Replying To WanPintWin: "We've been in 4 All-Ireland finals since our move to Leinster. The 3 lost were to two teams being considered as the greatest ever. One went to a replay, another lost by a point. We've been up and down for sure over the past 15 years, but we've been a factor in the All-Ireland championship on many occasions in that time. We're the last team from the Leinster championship to win the All-Ireland. I'm not going to start running down Wexford as I've of time for them, but Wexford's record in this period is quite a bit behind." For sure. We just arent quite good enough. For alot of that time, 2015- 2022, we had a good first 15 but no depth. Then when we started picking up key injuries we got found out badly. We are building again from scratch, and will likely end up with more depth with the way we are approaching the rebuild, but we are lacking really top players so far. The hope would be that some of the predominantly 20- 23 year olds that make up our panel might blossom when they hit their peak physical years over the next 2 or 3 years.

Replying To SixtiesKid: "Oh I forgot, haven't won national league since 1973" We have won half as many again AIs as League titles. That should tell you how much winning Leagues means to us. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 19397 - 01/05/2026 10:48:19 2670129 Link

Coming from the user that said silverware was everything, now saying he couldn't care about silverware. ColmFlaherty (Galway) - Posts: 18 - 01/05/2026 10:54:35 2670135 Link
