Gorey had Darragh Fitzpatrick sent off on a straight red for an off the ball, or very late, reckless challenge. But even with Cushe and Doran playing well, along with young Dylan Cooke Leonard from Gorey Community School who looks an intercounty prospect, and a good shot to point ratio, they just failed to put enough on the board. If it hadn't of been for Taghmons wastefulness, especially in the 1st half, they would have been out of the game long before the sending off. Partly this might have been due to the energy and running shown by Taghmons middle 8, but also Cian Molloy who much was expected from was kept very quiet, as were most of the Gorey forwards despite Jack Dorans best efforts. Mary's or Fethard in the semi final will probably provide a sterner test, and I'm still sticking to my prediction at the very start that we will have an all New Ross District final. Missed the 1st game but a friend reckoned the Pats Adamstown game was absolutely dreadful, with Adamstown winning comfortably but not predicted to go any further. That came from a Clongeen man though, so probably has to be taken with a pinch of salt!!!! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 6704 - 02/10/2022 08:28:31 2442467 Link 0 |

Watched cushinstown v clongeen on the stream. Firstly I want to wish Donal porter a speedy recovery after a nasty injury near the end of the game where the clongeen lad got sent off. Apparently I've just heard it's a leg break for him. In the end scoreline flattered cushinstown especially in the first half where clongeen got through very easily and possibly had 4/5 goal chances. Rossiter made some excellent saves. Eoin porter was the best player on the field at centre back. Wexfordgaa (Wexford) - Posts: 128 - 02/10/2022 19:47:40 2442550 Link 0 |

Castletown, shels and st James all from the one group winning their quarter finals convincingly. Agree with previous poster the Starlights were very disappointing never threatened at all and Shels won at their ease. You would expect the Shels to beat st Anne's but you could never write them off and a lot will depend on the injuries to Liam Og and Aidan Rochford.

Absolutely scandalous tackle. Should get a lengthy ban but we know that wont happen.

Would I be right in thinking its Annes and Jimmies 1st semi finals since their respective titles in 2014&15? Looks like the door opened with very disappointing years for Starlights and Martins, absentees catching up on Gusserane and Crossabeg while Kilanerin look to still be a bit green.

Fourth official was up to his usual tricks in Wexford Park yesterday. During the Ferns game, when there was a genuine penalty claim and one of their mentors leaped off his chair appealing, he was accusing him of verbal abuse. In the second game, he removed a fella from the technical area for nothing, and wouldn't let another lad warm up because he wasn't on the team list. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1285 - 03/10/2022 08:33:04 2442579 Link 0 |
The video of the Clongeen tackle is on Youtube, can catch it at 2:06 in the interview with Matthew Cody and James Bolger. Can find the video under Wexford GAA. ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 69 - 03/10/2022 10:35:29 2442596 Link 0 |
It was horrendous. Was it that that caused Porter's injury, or was that a separate incident?

That's what caused the injury

Just watched it the tackle was late OK. Not sure there was that much intent to cause serious injury though. It looked like he wanted to tackle Porter then realised he was too far behind and his momentum carried him into Porters planted foot. It wasn't studs up soccer style.

Looked intentional to me and a lash out of frustration, wasn't anywhere near the ball.

Eh no i dont think so. Its Gaelic football, you want to tackle you go in with your hands to tackle, on the actual ball. He literally went in and sweeped his standing leg with zero intention of tackling for the ball. His momentum had nothing to do with anything, he swung his leg with clear intent to cause injury. Horrible tackle, no excuse and one it seems has caused serious injury. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1052 - 03/10/2022 12:03:26 2442618 Link 0 |
Agree he was miles too late for a tackle on the ball.

Have just had a look at it myself. It was an awful tackle where he just swung the leg at Porter to sweep the feet from under him, and made no attempt whatsoever to make an ordinary tackle. May not have intended to cause such serious injury but that doesn't change the fact it was highly dangerous play and that a long suspension is warranted.
