Agree too that staying in Div. 3 has to be the main aim for the year. It took long enough to get out of Div. 4, so would be a shame to go straight back to it. We have Laois, Fermanagh, Limerick, Clare, Sligo, Down, and Westmeath. Nothing easy there. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 3312 - 28/11/2025 12:27:54 2646321 Link

Replying To Stmunnsriver: "michael furlong has retired to, a great servant, thank u son for all u gave and best of luck with adamstown over the next few years" Heard that last week. Fair play to him, no doubt has a few more years to try get Adamstown back up. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 17920 - 14/12/2025 18:37:36 2648341 Link

Good team named for the Kildare Byrne Cup game tomorrow Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 17920 - 02/01/2026 19:54:47 2649437 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Good team named for the Kildare Byrne Cup game tomorrow" Very little experimentation but that was expected given the have to hit the ground running for the league. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 2143 - 03/01/2026 14:26:57 2649512 Link
Replying To zinny: "Very little experimentation but that was expected given the have to hit the ground running for the league." So when do you experiment ? What signal does that send out to guys who want to play for Wexford but are not currently established. Even bringing on subs who have years of experience. Why??

Replying To Paull: "So when do you experiment ? What signal does that send out to guys who want to play for Wexford but are not currently established. Even bringing on subs who have years of experience. Why??" We were 2nd best. Too slow transitioning after turnovers, didnt move the ball fast enough. Didn't score from play for the entire 1st half. Didn't even create many chances. They were better at tackling, pressing, getting bodies around the ball carrier, moved the ball quicker in possession, transitioned faster. Their second goal came from a lad who soloed from very deep without being held up at all. Plenty to work on. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 17920 - 03/01/2026 15:35:50 2649528 Link
I expected a better performance from the lads today. Last score I could get was 2- 12 Kildare 0 -06 to wexford. Dreadful scoreline for us to get 0 - 06 in 60+ minutes. I'm pretty certain that Kildare had a lot of newcomers out there this afternoon and it looks like they walked all over us. Blasting a penalty over the bar didn't help but if scored it would just make the score board look better. Early days yet and big games to come in division 3. Hope I'm wrong but based on the league final and early championship exit last year I am fer from optimistic going forward'. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 578 - 03/01/2026 15:41:39 2649531 Link

We had a couple other good goal scoring chances in the 2nd half, which was pretty even overall. We were missing/resting some of our best players, Glen Malone, Sean Nolan, Tom Byrne, Shane Pettit, Martin Furlong, Darragh Brooks, while others only played the second half, Niall Hughes and Eoin Porter. Theres other starters from last year who didnt feature as well. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 17920 - 03/01/2026 16:34:06 2649542 Link
im the sort of lad when it comes to wexford football my glass is always half full, i can always see plusses but that was a disaster, hard to see the bright side of that, we had a couple of lads playing who could not make the first 15 in div 4!!!! and we are back to this endless passing the ball ACROSS the pitch , over and back and over again across their 70, granted we have a lot of big names to come in, so we can live in hope Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 3031 - 03/01/2026 16:37:25 2649544 Link

Maybe if we play half the amount of debutants next week that could be considered a positive. Paull (Wexford) - Posts: 238 - 03/01/2026 19:38:53 2649588 Link

Hope it improves with a few players to come back that will try and penetrate defences and get us a few scores. WexMurph (Wexford) - Posts: 332 - 03/01/2026 19:43:11 2649591 Link
2/3 new lads getting a run again tomorrow night, great to see in one way but is a bit close to the start of league to be trying new lads, surely he wont give a young lad from non senior team his league debut v a seasoned team up in ulster, n Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 3031 - 06/01/2026 23:10:53 2650113 Link

Carlow have a pretty strong team named, so should be a good test. We need a few new players to step up, and the team named is giving that opportunity to some of these lads. Its up to them to shine, and try keep the jersey going forwards. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 17920 - 07/01/2026 11:00:08 2650142 Link
