Replying To Cockney_Cat: "No disrespect to Antrim, but Wexford are not a 'big' scalp." It does change the round robin though. Wexford now in serious danger again of relegation. Carlow a fair bit better team than Antrim in my humble opinion and if Wexford lose that, its curtains unless Cats throw the subs on the last day again. Also gives Antrim a shout at the third spot if they beat Dublin. Thankfully for ourselves that's in the Park rather than Belfast and be confident we will beat them there, Can't recall last time they did us in Parnell - be 20 years maybe or more - and MD will have our boys focused on that as the key game now, Not slagging off Wexford by the way, We were blessed to get a draw last Sunday so there but for the Grace of God, etc, etc ...

Replying To Cockney_Cat: "No disrespect to Antrim, but Wexford are not a 'big' scalp." They are to Antrim, we had never beaten them in Championship before. Could have beaten them last year and definitely should have in 2003. M Lyster (Antrim) - Posts: 465 - 27/04/2024 21:20:45 2541041 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "No disrespect to Antrim, but Wexford are not a 'big' scalp." They beat your lot last year. Bon (Kildare) - Posts: 2085 - 27/04/2024 21:45:45 2541047 Link

Replying To Cockney_Cat: "No disrespect to Antrim, but Wexford are not a 'big' scalp." Maybe even you might beat us this year...... Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13884 - 27/04/2024 21:50:32 2541049 Link
Replying To Bon: "They beat your lot last year." And the year before at their place. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13884 - 27/04/2024 21:51:06 2541050 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "No disrespect to Antrim, but Wexford are not a 'big' scalp." What a surprise a Cat saying that, your lot have beaten Wexford once last 7 years, Wexford been in top flight hurling since 1926, Division 1 League team over a decade and Leinster Champions in 2019, before today, Antrim had never beaten Wexford in the championship, they did beat Kilkenny in 43. Antrim deserved the win and Wexford are struggling and all Wexford supporters know that, but we have a proud history and all of it top flight hurling.

I suppose they need something to cheer about, the past couple of years they have watched while their neighbours across the Bann erect flags and bunting. PattyONeill (Derry) - Posts: 246 - 27/04/2024 22:01:40 2541056 Link

Replying To Bon: "They beat your lot last year." When and where? Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2654 - 27/04/2024 22:20:13 2541065 Link
Replying To skillet: "You'd turn a wedding into a funeral pal.. Of course they're a big scalp.. Great result for Antrim and well done to them." Westmeath beat Wexford in Leinster last year. Wexford were a few minutes away from relegation and the Joe McDonagh, in their final game against Kilkenny last year. Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2654 - 27/04/2024 22:36:03 2541070 Link

Replying To Ulsterman: "Don't feed the troll. Anything North of Dundalk he/she constants castigates." Troll? A bit rich coming from you. When have I castigated anything 'North of Dundalk'? Cockney_Cat (UK) - Posts: 2654 - 27/04/2024 23:02:11 2541078 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "When and where?" What's that called CC? Barney will know the correct term. You know, when the mind blanks out stuff that it doesn't want to remember? Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13884 - 27/04/2024 23:02:28 2541079 Link
Replying To M Lyster: "They are to Antrim, we had never beaten them in Championship before. Could have beaten them last year and definitely should have in 2003." Congratulations. It's a huge win for Antrim. Some great quality scores too. Enjoy it. I'm absolutely devastated and feel like I'm in mourning today but the game was there to be won and it was a huge effort from your lads.

Replying To M Lyster: "They are to Antrim, we had never beaten them in Championship before. Could have beaten them last year and definitely should have in 2003." Was in the John's clubhouse after the game for a short while. It was really emphasised to me how massive yesterday was for Antrim hurling. Several different lads said it straight out.
