Replying To Stmunnsriver: "my point its a sad sign of the decline in what would have been 3 consistant feeder teams for the county team in the past 40 years" There is only 2 Ross district teams in Senior this year which is unheard of from my memory of club games going back to the mid 90s bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 12/01/2022 10:20:18 2394591 Link

The decline of New Ross district isn't anything to do with the County Board, or especially the county selectors. Solely down to the clubs involved unfortunately, and of course lack of playing numbers coming through in some cases. I'm sure they will indulge in the usual victim complex if they feel they are under-represented though. It's only fair and correct that the management cast the net far and wide in search of talent. The irony being, the same lads questioning why Adamstown have so many on it at the minute would give out if it appeared to be a closed-shop (or god forbid a Ross district player was over-looked). I mean, it's easy to nit-pick about some clubs having a few lads on it, and others having none. Like St.Fintan's and Rosslare haven't been competitive for a while either, yet they have multiple representatives too. Besides, I'm sure we are firmly in experimental mode at the minute, and the finalised squad will look entirely different in a few weeks. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1417 - 12/01/2022 11:49:50 2394607 Link
Replying To Stmunnsriver: "god yea, true, thats some change, horeswood,clongeen,taghmon,adamstown have gone down in recent years, and reports are none will return to senior soon either" I think Fethard or Gorey will win Intermediate this year. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 12/01/2022 11:51:26 2394608 Link

Replying To Stmunnsriver: "iv said it before i think gorey will win senior shortly , and become a powerhouse , the school have got their act together" The thing is over half the school are from outside the town and other clubs. And you have to remember they are a townie club. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 642 - 12/01/2022 16:20:49 2394652 Link

I seen they hammered Portlaoise CBS in the Senior B competition yesterday, anyone know the breakdown of the team by club? bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 12/01/2022 17:06:37 2394655 Link

Replying To Stmunnsriver: "iv said it before i think gorey will win senior shortly , and become a powerhouse , the school have got their act together" It depends entirely on their senior hurling set-up too. They didn't really capitalise on the split season the last two years (flopped vs Crossabeg when holding a lead) with an accommodating hurling coach. I have heard they have gone to a more old-school hurling man this year so football may be an after-thought again. Breakdown of the Gorey CS panel is what you'd expect really. The bulk are from Naomh Eanna, with a sprinkle from Castletown and Kilanerin. Shamey O'Hagan from Buffers Alley ordinarily if he was fit, and I think there a couple from St.Patrick's too but not sure. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1417 - 12/01/2022 17:20:15 2394658 Link
Replying To Stmunnsriver: "my point its a sad sign of the decline in what would have been 3 consistant feeder teams for the county team in the past 40 years" Agree about Horeswood but tbh ourselves and Clongeen have spent very few seasons as Senior clubs over the last 40 years.

Replying To wexico15: "Was thinking the same this year will be there 4th at Intermediate A" The 3 lads are good players who want to play intercounty. Fair play to them. Intercounty doesnt suit everyone. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11848 - 12/01/2022 18:07:00 2394665 Link
Replying To Stmunnsriver: "god yea, true, thats some change, horeswood,clongeen,taghmon,adamstown have gone down in recent years, and reports are none will return to senior soon either" It goes in cycles. Taghmon havent won a senior title since the 50s. Clongeen only won 1 ever. They had a golden generation of players, got up to senior in the late 90s from memory, and 1won their 1 and only senior title in the noughties. Adanstowns Golden generation was before the 2nd world war I think. Agree about Horeswood. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11848 - 12/01/2022 18:25:26 2394668 Link

rossiter was very good at 6 again jim was solid at 5,, glen ,eoin nolan ,carty were good ,staples at corner back had a good first outing,,brooks and dylan furlond did well when they came on, ben kicked good points, hughes and tubritt never got in to the game, a corner back got got stung for the goal, could not see which one it was,, thought it was a poor game, thought when brooks got goal to put us 1 up we would win it, but it was our last score as they kicked 5 pts in a row Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 2842 - 13/01/2022 11:11:46 2394713 Link

Replying To Stmunnsriver: "tagmon have churned out some fine footballers, had a very good tean in late 80s, could have won senior," I agree for sure that over the 40 years there have been some excellent footballers play for the club. But to imply we have been a powerhouse of football over the last 40 years is stretching it a bit even for a supporter like me! Over the last 40 years we have mostly been an Intermediate football club. Currently there are players who might be good enough now too only they dont want to commit to Intercounty.

Few lads got carried away when we beat laois, very poor last night, 3 forwards not near good enough for inter county same can be said about defense, missed a 2 easy frees on the right, no left foot free taker, Lockerroomboy (Wexford) - Posts: 437 - 13/01/2022 12:34:30 2394728 Link
Replying To wexico15: "Thanks, Laois beating Meath after been so poor against us shows how all these results can be taken with a pinch of salt, all about been ready for Sligo on Jan 30th." I was looking at our league schedule (planning my own itinerary to attend some games), and I am optimistic that promotion is an attainable goal. But it's imperative we start off with a win at home vs Sligo, because an away trip to Cavan the following week looks to be the toughest away assignment. Of the three remaining road games, we should beat London quite comfortably (if we don't, we have no business even thinking about promotion), while Andy Moran is an unknown quantity so far in Leitrim and we should be aspiring for a statement victory. Everything could hinge on our final game away to Carlow, and it could be tasty. Taking on Tipp at home is more favourable than travelling there and they have gone a bit stale since their 2020 highs, and we have a chance of exacting revenge on Waterford in round five. I would expect us to win all our home games, including taking the scalp of Tipp, and beat London and Leitrim away. That would put us on the cusp of promotion, and two crucial weeks I see are round 5 when Cavan host Tipp on the same day we host Waterford, and ourselves travelling to Carlow when Tipp and Cavan close with home games against London and Waterford respectively. Hopefully some of the stronger teams take enough points off each other to make that Carlow game elementary. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1417 - 13/01/2022 13:43:47 2394744 Link
