Congratulations to the Leitrim hurlers who have made it to the Lory Meagher Cup final the second weekend after next. Tremendous stuff boys after missing out on promotion in the league by a whisker.

I see Offaly have a weekly 50/50 draw with a prize fund of €2,500 each week! 50% goes to the prize goes to the winner and 50% goes back to Offaly GAA. The big difference is the entry fee of €5 for one entry, €10 for 3 and €20 for 7 entries. Would this not have been a better option? Much more appealing to supporters and neutrals, sustainable long term and one person spending €5 per week would raise €260 over the year rather than a once off payment of €100.

Replying To ElGranSenor: "We beat them in 2018" As most wexford people. Living in the past.
We need to open our eyes. Saying it since year. We are miles off the pace. It is not been negative just reality.
Don't know where we go from here tbh.
As low as bonnar era.
When lads take 3 attempts to pick up a ball it's worrying.
Deflated. Rock bottom lads

Replying To Galway2001: "good team picked for today but shocking to think Mikey Mulryan isnt making the 26 he was our U20 captain and best player we had this year.
The hype is gone overdrive in Roscommon so hopefully we can capatalise on that
Gaillimg Abu" What hype? Galway are favourites with the bookies and punters. Majority of national media pundits has tipped Galway.
As for U20 player not making your 26 well none are on our 35 plus senior panel and we won U20 Connacht title.

Replying To Cockney_Cat: ""What I think might happen is we pull one last game performance out of us. Like the last few years."
Possibly. Wexford's last game is against Galway, who might have already qualified for the Leinster final." After yesterday's game against Kildare I doubt Micheal will change too much if we are qualified already.

Replying To Expertinall: "The more games you play, the more likely you are to pick up injuries or suspensions, the division the opposition play in does not change that. I agree with you about Galway, but it's an open draw, and they got lucky. Munster is the only one, who has 2 seeded teams, which is now advantageous, with home advantage guaranteed, why can I not call it out? I could also highlight some of the Munster opposition league status, but I doubt it's necessary. I hope there's a great Munster final, tomorrow, but I'm allowed to question the format by which it's arrived at." Good post. You are totally correct, Galway got lucky this year. Kerry and Cork are set up to get it handy every year. They can gear their training for a Munster Final.

Replying To Kickitout: "Good see o flaherty at wing forward think it's a positive move not sure 2 be honest about Daly at centre back the last few times molloy has picked up enda smith and done ok on him but the way game is gone now it's the team u finish with is often the stronger one I'd say Hernon , Tierney, comer o Laoi definitely see game time and either McGrath or Mulhern who are both good kick passers which u need es when comer comer in no point having him in there if slow hand passing o Laoi , McGrath and Mulhern are good kick passers, definitely need to watch Ross kickouts the ones over the midfield press that's how they open up mayo and how they got goal in league v Galway wing backs need to read flight of ball and not get caught under it" If John Daly is an issue relating to the porosity of the Galway defence, he's by no means the only issue in that regard, based on that first half. We're making Darragh Heneghan look like Michael Donnellan so far.

Replying To CarlowJuniorB: "Sickening." Not sure sickening summarises for me
First half we were useless
Great response in second half
Really entertaining game ..
Yes we lost but we get a second go.
Hopefully Brambrick,Hulton and and Ruth will see some Talteann cup action.
Downside for me was flat second half and conceding 6 goals

Replying To brianb: "Yeah - that could have been said. As you said - It wouldn't work perfectly.
Whatever about anything else - I believe the biggest issue with the current format is that teams can't get relegated as a result of poor performance in the championship." To make home/away 'work perfectly' -
Draw Rds 1 & 2 in advance, before a ball is kicked
Eight home teams in Rd 1 are drawn away in Rd 2
Win both, straight to QFs - lose both, out - win/loss to Rd 3
Rd 3 is variable in size - could have 0-16 teams (more the better)

Replying To sponger: "This is embarrassing.
I thought we might win this. Silly me." No more than I expected really. A battling second half but the damage was done in the first half. The inconsistency of this team is hard to understand. The main aim this year was the league and our league form underlined our inconsistency. I think there is another round or something in this Tailteann but the year has been agonising enough already. We don't need any more "nearlys".

