Replying To Viking66: "A good result for Marys Enniscorthy against Marys Mullingar in Junior A. 10-17 to 0-10. Not sure if the Mullingar lads were missing many players." Think their Senior A footballers were out yesterday, don't know how much that would have impacted their Junior A hurlers though ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 1585 - 17/10/2026 16:47:18 2697658 Link

Replying To Viking66: "Only a subjective opinion obviously- -Oisin Foley seemed to be carrying Crossabeg on his back -Joe Barrett composed as usual -Conor Firman reads the game so well -Conal Flood knee seems to be holding up well -Cathal Doyle only played one game as he was injured but scored 2-11 in the relegation final -Charlie Mooney moves and hurls well for a lad his size -Daire Barden back from Oz and improved game on game -Jim White solid at the back for Oylegate -Michael Dundon stood out in all the Clongeen games I saw this year. -Seanie O'Neill seems to have found another gear since the knockouts started -Oisin Hayes workrate massively improved over the last year and good on frees -Tomas O'Connor settling in well after his move up from Kerry -Barry Hassey inspirational big lad -David Dunne different gravy at Intermediate Saying all that doesn't mean they would neccessarily succeed at intercounty, or even want to play intercounty at all. Some of the lads who stood out to me for their age would be u20s next year, Oisin Moore, Colin Carley, Jamie Kennedy, Ryan Doran, Conor Fanning, Sean Hyland, Ian Reilly." Gavin Sheehan must have 12 Goals scored by now and has created 25 at least. Scored 1 v Oulart and made 4 while in earlier rounds scored 4 against same opponent. How would he go with Barry O Connor and Cian Byrne in Wexfords full forward line this year??? Obviously know it won't happen but it would be tasty… Spuds&GAA (Wexford) - Posts: 48 - 17/10/2026 18:57:26 2697677 Link

And thats not meant as any sort of insult to Sheehan. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20852 - 18/10/2026 19:59:43 2697789 Link
Replying To Viking66: "And in any case if you are wanting a Gusserane intercounty footballer to go intercounty hurling Mark Rossiter would be more likely to make it than Gavin Sheehan. And thats not meant as any sort of insult to Sheehan." Well I would have to disagree. Gavin played Full Back on Minor Hurling team, He had made the Wexford Senior Football Squad at 19 and Football Manager of the day wouldn't release him to play U-21 Hurling with Wexford. His Pace is the Factor- Couldn't see many to match him over a 60 or 100 Meter Sprint from say last year's Hurling or Football Squad. Mark Rossiter too is a very good hurler but doesn't have the speed of Gavin Sheehan….You could play him as a wing back, Midfielder, half Forward, FF or Corner. Has a very serious hand.

Agree on all that, hes a good hurler. Also has size, pace and plenty of dog. But Mark is a better hurler. And isnt small or slow either.

I know this is totally contraversial and not what 90% of people in Wexford want to hear but in terms of performance on a national level it would be fair to say the the Wexford footballers are outperforming the hurlers currently. If the footballers were to maintain Div. 2 status this year it would definitely outrank anything which I feel the hurlers are likely to achieve. With that in mind i wonder if there are any dual capable players that might be likely to switch codes to Football in 2027. I'm bemused when I see the thoughts of Sheehan and Rossiter potentially playing Hurling. What would the football team be like if Liam Ryan, Kevin Foley, Simon Donohoe, Conor Devitt and the likes were to give football a go for the year!! I'm sure there are good younger men on the Hurling panel that could be added to the list too. indaknownow (Offaly) - Posts: 124 - 20/10/2026 15:36:38 2698029 Link

Conor Devitt hasn't been with the Wexford hurlers for a few years now, Kevin Foley wouldn't be up to that level as a footballer, Liam Ryan has probably played his last game for the Wexford hurlers and there'd be next to chance of him coming back for the footballers, he's just had so many injuries down through the years Maybe Donohoe, has played for the footballers before ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 1585 - 20/10/2026 16:24:01 2698035 Link
