Replying To hunting: "He sure is but I think he going back to Oz but he be some addition if he wasn't. Rathnure threw that one away yesterday. Best of luck in leinster now to the martins" Cannot agree with you there. Most all neutrals I spoke to agreed with myself that the better team won. Rathnure had not faced a team like St.Martins all year and their mistakes at the back plus the few extra wides were because of the pressure they were under. Also St.Martins could / should have had 2 goals in the 1st half when Rathnure had no gaol chance in that 1st half. Paull (Wexford) - Posts: 226 - 27/10/2025 10:16:16 2641802 Link

Replying To Jimbob96: "Take Barry oconnor out of that martins team rathnure would have won that game. Im neither martins or rathnure. Neutral.." He was the main driving force in attack in the last quarter, though I thought Jacko scored an important point under pressure also. Darren Codd wasn't bad either. Rory had an off day, was even poor on the frees. For some bizarre reason, maybe worried about Rathnures goal threat and being against the wind, they played David Codd really deep, too deep, as a sweeper in the 1st half, and he hardly pucked a ball. Waste of 1 of their better hurlers. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 17329 - 27/10/2025 11:24:43 2641816 Link
The best team won alright and I think Wexford hurling is the winner. Rathnure, who are key to historical success have responded incredibly. That 24 months could be huge for Wexford in the near future. What a club, and I'm sure they'll have their Day again. Martin's on the other hand, we probably the second best team in the country last year's. The fact they got such a badly needed test yesterday could be huge for them. I don't know if any of ye heard Rossi speak on the radio yesterday, but I'm excited for the county to get going again now after such a flat 2025.

Actually rathnure played martins in league final and easy win for martins Lockerroomboy (Wexford) - Posts: 510 - 27/10/2025 11:58:23 2641820 Link
St Martins play Na Fianna in two weeks in Wexford Park in the Leinster q-final. Na Fianna were lucky to beat a Lucan Sarsfields team in the final at the weekend. Na Fianna as All Ireland champions will be favourites but if Martins could sneak a win here, they then have another home fixture in Wexford Park for the semi final against either Naas or Mount Leinster Rangers. They will need Rory O'Connor at his absolute best to beat Na Fianna. Past hurler (None) - Posts: 984 - 27/10/2025 12:32:34 2641822 Link

I think it being in the Park might be worth a few points to Martins, but whether that will be enough for them to win I don't know. Na Fianna haven't looked unbeatable this year either apparently. Whoever wins will have a decent chance to win Leinster, although I wouldn't write off any of the teams in it altogether. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 17329 - 27/10/2025 14:49:34 2641847 Link
Replying To Lockerroomboy: "What a ridiculous comment" The martins have some rally good players and great exsperience. But there was times there yesterday that they were vulnerable and there for the taking. Jimbob96 (Wexford) - Posts: 34 - 27/10/2025 16:06:47 2641865 Link
