Replying To Viking66:  "Hopefully we might beat Louth. We werent that far off them a couple years ago, and we are better now. A couple of late penalties put a gloss on the result for Louth that day."
It would be the shock of the century of Wexford were to beat Louth who are reigning Leinster champions, and are absolutely flying at the moment. Being 'not that far off them' a couple of years ago counts for absolutely nothing. Louth just keep on getting better.

It would be a huge shock for sure, but anything is possible in real Championship. Knockout.

Rushie is back! The big man has returned to the panel for the championship. He was key part of Na Fianna winning Ireland and will be interesting to see where he might be tried if he gets a start.

Chris C has his old spot at centre half nailed down. Liam was tried in around the square a few times but not sure that's n urgent need, Regardless of all that he be great addition even if he does not become a first choice.

Replying To Viking66:  "Think we had more than 9 wides tbh. Plus shots on goal saved. There was a crossfield beeeze that didnt help either side that way. But as you say, it doesn't matter now."
Ah it is great that Wexford got Promoted.
Fair play.

Problem will be staying up next year. Hopefully we will have the lads back who missed all of this year with injury or recovering from injury back fully fit, we will need them all if we are to be competitive in div2.

Will he start though? Now I'm a great believer in the lack of need for 3-4 months pre-season at 35 years old especially but is he more likely to be an impact sub than a starter?
He is a great option in backs or forwards. I'm really confident for the year ahead and believe we can win Leinster and give a redemption for the semi final last year. Not saying I think we will win All-Ireland but we are better than the semi last year.
