Tbh, if Barry goes with the footballers, he'd definitely start and there's a good chance he'd be one of the best footballers on the team (If not the best footballer) If he goes with the hurlers, he might start and if he did start, I don't think he'd be one of the best hurlers on the team Footballers will be in D2 which is as high as they've been in a while, hurlers in 1B so might be a tougher decision than say when the hurlers were in 1A and the footballers were in 1B At the same time, hurling is bigger than football in this county and you will probably get lads who might be better off playing football choosing to play hurling instead, happens in other counties too, Brian Hayes for Cork is supposed to be an even better footballer than hurler but hurling is bigger than football down in Cork so that's why he hurls for Cork I think Barry has already played senior football for Wexford, obviously George played both codes for Wexford and Barry might just want to give one year with the hurlers to tick off that box and to see where it takes him, might be a better footballer but might regret not doing a year of hurling with Wexford Hard to know, it's ultimately his decision and he should do whatever he feels most comfortable doing, it's not up to us to say what the best decision is for him, only he knows that ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 1558 - 22/09/2026 20:27:35 2694702 Link
Replying To WexMurph: "He would no doubt start for the hurlers such is the level they are at at present and his athleticism alone would make him more effective than some on the team last year, hope he gives the football a rattle though to see him compete against the top teams" His physicality and athletism are what we need in hurling as ball winners . U could work around his lack of touch for the most part by having him as a workhorse/ ball winner.and have good hurlers feeding off him . I can only imagine his presence alohe and professionalism would be a huge bonus for either squad . And help bring the standard / effort up.. I d imagine both managers would love to have him in for his influence alone, the martins are def a better team and look.lot more professinal in all aspects since his return . Over last 2 years . He seems to bring a hugely positive influence all round . Good luck to him in whichever vide if sny he decides to pursue . Choosing football could have potentially a negative influence on the hutling though I d fear . Formertownie (Wexford) - Posts: 718 - 22/09/2026 22:07:20 2694713 Link

Never worked out. Not saying that it couldn't but club hurling and intercounty are completely different beasts. The best example of that is Ballygunner v Waterford. One thing is sure that if he decides to go the Football path, there will be people on the Hurling chat bemoaning that things could be so different for Wexford if he had chosen Hurling - a bit like the Foleys saga. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 2242 - 25/09/2026 07:17:35 2694960 Link

Yes but the fairytale dream seems to be a wexford hurler . It's just a fact was bt Matty even tempted at one stage our only all star footballer . Whatever way u look at it the high majority will if they had a choice opt to go try the hurling at least. I think the gap has narrowed football is lot more attractive niw they are in div 2 with possibility of making the all Ireland series . A lot to play for on an upward curve .

Glen Malone and Daithi Waters both played Senior hurling. Both are far better Footballers. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 20764 - 25/09/2026 09:56:36 2694963 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Glen Malone and Daithi Waters both played Senior hurling. Both are far better Footballers." Not one post about this weekends games. Pretty much says everything about the level of interest. Senior Castletown v St. Martins. Great to see the Martins there, brings something new to the semis. Castletown are seasoned campaigners at this stage. They will have a plan to stop Barry O'Connors long range shooting, which should see them again into another final. Should win this by 10. Shelmaliers v Kilanerin. Really looking forward to this game. Shels quietly going about there business this year while Kilanerin will be finally looking to get back into the final. Looking at earlier results you'd be disappointed with Kilanerins earlier game against Castletown and I think the Shels will have just too much for them. Cloughbawn v Starlights. Cloughbawn working on two fronts while Starlights of course will just be concentrating on the football. As Cloughbawn are still in the hurling, I'd fancy Starlights here. Horeswood v St. Annes Two really good teams, I think it will be hard to call. Going to go with the Annes Intermediate A Duffry v Oylegate Bit of a novelty seeing Oylegate here but Duffry have a good young team. Think they will win. Only just St. Mary's Rosslare v St. Patrick's. Think Rosslare will win this. Junior Blackwater v Kilanerin Blackwater to win Castletown v Davidstown Castletown to win alwaysasub (Wexford) - Posts: 622 - 02/10/2026 11:46:02 2695908 Link
