This one is on live on TG4 which is great news Hope Wexford can put in a performance like they did vs Limerick and we can put the Dublin game out of our minds Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 549 - 08/02/2022 14:57:27 2399342 Link

If ye pull it off ye are on a roll and just what is needed for confidence. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 2660 - 08/02/2022 20:08:23 2399424 Link
Clare are a decent side. Our championship record against them is poor but league is quite good. I'd expect a serious response from them after last week but they are also without some key players. That being said, we are still without Shaun Murphy, chin, k Foley and roc. If we reach the same levels as the limerick game and begin to sort out the wides I'd be hopeful of a result here. If we were to win the pressure is off for the league really. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 2660 - 09/02/2022 08:29:50 2399441 Link

Be nice get to a league final wouldn't it. 1973 a long time since won one. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 642 - 09/02/2022 09:39:05 2399451 Link

Are Foley and ROC definitely out? Yes a win should see relegation fears ruled out but a win might put us in the mix for the league also. In the League generally home advantage is a big advantage so while I'd be hopeful of a performance, that wont necessarily mean we will win. Also the Clare lads wont have the added incentive of getting 1 over 1 of their own this year it will be interesting to see what effect this has- if any.

Expect to see a big performance from Clare on their home patch. There's also history between the two teams over the last few years even allowing for Davy's exit. Even though Clare are down a good few starters particularly in the forwards I think wexford are going to have to hurl really well to get a result in Ennis. The challenge is to get consistent performances from week to week as that's what's going to be needed in the Leinster championship HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 471 - 10/02/2022 12:27:38 2399640 Link
Any team news yet lads as regards injuries clearing up? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11847 - 10/02/2022 12:44:56 2399648 Link
I'd expect Clare to shade this one. wexford were vry impressive last week but that kind of scoring probably wont win another game this year - albeit they were up against a seriously strong back line to be fair. I just think there will be a backlash from Clare. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 10/02/2022 13:55:04 2399658 Link

Replying To Viking66: "Any team news yet lads as regards injuries clearing up?" Some the injuries will be a long time before they are cleared up unfortunately. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 642 - 10/02/2022 15:29:28 2399676 Link
Replying To countyman2022: "Some the injuries will be a long time before they are cleared up unfortunately." Chin medium term and Murphy is long term I heard. ROC and Kevin maybe back this weekend. Shane Reck came on as a sub for ITC in the Fitzgibbon. But you know yourself lads wouldnt want to tell us too much! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11847 - 10/02/2022 16:19:22 2399687 Link

Combination of conditions and defences being on top led to the low scoring. Entertaining game nonetheless . HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 471 - 10/02/2022 16:27:16 2399694 Link

Fair point and yes it was a very entertaining game. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 11/02/2022 09:16:03 2399752 Link
Surprised Devitt didnt feature the last day too as he has been good all year My team for Clare match would be Fanning Donohue Ryan Hanlon D Reck P Foley J O Connor Dee C Flood (if fit) O Foley Rory O Connor K Foley Dwyer Mac Dunbar Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 549 - 11/02/2022 10:23:05 2399765 Link

Maybe put Kevin Foley midfield if fit. Or put Mcguckin in for ROC if hes not 100%. Would rather not rush ROC back if not fully fit. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11847 - 11/02/2022 12:02:28 2399779 Link
