If Peters done have a Leinster A title at any age by the time this years first years are finished 6th year I think they'll never be back to their standards.There 3rd years and down definitely have the players and the coaches to win a junior or juvenile medal in the next 2-3 years and I honest think they'll never could carry it into senior their first years now look like they'll never could win Leinster A and they just won by 40 points in the Wexford championship and their 2nd years are probably the 2nd best at that age on 2nd to Kieran's but could honestly see them beating them if it came down to the big stages 3rd years don't look to bad either with the junior team nearly only being 3rd years and I would still say this is the weakest year out of the 3 I've talked about

On that good counsel had a good win Thursday beating Johnstown with the likes of Sean o Brian paddy Quigley jack Cullen Joe mcarthy playing all on Wexford teams. Playing Kierán's in the semi now and have every chance to win it. I hope they do win it would be great for Wexford and brilliant for the young chaps gcc has been the best school in Wexford for a good while now

They need to get their coaching contacts back to last years levels.1st years only going training once a week this year, with a half hour in a lunchtime as well. Not sure about 2nd and 3rd years. That's just not enough.
Absolutely they have the players and Rory Jacob is s good coach.

Counsel Looking Good aswell done well in the junior this year and got unlucky in the final vs CBS, There's been some good games between them in the younger grades the last few years although their first years only managed to beat Wexford CBS by 4 points and it looks like Peters are a far stronger side at this years first years

If you are picking a win v Dublin as a barometer that things were OK in the u20s when they ultimately lost to Laois, or a minor team completely humiliated by Kilkenny by 20+ points as not being a bad team then we have completely hit peak acceptance of average.
My gf is from Tipp and they never accepted anything less than winning at any level as being good enough. They would be furious over not coming out of Munster. Losing anything is not good enough. But that's why they have 20+ All-Ireland and we have 6 and one in just under 60 years.
