That was some battle in terrible conditions. Well done to Cloughbawn, hard luck to Davidstown. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20884 - 24/10/2026 16:44:06 2698442 Link 0 |

Well done to Shels, better team on the day. Hard luck to Rathnure, their time will come once they all stay committed to the cause. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20884 - 25/10/2026 18:05:59 2698518 Link 0 |

Fair play. Wind ruined real games. No end of effort from all teams in finals.

Shels were a way better team and I would say were not been giving the credit they deserved coming into the final as Rathnure had beaten the Martins. They were unbeaten all year through workmanlike performances and so I guess nobody took notice. Dooley, the two Cashes and Nolan picking up their sixth county medal - some achievement. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 2257 - 26/10/2026 06:49:57 2698557 Link 0 |

Is it me or is the standard of hurling in wexford extremely poor,coming out of most group games and from qfinals till yesterday that has been my overriding feeling about this year's hurling??? I look at other counties on clubber i feel its way off compared to them?? theboys (Wexford) - Posts: 314 - 26/10/2026 08:05:54 2698563 Link 0 |

It was always going to get worse with the end of the split season. I get Rathnure dont play Football, but nearly every other club does. Jumping from code to code every couple of weeks isnt going to help lads stick work.

Or maybe playing both codes helps? Shels destroyed Rathnure physically, the amount of times they turned the ball over at Rathnure's half-back line and surged into open ground was shocking. Had at least two goal chances cleared off the line. Their football stock told on a heavy day for hurling. Our last Leinster winning Wexford team had plenty of lads who played both codes. With Cloughbawn winning the double, Davidstown getting to two finals, Martin's getting to the final in their least perferred code and Shels perennial contenders in both codes, dual is the only way. Anyone who says any different is blaggarding. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1573 - 26/10/2026 10:54:47 2698570 Link 1 |

I'm interested to see how this one goes. Lough Lene Gaels have a lot of older Retired county stalwarts in McNicolas (41 years old!) Tommy Doyle and Noel Conaty with a smattering of very good young lads. Hopefully a good appreciative crowd shows up for a good match. Westmeath hurling fans can be a boisterous bunch.

Dual is definitely the only way. You have missed my point though. The standard of Football snd Hurling in our Championships was generally better when we had the split season. As regards our last Leinster winning team the fact we didnt have a split season was an advantage, as those lads were still hurling right up til Leinster started. Thats the only drawback to the split season, whichever code that goes first the clubs that go on to represent the county are at a disadvantage. Just out of interest do you think if Shels had of beaten Kilanerin they would also have beaten Rathnure? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20884 - 26/10/2026 11:32:12 2698575 Link 0 |

Jogger still a top player, top county standard. Hes only 33. David Williams is excellent too, as good a lad at his age as any hurler in Leinster. Should be a good game, Ill try make it up to give the lads from over the water a bit of support. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20884 - 26/10/2026 11:37:38 2698576 Link 1 |
