Replying To countyman2022: "3 Northie teams and Cavan and Monaghan then." Three Northern with a capital N. Five northern with a small n. Or you could even say seven northern with a small n, since we have to head north to get to any of them. Even Dublin. :) Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 4122 - 08/10/2026 12:15:26 2696592 Link

Replying To Waltermitty2: "Is that the first time the football champions have been eliminated by the hurling champions in a football match in wexford?" Don't know off the top of my head, only times it could have happened in recent memory would've been: 2022 - Starlights vs Shels (Castletown beat Shels that year, right?) 2021 - Shels vs Rapps (Definitely didn't happen, Rapps won Senior hurling) 2020 - Martin's vs Castletown (Didn't happen although think Castletown only beat them by a point or two in the QF or SF, Castletown lost the final to Starlights) 2018 - Martin's vs Starlights 2015 - Shels vs Anne's 2009 - Martin's vs Kilanerin ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 1569 - 08/10/2026 20:47:22 2696647 Link
Replying To Waltermitty2: "Is that the first time the football champions have been eliminated by the hurling champions in a football match in wexford?" That's a great question. Don't know if anyone will really be able to answer for sure, when you consider how sketchy results get the further you go back. But here's a real quirk. A long-deceased uncle of mine once told me that he played on a team that did it the other way around - i.e. they were reigning senior football champions when they beat the reigning senior hurling champions the following year. It was Enniscorthy St. Aidans, who won Senior Football in 1950 and 1951. And then in the hurling in 1952, they beat Cloughbawn (who'd won Senior Hurling in '51) while on their way to winning Senior Hurling that year themselves. He reckoned that was unique, and I've still no reason to doubt him. Still the opposite way round to what you're actually asking, though!

Probably more common than I first thought! Waltermitty2 (Wexford) - Posts: 314 - 09/10/2026 09:54:31 2696668 Link
Replying To JT22: "I seen a lot of games over the weekend. In senior, I thought the Martins were excellent in the second half. The goal chance for Castletown right before HT was a big miss but other than this they were dominant. They really backed up the Gusserane performance and will be very hard bet. I thought the Shels were pretty poor, Kilanerin gave Eoghan Nolan way too much space in the first half and he kicked a couple of brilliant 2 pointers. Bunclody will be kicking themselves to not win in normal time, they had an excellent chance just as time was up. Intermediate, its certainly not a final anyone would of predicted at the start of the year and is one I am looking forward to. Cloughbawn have been getting a lot of goals all year and have some excellent forwards. What a disappointing year for both Starlights and St Annes in both codes, they would of both expected to get to the final in football. A super win for clongeen, who by all account's dominated Ballyhogue. After getting to the final last year and had 3 points after 2 games, what went wrong for Ballyhogue? A double relegation for them, a disaster of a year." Will Martins fly Rory O'Connor back for the hurling and football? They were on the verge of doing what Loughmore Castleliney have done in Tipperary, winning both hurling & football championships in one year and whilst I think they will win the football final I don't think they will beat Rathnure without Rory.
