He has a great physical frame and has a great work ethic but I think he falls below the level of senior intercounty starter They're losses alright and the fact that they're two of Ferns's younger hurlers would be even more of a loss as they would both offer pace, especially Diarmuid Doyle. Mind you, out of the Ferns's starting team, only really Tommy Dwyer and Johnny Dwyer could be considered members of the old guard ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 342 - 07/07/2024 10:24:37 2557341 Link 0 |
Yeah, results this week make me think Senior is less competitive than I thought it was going to be, we've had a good number of teams with realistic prospects of winning Senior in the last few years, looks like this year we're going to have fewer capable of winning so maybe we see a top team emerge? Some of our champions in the last few years have been weak enough in Leinster, we need someone to break out of the pack ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 342 - 07/07/2024 10:26:59 2557343 Link 0 |
Only match I could get to this weekend!!! Thought the harriers were full value for there lead at half time!!! On the flip side I thought the harriers half back line was under pressure on puck outs with shels catching great ball and producing two great goals from it!!! It was a game of two half's really,the harriers went missing really in the second half,gave alot of frees away,there top players chin Lawlor Luke Murphy Clancy went missing to be honest!!! Shels just worked away and got over the line!!! Bit of a fortunate goal with harriers goalman doyle let one through his hand into the net!!! Shels were just hard working,struggled to get scores from play which they will need to improve on!!! Harriers will have to tighten up at the back big time!!! I feel the loss of Richie kehoe in the harriers defence is huge,I don't think he would have let runners down the middle walk in,think a lad mentioned he's got a tore hamstring!!! If harriers can play as they did in the first half they would take stopping and stop the goals they would be a handfull for anyone!!! Best for harriers was bridges in midfield,Farrel up front chin in first half!!! Hearne was outstanding for shels along with Doyle corner back Connors up front and Keane carrol caused problems!!! If shels can get a spread of scorers they would cause problems!!! theboys (Wexford) - Posts: 235 - 07/07/2024 11:15:35 2557357 Link 0 |
Maybe you're right regarding Murphy which is a pity because Wexford are sorely lacking big physical men.

Results went alone expected lines. Margin of wins somewhat concerning in some games. The winners of first round games will all be in quarter final action later in the year. We will see a gap between top 4 and bottom 2 in each group by the end. Still think harriers will be in the shake up too. Yellowhelmet (Australia) - Posts: 115 - 08/07/2024 13:15:31 2557688 Link 0 |
Anyone know why Wexford GAA only streamed on game over the weekend?? Usually there would be 5 or 6? Also they would do clips etc alwaysasub (Wexford) - Posts: 426 - 08/07/2024 13:25:34 2557689 Link 0 |
1 of the bottom 2 in each group will definitely be in the QFs this year.

He's big and physical when he wants to be OK. Seems to depend on his form on the day. Wouldn't say he's fast though. I'd have Bailey in sooner tbh.

Or possibly the bottom 2 out of the same group.

The consensus in our club tonight was at very least the team finishing bottom of the groups have no place being still in the championship, regardless of the format after that. ExiledInWex (Dublin) - Posts: 1252 - 08/07/2024 21:00:37 2557850 Link 0 |
Would you be better coming 5th in ur group and playing 6th in opposite group in preliminary 1/4 final knowing you most likely be playing the team with least form in opposite group . Deoending on if you felt your group would be stronger than the other . Taking the chance of relegation play off if you lost Formertownie (Wexford) - Posts: 282 - 08/07/2024 21:44:25 2557864 Link 0 |
That change would have to come from Croke Park. But I agree also, club games should be 70 minutes. Adult is adult.

It's a double edged sword. 70 v 60. With intercounty did going to 70 contribute to the level of training and preparation a player has to do? It's an extra 10mins, which does seem like much but when you say it's an extra ~17%you have to get out of your body for a game then it begins to look different. Younger players may adapt to it but would it push lads who are getting older to give up earlier. It's certainly not needed for the lower grades than senior and they you create a difference within the club competitions. So for me there is a reason why club and county are different, they are not the same game and what may be ok for the 2% may not work so well for the rest.
