Replying To WEXILE: "Lads does that mean we are in the all ireland series now or do we have to wait and see how provincials play out?" No because Kildare lost. We will need to qualify through Leinster I think Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 18816 - 22/03/2026 18:39:26 2662305 Link
Replying To beano: "The most joyous day as a Wexford fan since 2019 Leinster final. What a way to win it too. Credit to the lads, I was worried when Westmeath scored that rasper goal, but they pretty much dominated thereafter. Cut out the defensive errors, and although a lot of our key forwards weren't firing on all cylinders, we collectively as a unit were excellent. Well done lads, absolutely amazing achievement from where we were rooted in Division Four for too long." Was thinking the same as your first line there, been going to games 20 odd years now in both codes and that's probably cracks the top 10 days for me. Leinster final 2019, 2004 and LSF, beating Armagh, Down and the game in Carlow vs Meath in 08, Clare 2014, LSF 2017, beating Kilkenny in Nowlan Park that year too and today. Delighted for players who've been in that panel 5+ years, they've seen some pretty bleak days. OpenStandWall (Wexford) - Posts: 344 - 22/03/2026 18:59:40 2662316 Link
Replying To WEXILE: "Lads does that mean we are in the all ireland series now or do we have to wait and see how provincials play out?" Unfortuantely not. As kildare are tailteann cup champions they remaind a top 16 side despite relegation today. I am 99% sure the final on saturday decides the actual ranking between down and wexford. If we win the final we get promoted as "champions" which puts us above Down in the rankings. Which would mean then we play sam maguire this year.( depending on provincial final pairings ) Wexican55 (Wexford) - Posts: 13 - 22/03/2026 19:07:15 2662321 Link
Replying To Dodgy_Pass: "Congratulations to all Wexford football supporters on a wonderful promotion, always well received when we have been down in Wexford Park in recent years. Back to back promotions, great chance in Croker next weekend. Mightve happened sooner but for a controversial Leitrim goal in Carrick two years ago. Great example for any county toiling in Div 4 of what can be achieved. Enjoy next weekend and best of luck in Leinster."

Replying To mickcunningham: "Well done on your sensational win . At the end the team with the most will to win did win" Hard luck lad. Whittaker played the best game of Football Ive seen from a player in a long time. Great 2 footed player with a good head on his shoulders. Not sure what your 23 was thinking when he took on that shot. All he had to do was pass it to another lad in green. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 18816 - 22/03/2026 19:18:05 2662325 Link
Rewound the last minute of the game around 10 times on tg4 there now! Still can't believe it! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 18816 - 22/03/2026 19:19:22 2662327 Link
Replying To Stmunnsriver: "im not ashamed to say it, tears came to my eyes when it was over, am still shaking" I am absolutely delighted for you. Doylerwex (Wexford) - Posts: 4333 - 22/03/2026 19:49:17 2662337 Link

But we contained the rest of them quite well, including Luke Loughlin who would be a top bracket scorer. Didn't like them jeering Brooks when he missed a placed-ball in the first half (and having four lads standing in front of him trying to put him off) so was delighted he nailed the two crucial two-pointers at the death. As good a GK as there is around imo. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1525 - 22/03/2026 19:58:39 2662340 Link
The auld ticker has just about recovered from that !! Incredible finish, fantastic heart and guts from the lads to dig it out when all seemed lost. I know westmeath will be gutted, they seemed to be in control and should have ran down the clock in that last attack. Thankfully they didn't and the lads capitalised. As a (mainly) football supporter, I haven't experienced a post-match atmosphere like it since Carlow in '08 Well done players, management and everyone involved.

Well done lads admittedly I didn't see us staying in division 3 never mind getting promoted but they have worked hard to tighten up the defence and attacking wise they seem to have improved with constant runners in behind throwing defences. Westmeath were probably the better team but the lads never gave in great for Wexford football to be playing top teams good for gate receipts too, probably more than 1B hurling. No Doubt it will be tough in Division 2 but great for the profile of football coming up against the likes of Tyrone and Dublin. WexMurph (Wexford) - Posts: 342 - 22/03/2026 20:42:03 2662356 Link
