfPurple (Wexford) - Posts: 22 - 15/07/2024 14:12:55 2559289 Link

I thought the Shels Martins was a half time score myself sounded very poor Afinestick96 (Wexford) - Posts: 344 - 15/07/2024 16:31:54 2559342 Link
Replying To Viking66: "There is if you are attending. 20 euro for the weekend pass." Yeah that is true but I can't often make my own clubs matches matches let alone a few matches I would have a passing interest in and would say many are in that same boat. I just don't have time to drive from Wexford Park to Buffers Alley to New Ross. Having said that, I would pay €15-20 if I could sit down and turn on any of 3-4 matches over a weekend so I think there is something there to be looked at. Don't know enough techy stuff about restricting devices though. People find way around everything. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1251 - 15/07/2024 17:25:27 2559360 Link
