Yeah - Oylegate, Cloughbawn, and Craanford all gave walkovers. Can imagine that for different reasons, lads in those places were thinking more about beer than football for the past few days. The other three were Bunclody, Kilrush, and St. Mary's Maudlintown. Means Sarsfields were the only one of the Wexford town clubs to even field a team in U21 football. Makes me think of something I said before, about how if you were to start from scratch in designing a system for GAA clubs in Wexford town, you wouldn't come up with how things operate there today. To the other poster - U19 not really an option any more, now that minor is gone back to U18. And clubs voted for U21 rather than U20. Might even have been more walkovers if it was U20, as there'd have been a year's less worth of players to pick from. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2648 - 24/08/2023 10:30:56 2502027 Link 0 |

3 out of 6 walkovers given were teams in county finals ( Oylegate, Cloughbawn and Craanford) , Duffry received a walkover,looks like Clongeen aren't entered in the grade, Gorey, Jimmies, Cushinstown, St Patricks and Ballyhogue all played last night.

Why would you hope that? What's it to do with you? I can't say I ever hoped any club would get relegated, although it's inevitable someone will be.

Clongeen, as Mogueen Gaels with Fethard, beat Ballygarrett in div 3.

Think you're looking at U12 results rather than U21 results there! Neither Clongeen, Fethard, nor Moguegeen Gaels entered U21, and there's no Div. 3 in U21 either. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 2648 - 24/08/2023 12:57:07 2502059 Link 0 |

Ah ok I find navigating the site very hard! Not sure why Clongeen didn't enter u21 then.

Bad that a Senior and Intermediate team couldn't enter a team at u21, even a combined team.

Open to correction but think Fethard won u17 premier football 2 years ago by themselves so makes that all the more disappointing.

Would imagine from their perspective huge crossover with seniors pivotal to their progress can't take chances on losing some of their best players . Won u17 premier 2 years ago with a panel of prob 20 players max an unreal achievement in itself Think its too much for them to play 7 weeks in row hurling a week off then ask to play 4 times in 2 weeks in senior and u21 abd then 3 more plus knock out over next month. A sensible decision if they have ambitions and with the loss of some of their players to travelling injuries etc . Formertownie (Wexford) - Posts: 315 - 24/08/2023 18:26:14 2502131 Link 0 |

Some people just don't get the numbers issues in some clubs nowadays. Your second team is a better gauge of what you have coming and it's very clear Fethard and Clongeen have little in that regard, even combined. Fethard have approx 200 in one primary school and Clongeen have approx 75 in one primary school. Most clubs in new Ross district have approx 300 in their primary schools, so in Clongeen and Fethards case if they are fielding a senior and intermediate on those numbers then they are punching way above their weight. They may have just about numbers to field an u21 team but the crossover with senior/intermediate wud be massive, so why would they flog their players putting in an u21 side

Numbers I d imagine they seem to need to almalgate most years underage . Not sure you can have almalgsmed teams u21 tbh as most eligible to play adult with their own teams so are technically playing or have opportunity to play with u21 it being adult grade . Although touted us underage . Grey area as u18s can play adult ie. u21 but not adult as such . . Be interesting if someone challenged it by playing u18s at adult grades .

Bunclody gave a walkover as well so two senior teams. Of the lesser teams I wonder how many would have given walkovers regardless of when it was played.

Went into the Sars v Anne's. Was a scrappy enough game as you'd kind of expect for the 1st game out. Anne's looked fitter and stronger, while Sars definitely looked the younger team. After a poor opening quarter from both teams Sars woke up and kicked some nice points, although they were definitely lucky with their first goal as the keeper appeared to lose the ball in the low sun in his eyes. Anne's started stronger in the 2nd half and moved the ball well out around the middle, and fashioned a lead early in the 2nd half. Then for a period the Sars played faster, with long diagonal balls into the corners, and reaped the rewards with an excellent goal from young Conor Kehoe, whose pace and direct running was starting to cause problems for the Anne's defence. They also won 4 frees which they missed all of, which was the losing of the game. Anne's were much more clinical overall and deserved their win, but there were encouraging signs for Sars, especially when they played more direct and their forwards made more runs out wide to spread the Anne's defence.
