Delighted to see Keith to get promotion, who's in line to take over the u20s as we need to keep good production line coming through BacksAndForwards (Wexford) - Posts: 34 - 11/09/2023 17:50:59 2503873 Link 0 |

There was a mail sent out to clubs today that said expressions of interest are being sought for position of U20 hurling manager - so I'd take that to mean there's no frontrunner in the pipeline right now. Either the search is only beginning now, or else one or more people were approached but turned it down. Don't know which of those two things would be worse!

It's concerning when they are putting out message like this , surely someone within the system in Wexford coaching staff on underage front could be ideal candidate to take it on. Anyone have memory of what next years group of potential u20s would have been like as underage squads or minor

But then again if they approached reasonable candidates you never know with people's commitment to work or maybe to club teams or taking a break this might be only route for county board to assess other options

On account of covid the championship was shortened. We were unlucky up in Carlow to lose the Leinster minor final to a very good Kilkenny side in 2021. There was no back door so we were out after 1 loss. They had some of these lads like the 2 Dunnes and Shine playing u20 this year. We had u20 starters like Cillian Byrne, Luke Murphy, Simon Roche, Cian O Tuama, Eoin Whelan, Sean Rowley, Dylan Purcell, Darby Purcell and Darragh Kehoe this year from that team. I'd be hoping we should be very competitive next year at the grade.

It'll be tricky enough for new management early doors regarding sorting squad I'd imagine as minor club level could be finished before ratified so might not see many of them but should be ratified before u21 finishes you would imagine . They'll need to be scouting likes of schools , freshers and college hurling. Is there many of current u20 panel this year overage next year BacksAndForwards (Wexford) - Posts: 34 - 12/09/2023 13:47:19 2503981 Link 0 |

Would someone like Willie Cleary be a good shout for under 20 manager?

Really?

Some might think he's worth considering. My own gut feeling is that after this year's experience, he'll be on a break from inter-county roles for the next year or two. Might be himself making that decision, or might be others - I don't claim to speak for any of them!

Just trying to figure out who is in contention. He done a good job with Gorey and has huge passion for Wexford hurling. Is there anyone else you would have in the frame for the job?

Honestly can't think of any outstanding or "obvious" candidate. If Eanna Martin hadn't moved with Rossiter into the senior set-up, I'd have thought he might be worth considering - continuity with the U20s and an obvious link with the seniors. But aside from him, I really don't know. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2561 - 13/09/2023 11:31:35 2504111 Link 0 |

Colin Sutherland or Paul Carley

Colin Sunderland would be good to have for the Wexford u20s,Paul Carley would also be a good choice along with Willie Cleary,someone like Des Mythen maybe or Doc O'Connor also have heard Richie kehoe has a very good future ahead of him in management/coaching very good with county minors and his own clubs u 17/19/20/21s the past number of years!!!Richie Flynn, Stephen Doyle probably lots more will come to me,but it's crucial we get it right!!! It's not a bad u21 squad we should be getting a handful out of them for senior and should be very competitive next year theboys (Wexford) - Posts: 235 - 13/09/2023 13:23:30 2504141 Link 0 |

Des Mythen , DOC or Skippy Ruth would be good options too

Des Mythen would be a great choice, presume he will stay with Oylegate for another year and build up his experience

Agree Dessie would be great choice - he was already lined up to go in with Darragh Egan as a coach/selector until the county board did a u turn.

One of the Oylegate players said he was incredibly thorough in scouting and matchups and knew plenty about all the opposing players they faced. That would definitely stand to him if he was to get the job.

In fairness, I wouldn't say they did a U-turn. Egan was given until a certain date to put a new backroom team together. He then asked for and was given a two-week extension to do so, and ended up having to report back on the new date that while he had some people on board, he hadn't got everyone he wanted. So, the search began then for a new manager instead. Mythen might be a good shout for U20s if he's interested in the job, but can't help wondering - how likely is Michael Jacob to stay with the U17s? Might there be a certain view in certain quarters if we ended up with three Oulart-The Ballagh men over the three county teams?

Des Mythen would be a great shout as manager. Could still stay with Oylegate if he wanted as under 20 will probably end in May again next year