Excellent result for the Dublin Hurlers away to Wexford this afternoon, in front of 8,000 fans.
Our 0-10 to 2-13 lead at half time didnt flatter us, even though we had the breeze behind us.
We actually led by 11 pts at one stage late in that first half.
Finished up with 5pts to spare at FT - 0-22 to 2-21
We only had 5 players on the score sheet with Donal Burke top scoring with 15pts.
Lee Chin top scored for the Yellow Bellies with 14pts. (13x frees)
Great to see Rushie start and last the whole game.
I thought EOD was superb until he went off injured early in the game.
Rossiter did his fair bit of moaning after the game. Just saw his post match interview.
He should have no complaints about the result.
Wexford now haven't beaten the Dubs in the Hurling Championship since 2018.
I was surprised by that stat myself tbh.
Finally, a word on our Minor Hurlers who lost out to Kilkenny in the Leinster semi Final by a single point., having led by a point with just 5mins to go. Heart breaking for them but a hell of an effort.
It finished Dublin 1-20 Kilkenny 2-18 FT.
Galway minors hammered Wexford in the other semi - Galway 6-21 Wexford 3-12
Next up for the Dublin Senior Hurlers - away to Galway next Sat evening.
Some effort by Kildare today v Galway, having led by 10pts at one stage.
Busy weekend next weekend for the Dublin supporters....
Another road trip and then back on the Hill for the Footballers, who are thankfully back in a Leinster Football Final.

I dunno why lads getting so excitable about this Wexford team losing.
Nearly half of em are only starting their intercounty careers. Maybe more than half actually. Amd none of em were young Joe Cannings by the way. A few solid lads.but no prodigy.
Some of our established players are on one leg. Jack O, Donohoe, Ryan. None of them are 100% match fit.
Then we've our injuries the same as any other team..Shane Reck badly missed today. Cian Byrne and Molloy too.
Then we've the Gorey lads plus others that just won't commit. Thinking of McDonald, McGuckin and Dunbar specifically.
And if all that isnt enough we've lads off travelling especially Rory O Connor.
We also have top.lads that could contribute but just wont commit.
Im as disappointed as the next man and not looking forward to next week. I said on here last year that Offallys trajectory is up while ours is down. Lads.quoted me all.sorts of stats etc. Well its a lot cleared now.
We have lean times ahead and the sooner lads understand that the better. The better thr environment will be too..It was like a.morgue at the park today. Where's the encouragement? Patience and time needed.
Its going to get worse before it gets better but these lads will hopefully develop and hopefully we've our full panel next year.
We need to survive over the next few years and we also need a top manager when Keith is gone.
We are where we are so lets stop with the histrionics

Sad to see such a decline, so far off winning or challenging for a title, potentially the first decade since the 1940s when Wexford haven't won a senior, minor or U20/21 Championship in Leinster.

Replying To legendzxix: "Losses for Limerick and Clare yesterday. This is where the second chance comes in. If they lose a third game, they cannot have any complaints about the end of their summer." And yet there would be no issue if a Munster or Leinster hurling team lost three matches and qualified. It's bound to happen eventually in one of the groups.
In fact, a Leinster team could lose four matches (three group games and the Leinster final) and continue. Why the double standards?

Replying To Past hurler: "The overall general play and skillset of the squad is closer to Joe McDonagh level than to the top tier of Liam McCarthy which has to be a huge worry for Wexford in the next 2- 3 years." If Chin, Ryan and to a lesser extent JOC don't commit for next year then Wexford are in real trouble.
Joe McDonagh is only a year or 2 away after that unfortunately.
