Replying To Doylerwex: "I know. When the whistle blew it felt like somebody made a mistake and it just couldn't be over.
We were staying in Spanish point in Clare the week after and some auld lad just kept going on about how we blew it and it should have been ours......
Looking at cork and Limerick now it's hard to see the gap closing any time soon.
We just need an absolutely mammoth effort at all levels.
Coaching young lads I'm seeing a huge lack of ambition. They're not even dreaming of winning an all Ireland with Wexford which makes no sense to me." Suppose that's chicken and egg, they've no real ambition because they haven't seen much in the way of success to encourage any ambition
You go to somewhere like Kilkenny and they've had such success that when they are struggling like they are now, there's huge move to make sure their strong culture doesn't fall apart

Replying To Viking66: "We lost to Antrim in the u21 semifinal in 2013.
But it was a great year for New Hope for sure. The start of many victories against the Empire over the following decade!
Seriously though, some of those players like Chin probably have as good a win/loss ratio against Kilkenny at u21 and Senior over their careers as any Wexford hurlers ever had." I know. That was my point. It all kicked off in 14.
I would need to look it up but I'd say that group would have the best record of any Wexford team against the old enemy.
The difference is in the 50s Kilkenny were excellent but we were better.
In the 10s Kilkenny were only very good and so were we.
Anyone going to this dinner tomorrow evening?
