Great achievement and well deserved. He had his best season for us in a good few years this year, and fair play to him for going again next year.

Just to be absolutely clear I mean a poor season for Wexford

So.... who would you ask to join the panel if you had the choice? Mind you, some of these I would ask but I think they would almost certainly reject

Anyway, I'd be asking....

Mark Fanning - Is he sticking around?
James Lawlor - Off to Australia, I believe
Aaron Duggan - Would he come back?
Andrew Kennedy
Cian Molloy
Simon Donohoe
Eoin Ryan
Joe Barrett - No interest?
Liam Ryan - Is he sticking around? Couldn't blame him if he were to retire
AJ Redmond - Would he play?
Charlie Mooney
Darragh Carley
Damien Reck
Shane Reck
Conor Foley
Paudie Foley - Highly doubt he has any interest
Pádraig Jones - Bit young but thought he was one of our better U20s this year (Not that that's saying much)
Ciarán Doyle - Still U20 next year but might help to have him in the extended panel
Eoin Whelan - Long-term injury doesn't bode well?
Michael Dundon
Niall Murphy
David Clarke
Conor Hearne
Éamon Wickham
Richie Lawlor
Kevin Foley
Cathal Dunbar
David Codd
Corey Byrne-Dunbar
Simon Roche
Seán Rowley
Mike Kelly
Rory O'Connor - Will he be back?
Jack O'Connor
Barry O'Connor - Off to Australia anyway, bit of a pity as he would offer us huge athleticism and direct running in the half-forward line
Charlie Roark - Has another year U20 and needs a lot of work on his hurling and speed but I think there's something there to work with, can't hurt to have him on the extended panel
James Byrne
Tomás Kinsella
Cillian Byrne
Cian Byrne
Conor McDonald
Lee Chin
Oisín Foley - Highly doubt he comes back
Oisín Pepper
Conor Mahoney
Seán Nolan - Bit of an outside shot this one, might prefer to play football but would be interesting at corner-forward in hurling
Jack Redmond
Rory Higgins
Connal Flood - Would he come back?

That's a really good list and most of the best hurlers in Wexford.

I'd include Conal Clancy as the only immediate addition.

Great list of players there. I think we are missing a few Rathnure lads? The standout team for me this year.

I would think about adding Sean O Brien to that extended panel. He will be 18 next year if he was in any other county he would be old enough to play for the senior county team. Who knows the rule where 18 year olds cant play adult may even change for next year

AJ Redmond would come back if asked. Joe Barrett has declined 2 years in a row. Aaron Duggan won't come back. Darragh Carley badly needs an injection of confidence from somewhere. Was invisible last weekend. Think Eoin Whelan will be back training soon, next week or 2 maybe. Jones is an excellent prospect. Too soon for Ciaran Doyle imo. Amazed you have Paudie Foley on the list at this stage tbh. And Barry O'Connor. Rory Higgins won't come back, he wouldn't be able for the training etc with injury sadly. Charlie Roark maybe for fullback longterm, but not sure. Defo not as a halfback at Senior level. Don't think Connall would come back. Oisin Foley might. Would be very surprised if Rory wasn't around come championship.

Don't think Sean Nolan would switch, don't even think it's fair on our Footballers to suggest it but if you were going to be looking at current Senior footballers I think Mark Rossiter and Paudie Hughes are better hurlers. If anything there are lads on the Hurling panel who would be more of an addition to the Footballers.

You have left off Charlie Mcguckin altogether. You have left off Darragh Kehoe, Seamus and Paudie Casey, and Darren Codd. Cathal Doyle well worth another look if you are talking about bringing in lads to have a look at, scored another 4 from play when getting nearly no ball at the weekend. Darragh Farrell. Jake Molloy. Cathal Parker. O Meara and O'Hagan. Maybe Niall Furlong, still young though, and Cormac Walsh also from the Alley. Justin and Andy Moran. Brian Quigley and Sean O Connor. Tadg Drohan and Cian Byrne (gk). Colum Fitzgerald. Aodhan Whitty and Jason Byrne. Brian Roban. Not saying any of those would definitely make it, but all would be worth a look, and some of the younger lads could be given work ons.

Stephen Martin has been playing the sweeper role for them this year, young and good potential, has been a man marker in the past. Brian Quigley solid at centre back also. Must be late 20s by now but has good presence and strong under high ball. Two definitely worth a look.

He has 5 Rathnure men on the list as it is. 1 won't play Senior again. Think you could add Sean O'Connor and Brian Quigley though.

Sean Nolan is an interesting one anytime ive seen him I too have thought he would be an asset to the hurlers.

I unfortuantely cant see the likes of 2 Foleys and Barry O Connor committing. We really need new players to step up next year and bring their games to the next level.

Impossible to predict now but here is a guess of what the matchday 26 could look like
Fanning ( I think he is still the best Goalkeeper in the county)
Eoin Ryan
Liam Ryan ( He seemed to be playing well for Rapps please god he can finally get an injury free run going)
Aj Redmond ( If he commits he is good enough to be a big addition)
Conor Foley
Cian Molloy
Damien Reck ( Play him wing back where he started his inter county career. he is not a 6)
Conor Hearne
Eamon Wickham ( Has really Impressed me the last few years)
Jack Redmond ( Has a serious scoring record for Rathnure needs to show next year he can make step up)
ROC ( Hoping he stays if not cant blame the lad)
Chin
Corey Byrne Dunbar ( Looks to have bulked up, Id playing him as a roaming forward I think he has big potential)
Mac ( Looks back to his best I think he is still best full forward in Wexford)
Simon Roche ( Toss up between him and Cian Byrne but I think Simon has huge potential)

One thing about this team is we shouldnt be lacking for score4

Subs
Andy Kennedy
Niall Murphy
Mike Kelly
Shane Reck
Seán Rowley
Darragh Carley
Kevin Foley
Richie Lawlor
Jack O'Connor
Cian Byrne
Seán Nolan ( If he commits really think he can be an asset)

I agree Darragh Kehoe from Cloughbawn definitely worth a look and he also left Conall Clancy from Harriers off the list another good prospect

Havent seen much of Cian Byrne from Rosslare in Goal. He is good enough to be Fannings replacement?

Best of our younger keepers imo, except for Paddy Quigley who is too young. Plays outfield for Rosslare.

Just on Conor Mahoney he scored 1-3 from play at the weekend for a team that played really poorly in general.
