Replying To camánouttathat:  "Am I wrong in saying that Rathnure are guaranteed top as they have head to head on St Anne's?

Seen the Ferns Rathnure game. Charlie Mooney took two big hits in that game and got up straight away like nothing happened. He's tall but very slender. Right S&C with senior county set up would do him wonders. Remember watching his father Joe playing years ago who was built like a house and hard as nails so he comes from good stock.

Would have put Rathnure in bottom 3 as pre championship prediction and I'd say their target at start of the year was to stay in senior and get senior championship experience for younger players in their group. But them and St Martins teams of championship so far. Skippy has only lost once in 16 championship games as manager of them and the one they lost they were down to 13 men. Losing was a habit with Rathnure for number of years but seems he's instilled a habit of winning with this team.

Rapps looked a lot better with Liam Ryan back. Hopefully he can stay injury free for rest of the year not just for Rapps but for Wexford hurling in general.

Oulart not going well in both senior and Inter A. Could be a case similar to Buffers Alley and Rathnure where they had a good team over a period of time but when that crop get older and start retiring it leaves a talent vacuum and then they struggle for a number of years just trying to stay in the higher grades."
Agree Jippo is massive for them and us as a county.

Neil O Loughlin is the lead coach at Rathnure and is supposed to be excellent. Was with Skippy at Rapps too.

Oulart have a good crop of players coming, but will take a few years.
