Saturday is a big game that we have to really go for . If we win we will be ahead of Galway on head to head and it gives us a real chance of staying up. We have a 3 week break then before going to Limerick . To keep momentum going now it's very important for our season that we put in a good performance on Saturday and hopefully secure a win Afinestick96 (Wexford) - Posts: 448 - 25/02/2025 08:14:53 2593075 Link
One thing to note lads Limerick will have 4 weeks in a row of games when they play us on March 22nd as they play KK on paddy's weekend now . We will be coming off 3 weeks without a competitive game . It's vital we get a result Saturday to keep momentum going then we have 3 weeks to prepare for Limerick then 4 weeks for the Antrim championship opener Afinestick96 (Wexford) - Posts: 448 - 25/02/2025 08:21:46 2593076 Link
Replying To hunting: "Was Simon Roche injured or why did they put him on and take him off again?. He was after getting on a few balls" He came off for Shane Reck so my thinking would be it was just down to wanting an extra defender to be on to see the game out.

Replying To Viking66: "Hearne, Damien Reck and Rory are in that age group aren't they? Dwyer too." They're all turning 27 at some point this year, it's there three years after that are our issue right now ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 395 - 25/02/2025 09:10:33 2593081 Link
Replying To Yellow: "Fanning E Ryan C foley S Reck Lawlor D Reck Cian Molloy Hearne Dunbar Redmond Chin Jack O Connor Rory O Connor Casey Cian Byrne I'd go with this team and hopefully get the win vs Galway and stay up in Division 1" Would like to see this team too. Its an important game we have to play our best available team. This game will have no bearing on the game in Salthill in May. Afinestick96 (Wexford) - Posts: 448 - 25/02/2025 09:37:27 2593083 Link

Expecting a bumper crowd in Wexford Park this Saturday evening v Galway, it's a big game and need to back up the performance v Clare last weekend and get a result.

Replying To OpenStandWall: "He came off for Shane Reck so my thinking would be it was just down to wanting an extra defender to be on to see the game out." I see Simon Roche is only 18. Is he still in school? Looks like he is going to be a serious hurler for the future. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 867 - 25/02/2025 09:47:12 2593087 Link
On the topic of umpires and refereeing in general, do you think Wexford are getting a raw deal off referees? I am not as close as many of you but Rathnure had 2 players sent off very dubiously from what I saw on Twitter, Rory got a ridiculous yellow in v Clare last year which went unpunished when it happens with other counties. Same with Jack O'Connor v Offaly last year. Cian Byrne pulling on the ball on Sunday and sent off yet Aaron Gillane hit Cathal Barrett off the ball in a Munster final a few years back and got away with it? I saw the Dublin incident this evening and think it had the hallmark of a player deliberately going down to get an opponent, something I think Offaly get away with a lot. I am basing this on podcasts, newspaper articles and the odd bit I see on social media as I do not see many matches live because I don't stay up till 1am for matches. I think referees have no issue sending off a Wexford or Dublin player but don't have the balls to send off players from Munster counties. I don't have a perception of us as a dirty team yet I bet we have more red cards than some other counties. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1804 - 25/02/2025 09:52:18 2593088 Link
Replying To ElGranSenor: "They're all turning 27 at some point this year, it's there three years after that are our issue right now" Yep. Darren Codd is that age too. Only lads even on the panel from those 3 years then are Murphy who I heard was injured, Mcguckin, Clancy, and James Byrne I think. I think James Byrne is a really underrated hurler, I'd like to see more of him. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14978 - 25/02/2025 09:55:01 2593089 Link
Replying To Yellow: "Fanning E Ryan C foley S Reck Lawlor D Reck Cian Molloy Hearne Dunbar Redmond Chin Jack O Connor Rory O Connor Casey Cian Byrne I'd go with this team and hopefully get the win vs Galway and stay up in Division 1" I'd go with that. Still 6 lads 22 and younger getting experience there too. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14978 - 25/02/2025 09:58:10 2593091 Link

Still 6 lads 22 and younger getting experience there too. And experience lads like Dooley and Kevin Foley on the bench, along with other younger lads like Mcguckin, Tucker, Byrne, Roche. Is Dwyer injured again? What is wrong with Niall Murphy and how long will he be out for? Is Darragh Kehoe back training yet? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14978 - 25/02/2025 10:00:34 2593092 Link

Not sure that's our best available team, but it's a good mix of experience and youth. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14978 - 25/02/2025 10:01:48 2593093 Link

I'll be interested to see if hopper made the cut. He's almost always overlooked. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3412 - 25/02/2025 10:01:53 2593094 Link
Replying To Past hurler: "I see Simon Roche is only 18. Is he still in school? Looks like he is going to be a serious hurler for the future." Think Roche is 19. This is his last year u20. He left Peters last summer. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14978 - 25/02/2025 10:04:04 2593096 Link

This is actually a great example because we actually won the game so can't be accused of sour grapes. I coach 8/9 year olds at the minute and you'd get onto them for putting their foot in front of the ball when hurls are flying. It's your own fault if you get hit. From age 6 you'd be teaching them the first skill is to protect yourself. That red card was absolute madness. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3412 - 25/02/2025 10:05:21 2593098 Link
Replying To Yellow: "Fanning E Ryan C foley S Reck Lawlor D Reck Cian Molloy Hearne Dunbar Redmond Chin Jack O Connor Rory O Connor Casey Cian Byrne I'd go with this team and hopefully get the win vs Galway and stay up in Division 1" Pretty much our best available 15 at the minute but would like to see us doing something about the goalkeeper situation still. He's getting on and we let the two viable replacements go. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3412 - 25/02/2025 10:07:26 2593099 Link

Niall Murphy got a belt of a hurl under the arm at the Tipp match and has been injured since, he was hoping to get the green light for the Clare match but mustn't have done. goreyll (Wexford) - Posts: 139 - 25/02/2025 10:28:49 2593103 Link

I agree Doylerwex but id say we are unlikely to see anyone else get a game in goal from now on unless we lose on Saturday Afinestick96 (Wexford) - Posts: 448 - 25/02/2025 10:35:36 2593104 Link
Replying To goreyll: "Niall Murphy got a belt of a hurl under the arm at the Tipp match and has been injured since, he was hoping to get the green light for the Clare match but mustn't have done." Hope he's OK. Another underrated player. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14978 - 25/02/2025 11:32:55 2593116 Link
