Replying To Tiger1: "Ah stop our u20 team was so poor no one in leinster within 7 pts of kilkenny .Fed up of some of the comments here about the state of hurling in the county madness." You're talking about the wrong U20 team though, I was referring to the 2022 team, not the 2025 team ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 556 - 25/05/2025 20:18:18 2612517 Link

Nice to finish like that even if it was like a practice game. If it gives the likes of CBD or Dwyer some confidence for next year well then its something. Thanks to the players for there commitment to the jersey. Given up huge time out of there lives to give us something to give out about. Onto the club championship now.

The doom and gloom and abuse under match reports etc... is disgraceful in my opinion. I never seen a county so obsessed with calling for retirement. It has been a poor year and it's very disheartening to be gone from the championship before the end of May, but the abuse is way out of line. I couldn't care less about kk or if it was there 4th team, anytime you win against them it is a good win. hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1148 - 25/05/2025 21:25:28 2612539 Link

Even delayed the throw in one year, so that they'd be under no illusion about the required result. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4164 - 25/05/2025 21:53:31 2612543 Link
Replying To Purpleandgold72: "But let's be realistic about CBD. Today was a training spin in a nothing match against a KK side who didn't care. Unless he bulks up significantly, he'll continue to struggle in the future in big games when it matters. He def has ability but lacks bigtime in the physical stakes." Agreed, lads playing for us at every level need to realise you have the earn the right to play at this level. Workrate and being able to mix it physically are the basics. CBD is a good player to be fair when he gets his hand on the ball, plays with his head up. Hard winter in gym required. Timbertony (Wexford) - Posts: 422 - 25/05/2025 21:56:50 2612544 Link
Where are all those who were calling for Donohue and Fanning to be dropped? gone very quiet! Fanning best goalkeeper in Wexford by a country mile and donohue put Tj in his pocket today. WexfordWarrior (Wexford) - Posts: 3 - 25/05/2025 22:13:46 2612552 Link

Disappointment is the mood here as the bus makes its way down the n11....I doubt I will be back up it for another match. I am with you hunting, people in Wexford need t o stop pointing fingers and start saying "what can I do". Parents complain yet never get out in the garden and play the game with their children. Have you done a coaching course and taken over the nursery team? Can you help out by washing the jerseys, putting out the drill cones, and so on. Some parents are great and some are lazy sloths who want to do nothing. Nothing is worse than people giving underage teams abuse over results. They would then ask why players quit. The success of county teams are based on everybody working their arses off, not just people saying its up to others to do it. Everybody has a part to play and improve the standard. But it has been disaster year for Wexford and for me you have to look at everything. Combined colleges, 4G pitches, players playing adult level, etc. Stop saying why it won't work and say how it will work. Try everything, improve it, ditch it after its had a fair trial. Living in Wexford I really want the county to be a success. But I feel people are OK with being average, sure everybody loves Wexford, Dancing at the crossroads, 1996....

What exactly did he do that impressed you today? Niall Murphy and Eoin Ryan made two brilliant saves alright. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3669 - 25/05/2025 23:00:47 2612563 Link

The result would have no impact for either team. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3669 - 25/05/2025 23:02:20 2612564 Link
Replying To Viking66: "So we don't make the AI series on head to head with Dublin. Trying hard not to dwell on the goal that wasn't in Parnell Park." It's all I can think about this evening. Some minor tactical changes and it was there for us. The absolute no show against Galway is unforgivable though. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3669 - 25/05/2025 23:09:53 2612565 Link

Competed in league and all ireland finals. When we all seen that team for the weekend there was Only going to be one winner. Clare also gave a big performance with nothing to play for. Did anyone else hear rumors on retirements? Slowandshortsighted (UK) - Posts: 70 - 26/05/2025 05:16:42 2612583 Link
Replying To WexfordWarrior: "Where are all those who were calling for Donohue and Fanning to be dropped? gone very quiet! Fanning best goalkeeper in Wexford by a country mile and donohue put Tj in his pocket today." Donohue yes in the backs not midfield where he played earlier in the championship. If he was put back on hedgo maybe things could be different. The goal was a crazy decision but management were way to slow to make changes on the line. Yesterdays team was better than some of teams picked for championship. Performance against galway and offally were very poor. As soon as we seen the 2 teams and lawlor,butler,mossy not even coming on. They didnt bring down deegan or billy ryan who is probably their best foward now.its hard for a nearly complete new team. They could of had 2 more goals and they let chin off to play his game. The gallery was had among supporters i was with but its only when the leinster final and quarter finals are on and players at home twiddling their thumbs. It was still a game that had to be won but it was very weird. Talking to a former wexford great outside yesterday and he said there could be 3 or 4 retirements.it will be a big climb to get up the ladder and whoever is in charge will have to start again.the manager should be given a few years like what galway done. Who is the best manger thats not a outsider.Theres no secret the better players havent long left.it has to start and minor and u20. That 2019 team was backboned by very good underage teams. Teams have really upped underage. Kk went back to the start and are seeing results already. It helps when u have the hurlers of course Davie fitz has his critics but he had the lads absolutely flying. Granted liam dunne done alot of the heavy lifting and it was a much better team. Remember jippo and donohoe bursting up the wings and pointing. Poor jippo can barely walk now without getting injured. It was probably short term gain for longer pain but there was some days and support and colour out. Some lads have picked up injury after injury and we all expected rory o connor to be much better than he is. Slowandshortsighted (UK) - Posts: 70 - 26/05/2025 08:52:03 2612597 Link

It's sort of a forbidden subject in the club but I think chinner is done. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3669 - 26/05/2025 08:56:59 2612599 Link
Replying To Newyorkkat: "T J in his pocket. ?????? Ok" He did get the better of TJ but to be fair it was a nothing game that TJ shouldn't have been playing in. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 3669 - 26/05/2025 08:58:10 2612600 Link
