Was in at the senior games in the park on Saturday and got chatting to a Gorey man and this came up in conversation. He made the point that there shouldn't be a need for a 2nd "town club" as there are lot of families playing with Gorey that should technically be playing with surrounding clubs based on the parish boundaries. Kilanerin/Rocks, St Patricks, Cranford, Castletown and Realt Na Mara and i think someone other club all come close into the town - apparently St Patrick's is right into where Gorey rangers has its pitch or close enough to there?

Was only at the 4 senior games this weekend and our own junior QF but by all accounts there were some very good games in intermediate over the weekend. OpenStandWall (Wexford) - Posts: 293 - 29/09/2025 12:06:45 2637793 Link 0 |

Clough is Pat's, don't know where the border exactly ends but most of the road between Camolin and Gorey is Pat's territory as far as I know

For me its hard to look by the Martins in senior, they've really impressed me this year and find it very hard to see them being bet although Rathnure have had a very good year so far and I think theyll get to a final but will come up short. Intermediate is similar, very hard to see anyone beating Cloughbawn. I think they'll beat the Alley and go on to beat either Fethard or the James's. In the other semi final it shows the quality both clubs have that they can get back go this stage missing so many key players. I see it as a 50/50 game, I'd expect a bite in fethard after the beating they got in the football. The top 3 grades are all similar in that there is a fairly hot favourite in the 3 of them. I would see Intermediate A as the grade that is most likely to throw an upset. Monageer have been impressive, they topped the group and destroyed a very week cushinstown thr weekend. I've seen all four teams left in this and dont think there is much between any of them. Possibly Davidstown or Clongeen but wouldn't be surprised if any of them won it.

Didn't get to any of the games over the weekend as was working . I did hear 3 of the Senior quarter finals were dissapointing bar Gorey and the Anne's . Judging by the score lines the intermediate games were nip and tuck with very little between all teams left in the competition. Who stood out at the weekend and who is really putting their hand up for inclusion in Keith Rossiters plans for next year ? Afinestick96 (Wexford) - Posts: 705 - 29/09/2025 14:08:49 2637817 Link 0 |

Most games went as expected over weekend in senior anyways . Martins and rathnure way too strong for oular and glynn. Gorey got off to a flyer v annes and annes were nt able to reel them in was the only game that stood up to expectation of what a 1/4 finsl should be .

Yeah, Gorey is more or less the opposite to Wexford town in that regard. In Wexford, you have people on the outskirts of town, who should be with one of the town clubs, going out of town and joining the likes of Glynn-Barntown or St. Martin's. In Gorey, there are people on the outskirts of town who join the town club when based on where they actually live, they should be with one of the clubs you mention instead.

I think that at least at senior level, results from this year and last year show that teams who finish 5th or 6th in the group have no place in the quarter-finals. Bear in mind that they get there just by beating another "bad" team who also finished 5th or 6th. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 3134 - 29/09/2025 15:13:51 2637832 Link 0 |

What's happening the harriers is very similar to the county team. Are we a one man team? I don't think so. Is it the case that very capable players are saying "sure Chin will do it" to themselves? I think us and the county team will have no choice but to improve when chin's day comes and perhaps I'm naive but I believe that will happen. It was extremely frustrating watching on Saturday. It was clear what ferns were doing, and there was Chin in the edge of the square for 52 minutes....... Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3942 - 29/09/2025 15:22:34 2637835 Link 0 |

Suppose that's a function of the surrounding clubs Shels - Senior hurling and football Glynn - Senior hurling and football Crossabeg - Senior hurling and football Martin's - Senior hurling and intermediate football (Would be Senior football if they were bothered enough) Anne's - Senior hurling and intermediate football Castletown - Senior football and intermediate hurling Kilanerin/Tara Rocks - Senior hurling and intermediate football Other clubs surrounding Gorey are weak enough though ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 650 - 29/09/2025 15:43:10 2637841 Link 0 |

Can understand your frustration but surely management arent blind or stupid . Chin as good as he is needs space to win , turn and run to create problems for any back line standing in full forward being double marked u need to have quality ball in plus extreme stick work to create goal chances . At 33 hard to have all that plus turn of foot to get away . But fear harriers are going to lose few more players through age too in next couple years . Have nt seen heard much of any stand outs to replace the like of kehoe Mallon bridges mulligan and few more oldr lads . you would know better are there any on their junior team or minors that could step up . Not trying kick a horse when down, but last few years at older underage they have nt been burning it up and their u21s gave walkover to shels as too many were involved already with senior which is understandable playing following night but surely some sort of team could ve taken to the field . Saying that winning u21 few years back should ve helped . To bolster adult . Although good few already playing senior . Formertownie (Wexford) - Posts: 461 - 29/09/2025 16:05:43 2637845 Link 0 |

No point sugar coating it we were terrible, especially in the opening 20 minutes . At the same time Duffry played very well, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they won it out. That could be said of the other 3 remaining teams also. Probably the most open of the top 3 grades. Senior is probably Martins to lose, but it's good to see Ferns still going well, and Id be happy enough if Rathnure won it either. From the selfish me going to see winter hurling point of view Id still like Martins to win it, as they would have the best chance of making an impression in Leinster. Rathnure have been great to watch, they play a really good style of hurling, but I'm not sure their game or players would suit winter hurling as well. I don't think Ferns have enough top players if they suffered a few injuries, and some of Goreys lads still don't look that fit, although they have the size and skill. Intermediate is probably Cloughbawns to lose, and having spent alot of time drinking up around there over the years Id be delighted for the friends I have up there, but at the same time that could be said of Fethard too. The Alley have surprised me this year, but I'm not sure how they will get on when they come up against the other 3 teams in a knockout game, who have players all over the pitch who are Senior sized as regards strength and fitness and have good Senior experience. From the following Wexford teams in Leinster point of view Id be pretty sure any of the other 3 teams apart from Cloughbawn might go further in Leinster, best place to see a lot of the lads in November if they win Intermediate would be Paddy Doyles.

Annes don't have any border with town. Taghmon is as close to town as they are. Rosslare would be closer to town, and arent even Intermediate in either code. Think you have Kilanerin the wrong way around as regards grades in codes! There are only 3 other clubs with borders with Gorey, Craanford are Intermediate in hurling and football which is pretty good. St Pats have some good underage teams, and good coaches over them. Don't know much about Ballygarret tbh, but something must've gone wrong as they suffered successive relegations. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 17122 - 29/09/2025 16:38:31 2637853 Link 0 |

Yup. Think St. Anne's are too far down to get any "spillover" from Wexford town, and just to point out that you have the Kilanerin/Tara Rocks thing the wrong way round as regards hurling and football, but your point stands. Generally speaking, the other clubs around Wexford town are more attractive than the ones around Gorey. Even more to the point is how you can go in any direction from Wexford town and find an "attractive" club. In Gorey, you could only go north, towards Kilanerin or Castletown. Go any other direction and you're looking at Craanford, St. Pat's, or Ballygarrett/Réalt na Mara. No disrespect to any of them, but a family with no strong ties to any of them would probably be more likely to send their children to Naomh Éanna instead.

Senior hurling is the draw in gorey and surrounds. No matter what we think or wish hell of a lot more dream of being a wexford hurler than a wexford footballer .. Maybe if either team got promoted to senior hurling and put the effort needed in maybe the draw would be more outwards than inwards .

Would there be any chance of St Pat's and Ballygarrett joining forces? Population wise Courtown should have plenty to support a much stronger Ballygarrett but soccer is top dog.
