Replying To WexMurph: "Club championship on this weekend and you'd hardly no it. Attendances seemed low from what I could see. Castletown favourites to win senior and st Anne's for intermediate." Decent but not massive crowd at Grantstown this evening. Fintans pulled away in the last quarter to win comfortably enough in the end.

To be fair playing any sport in that heat can't have been easy. Probably wasn't possible but some game were played at the height of the heat in early afternoon and would have been better served played later in the day. Probably wasn't possible to be fair. I was talking to a horeswood player Saturday eve who told me he never witnessed anything like playing in that heat before. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1536 - 13/07/2025 10:42:16 2625224 Link
Kilanerin will a big statement already even if its only the first round, they are going to be very hard stopped, devitt to come back still, Mordaunt was very strong at midfield tall and athletic, Sars had a good first half v glynn but 2 early goals in the second killed them off, 2 furlongs to return will help a lot but them and starlights need get points on the board quick, Fethard have injuries but will improve a lot as the weeks pass by if can get some back, shels v glynn game of weekend next lefty (Wexford) - Posts: 247 - 14/07/2025 08:31:10 2625486 Link

Big difference i feel in quality of teams in group a of senior and group b. Jammies, Fethard and Bunclody may struggle but only 1 will end up in relegation. Games between them will be interesting In intermediate I heard Ballyhougue let a huge lead slip against Horeswood which could come back to bite them and was a bit surprised to see Ferns beat Cushinstown. Other group went as expected really, Craanford look like they'll struggle and Taghmon are still missing a few. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1536 - 14/07/2025 12:17:20 2625566 Link

Adamstown barely beating a martins team who haven't seen a football in training all year, but martins will improve as the year goes ahead, Lockerroomboy (Wexford) - Posts: 484 - 14/07/2025 16:43:19 2625673 Link

Replying To Viking66: "Annes and Martins my favourites for winning Intermediate, but Adamstown and Fintans in with a shout also." Could be an Annes Martins final in both hurling and football, that would be interesting!! paddybull (Wexford) - Posts: 51 - 15/07/2025 06:47:25 2625773 Link
Is it just me or has interst in the Senior Championship both Hurling and Football gone backwards in the last couple of years. I think that the code split now when people look back on it was the best format for keeping the public interest. However you had the Hurling only crew bemoaning that Lee Chin was gone from Hurling by the end of July which was under the old format of top four, reality is all that the two week on off has done has extended the stay but lads on weak teams still play the same amount of games. Perhaps if we went back to the split code with the current Hurling format it would now be more acceptable. Although everyone bar the players seem to be unhappy with the Hurling format. It looked to me like a Shels and Kilanerin had different levels of preparation done for the game. Kilanerin were much more prepared for the solo go. One thing I noticed from watching a few games refs have not imposed the 50m penalty for talking on the field to strictly yet. If they don't then it's their own downfall, the impact can be seen at county level and no player/manager/supporter should be surprised if he opens his mouth and the ball is brought forward. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 2027 - 15/07/2025 12:08:23 2625814 Link
Replying To paddybull: "Could be an Annes Martins final in both hurling and football, that would be interesting!!" It would ok. Both good clubs with a good approach from underage upwards, and good county people as well. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16582 - 15/07/2025 14:42:47 2625856 Link
Looking at U21 results last night, I see yet again half of the fixtures, 50% were walkovers last might in Division 2 Football. I also see Oulart have emailed in a letter looking to move the next round of the U21 hurling to the week after the 4th round instead of between two rounds as they have that weekend off for the Fleadh, makes sense but I doubt anything will change. alwaysasub (Wexford) - Posts: 498 - 17/07/2025 16:44:29 2626289 Link

Have seen that stuff from Oulart. It's actually the free weekend for EP (rather than Fleadh) that makes them think the Wednesday in question (August 27th) would be ideal for U21 Hurling. But they're overlooking how many of the clubs due to compete in that round of U21 Hurling would also be playing Intermediate 'A' Football the following evening, Thursday 28th. Oulart say it's bad for player welfare to ask lads to play three matches in seven days, but under their proposal, some would have to play two matches in 24 hours. They're also overlooking the knock-on effects that U21 fixtures on Wednesday evenings have on underage fixtures in those weeks. Things are seldom as simple as they might appear at first glance.

Replying To Viking66: "It would ok. Both good clubs with a good approach from underage upwards, and good county people as well." Definitely st martins will be in hurling final, intermediate football they have little interest but they have the squad to go very very close, Lockerroomboy (Wexford) - Posts: 484 - 18/07/2025 11:28:40 2626371 Link
Looks like Martins were caught in injury time by Ballyhogue. Just goes to show how much talent you have if you don't put the work in it won't matter. Biggest result was Maudlintown hammering St Fintans was suprised by that. Shels had a big win despite missing numerous player, all other games went along expected lines, one group in the senior looks alot stronger than the other one.

Replying To Lockerroomboy: "Definitely st martins will be in hurling final, intermediate football they have little interest but they have the squad to go very very close," Two losses it doesn't mean they will not make the QFs but they cannot think that they can just turn up and make it happen from here on in. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 2027 - 19/07/2025 23:26:05 2626583 Link
Replying To Lockerroomboy: "Definitely st martins will be in hurling final, intermediate football they have little interest but they have the squad to go very very close," Well they've now lost 2 on the trot in intermediate football! Apparently they were 5 points up going into injury time and Ballyhougue hit them for a goal, a 2 pointer and then a point to win it. Usual suspects cruising along nicely in Senior and also Gorey seem to be motoring well, possibly a bolter from the pack. Bunclody seem to be really struggling at the minute. Intermediate is proving mkre interesting in many ways. St Martins and cushinstown are without a win with Adamstown flying along with Horeswood in that group. The Anne's definitely the pace setters on the other side and surprisingly The Mary's gave the Fintans a serios trimming, Craanford and Taghmon struggling. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1536 - 20/07/2025 09:06:13 2626595 Link
