Look to be honest it was the case in Wexford for a long long time, thats just a fact, i personally know players who were told that in no uncertain terms, in fact one of them upon telling a "legend" of wexford hurling whilst at u14 County trials where he was from was told not to be wasting their time. But just to clarify thats many many moons ago and most definietly isnt the case anymore, i would say that prehistoric thinking started to be eroded some 20 years ago or so. Hurling 365 was a huge help in that approach along with the development squad approach and to be fair to Liam Dunne he trawled the county when he took over and looked at all levels, he brought it on a huge amount. Id be surprised if it was the case any more to be honest tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1435 - 16/08/2022 15:35:35 2437684 Link 1 |
Well I will remind you it is not part of the Kilkenny psyche then and there are hundreds of All-Ireland medals in junior clubs in Kilkenny. They are very successful. Does that make you feel better? ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1267 - 16/08/2022 16:22:02 2437692 Link 0 |
That was the very point I was trying to make. There is no denying a young chap in Oulart or Rathnure or wherever will get higher coaching than a chap in many other clubs. But development squads do bridge that gap and for anybody to claim a player was told he must transfer to a senior club to play for Wexford, I am not buying that.

Picking only lads from soley from senior teams like Orlart, Rathnure etc during the late 00s and early 10s certainly did not help and some of the worst days out for the senior hurlers came during these days. Liam Dunne changed this when he came in (ironically a lad from one of the big clubs) and infairness looked all over the county for lads. Helped get wexford out of an awful position, looked like we could've gone the offaly route there for a while. No offense to th lads who were playing but too much was read in to them winning senior county titles..especially when it wasn't exactly like they were hovering up club Leinster/all Ireland titles. Wexfords selection process has definitely improved for the better.

Not only should Conor Firman be on the team, I'd be surprised if he isn't in the running for player of the year. And Corey Dunbar outperformed, by a considerable margin, both of the Rapps lads you listed in the forwards. Onfor15 (Wexford) - Posts: 533 - 19/08/2022 10:23:13 2437986 Link 0 |
Has to be said while I think Pepper is one of our better young prospects at intercounty I didn't think he was brilliant against Ferns in the semi this year. Unless he was lights out in the rest of the championship was he?

Pepper was average at best for most of the championship, couldnt understand him being brought into the county set up, maybe in 2 years or so hopefully he will be but not at the moment.

That's great news. I was worried we'd be in real trouble if we lost that group for the year ahead.

No he wasn't. In fact his brother was better off the bench vs. Ferns than Oisin was over the course of every other game. It still astounds me that he got a run that day vs. Dublin. I see in the hurling podcast, Bernie was basically knocking the football again. Claiming it will effect Ferns' Leinster campaign, even though there is roughly a months gap between the end of one (should they get that far) and the start of the other. We also had Egan on it positive about football, yet he is calling in lads to do S and C already when they should be focusing on their clubs. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1460 - 20/08/2022 11:15:03 2438092 Link 0 |
A lot of football people don't realize this, but in terms of the overall benefits to Wexford football, the current format is by far and away the best possible Onfor15 (Wexford) - Posts: 533 - 20/08/2022 13:04:03 2438105 Link 0 |
Ah no Beano 3 1 or 2 hour sessions in the gym isn't going to impact a player unless they are doing a heavy gym session the day before, or the morning of, the game .

Or of a Sunday morning, when every club trains.
