Wexford Hurling 2025

Replying To WEXILE:  "To be fair that influx of lads like:

Mogie
DOK
MAC
Paudi & Kevin Foley
Liam Ryan
O'Hanlon
Jack Guiney

I know I've left out loads more but that influx were surely better than the list you've mentioned there. But yes those lads do have potential and particularly Conor Foley and Eoin Ryan they are very young to be top defenders. It takes a long time to get the physicality.

Don't mean to be any way argumentative but I think we do sometimes focus on positivity instead of reality. That was some bunch came in under Dunne and to be honest we massively underachieved with them. Also we weren't able to keep them all hurling, lads stepped away for their own reasons."
No don't apologise it's a healthy discussion.

Dee was only starting.
Mogie was excellent under Dunne alright
Hanlon was actually brought in during the Bonner era
Paudie was awful during Dunnes tenure.
Jippo always a star
And yes Mac probably had his best days then

What we're missing here is those lads were brought into the panel much earlier so they were playing senior, fitzgibbon and 21 simultaneously.

The whole point is the 2019 minor team were left waiting too long so are now retired to catch up which I believe they can do.

I'd argue the talent is there every bit as much as it was then although I'm not seeing superstar forwards as such.

Replying To Jedobi:  "Tipp seem to be doing it ie Darragh McCarthy."
Yes he'd be doing very well of he could stay on the pitch

Leinster teams, what's the fascination with over playing the ball in their own half?

Wexford doing it since 2017
Dublin caught out yesterday
Kilkenny threw it away today

All giving up cheap scores from stupid decision making and playing a short ball to team mate in a worse position.

The 2022 U20 team were probably as close to winning an All-Ireland at that level as we have been for a long time, probably left that AI behind us IMO

The 2013-2015 U21 teams were very good but Clare and Limerick were a good bit ahead of us, Galway weren't in Leinster, Offaly were at nothing, and those 2013-2015 Kilkenny U21 teams were as poor teams as Kilkenny have ever produced
