Replying To Stmunnsriver: "of the 34 counties in cship, inc london and new york and kilkenny, wexford have never played 5, who are they?" Clare, Sligo, Leitrim, Antrim and New York Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14127 - 20/10/2022 09:39:28 2444700 Link
Is it not 6? Clare, Donegal, Antrim, Sligo, Leitrim, and New York? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14127 - 20/10/2022 09:44:01 2444701 Link

Okay, now that others have had a go as well, I'll be a little more specific in my guesses. I'm enough of a history nerd about Wexford's six-in-a-row Leinster and four-in-a-row All-Ireland to know that we beat Antrim in the semi-final of one of those years, and beat Clare in the All-Ireland Final of 1917. So that rules those two out. And much later than that, but still a little while ago now, I remember us playing Roscommon during Jason Ryan's time in charge. So, I reckon four counties we've never played in championship are New York, Donegal, Sligo, and Leitrim. Still can't think of a fifth one, so am sticking to my guns that maybe it's a trick question and the answer is Wexford, because we've never played ourselves!

Waterford we played in last couple of years, cork in 2011 Kerry I think in 1917 limerick we played a few years and there was contiversy tipp aswell we played in qualifiers. Definitely never played New York but played london in a qualifier. Bet Galway in 2010 don't remember playing mayo but reckon we played them when we were good in 1910s Roscommon maybe aswell Leitrim I would say we never played. Sligo the same. Donegal wouldn't say we played. Derry played a few times in the naughties down we bet in 08 Antrim never played Fermanagh I think we played once in the naughties but that could have been a league final Armagh we bet in 08 we played Monaghan in the park and Cavan I think we played in 45 Wexfordgaa (Wexford) - Posts: 318 - 20/10/2022 10:37:15 2444711 Link

Didn't look that far back but yes we beat Clare. We didn't beat Antrim though. We only played Cavan and Monaghan from Ulster. Antrim have never won an Ulster title as far as I know. So my amended 5 are - Antrim Donegal Leitrim Sligo New York Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14127 - 20/10/2022 10:51:41 2444714 Link

And just before our 4 in a row AI team. And we beat them in 1913 in the AISF. So I'm back to 4 again!!!! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14127 - 20/10/2022 11:37:28 2444730 Link

The 4 counties plus ourselves. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 14127 - 20/10/2022 11:44:25 2444734 Link
This came up lately in our club and I thought Kerry was one of them? ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1264 - 20/10/2022 11:46:57 2444736 Link

Antrim have never won an Ulster title as far as I know. So my amended 5 are - Antrim Donegal Leitrim Sligo New York" Antrim have actually won 10 Ulster titles, but I don't blame you for not remembering them (!), as they were a long time ago: 1900, 1901, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1946, and 1951. Reckoned then it had to be 1913 that Wexford played them since that was the first year of our Leinster six in a row, and sure enough, according to good ole' Wikipedia, we beat them in the semi-final that year by 4-4 to 0-1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1913_All-Ireland_Senior_Football_Championship link Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2648 - 20/10/2022 12:18:17 2444745 Link
Replying To ExiledInWex: "This came up lately in our club and I thought Kerry was one of them?" Lost the 1913 and '14 All-Ireland Finals to Kerry, and beat them in the 1915 Final. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2648 - 20/10/2022 12:28:24 2444747 Link
My stab at it would be Donegal Leitrim Sligo Galway NY Galway seem odd but I cannot remember playing them in the modern era. Tey could be there in times past in Semis zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 1904 - 21/10/2022 09:08:09 2444873 Link
Replying To zinny: "My stab at it would be Donegal Leitrim Sligo Galway NY Galway seem odd but I cannot remember playing them in the modern era.

I was at it miserable day in salt hill Marty Morrissey sang purple and gold with us in the pub after great craic. Wexfordgaa (Wexford) - Posts: 318 - 21/10/2022 10:01:07 2444879 Link
