Replying To Magpie2: "Another tight game against a lower ranked team. Very good first half but the wheels came off the wagon in the 2nd half. However they eventually came to grips with Down in the last few minutes and got the winning scores to snatch victory. Never easy playing northern teams and Down have some very good hurlers. We on the other hand have to be patient. We are giving lads like Redmond, Breen, Wickham, Regan, Banville and Darren codd plenty of gametime. So important for the development of this team. A win is a win and good to get but we are very much a work in progress but with guys like Chin, Shane Reck Molloy and maybe Jippo to return and provide much needed experience we may manage to get out of 1B. It must be said though the Dublin and Clare games will undoubtedly be extremely tough and a win in both would be invaluable and bring the younger lads on in leaps and bounds. Carlow next up and it might be our biggest challenge to date. Home advantage and a decent local support should see us over the line"
Hopefully we get a decent local support. Bad though we were in that 2nd half our support has been way worse the last good few years.
Replying To Bryson: "Wexford hurling is in some trouble lads yet another pathetic performance against a second rate team. God help us when we play top tier teams like Dublin and Clare. Only positive to take from first 2 games is we can compete with the Ulster teams."
Won't judge the Clare and Dublin games myself until after they are played.
