Replying To ElGranSenor: "I'm going through the clubs and thinking who was their last senior hurler Other ones I'm struggling on are Marshalstown, OLI, St Fintan's, Kilmore, and Gusserane" I've after perusing the Wexford GAA Bible.... Marshalstown had Mitch Jordan most famously. St.Fintan's had a heap of lads in the pre-Rackard days, the most recent being Paddy Kelly in 1952. OLI and Kilmore have had no-one from what I can see, although would John Meyler technically count for OLI? And I'm fairly sure that Willie O'Neill captained Wexford to the minor All-Ireland in the 60s, hurled a few games at senior subsequently and they would have been joined with St.Anne's at the time. Paddy Kehoe Gusserane's most famous, and only, hurler. Craanford haven't had anyone play senior yet, but Joe Conroy was corner-back on the minor team in 2019. Think one of the O'Loughlin brothers would have been floating around the panel for a spell in the 00s. beano (Wexford) - Posts: 1534 - 23/04/2026 19:37:10 2668210 Link
Replying To Doylerwex: "Mitch Jordan. Legend." I had completely memory-holed him tbh, was half-wondering whether the former TD John Browne played for both Marshalstown and Wexford ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 1086 - 23/04/2026 22:19:21 2668244 Link

Replying To Magpie2: "Yeah, it's always late the night before for some reason" Checked back and I got the Cairde Loch Garman email with the team selection for match v Kildare at 12 o'clock last Friday. Senior football team for match v Louth was on it as well. They'd have gone online an hour or two later, like they normally do. Might be roughly the same sort of time this week then.

Replying To Formertownie: "Remember those days well . Can u imagine the lodgitics of a team manager trying to get lads notice of those games . No what's app, very few phones Word of mouth and driving round giving notices out . That was in town back then . I do remember notices going in through letter box hand delivered. Checking local paper for fixtures Backvthen there Were reports on local paper on lots of matches inc underage you be rushing home aftrr school to see did u get a mention for plying well . If yiu didn't yiu were disappointed and if you did you were 10ft tall . Innocent times . Not enough games but you did work hard for the few you got . And looked forward to them we were lucky enough to win a few Premier titles back in the day . Still hold cherished memories maybe its rose tinted glasses but they are my memories and hold them dearly. They were my all irelands I m still friendly with loads of those lads that are still around." I remember my name being in a headline in "The Echo" for a goal I scored that won an U12 match for us. I put it in a scrapbook that's very possibly still in one of the old boxes in the attic in my mother's place. Maybe I'll have a look for it sometime. But yeah, very fact that there were newspaper reports on U12 group matches shows just how few matches there really were at the time. Imagine trying to do it now.

Kilkenny team named Tallis still in goal, Richie Reid on the bench but would expect him to start… replaced by Ivan Bolger, Killian Doyle and Jordan Molloy midfield, Cian Kenny down to start centre forward but will probably play out around midfield.

No that's true nowadays would be logistical nightmare. Although it could be dine if managers sent a little report in to paper and have a section for each age , code division . With the amount of players nowadays at all ages . Could be a good marketing ploy fir local papers. And a way if promoting our games . Special section even . If club does nt send in report it does nt get in . Every young lad wants to see their name in lights . Just shows how impactful it can be you still remember it . I remember getting man of the match in a school game we were nt supposed to win . Was posted up.in the school on notice board in highlights . And I still remember it was prob first time I ever felt recognised as hurler . All helps in the growing lof our ove for the game . Looking forward to tommorrow let's hope we bring our A game Formertownie (Wexford) - Posts: 580 - 24/04/2026 12:28:49 2668335 Link

Maybe you should check that beano, L finn definitely played senior for Wexford, maybe not championship but he definitely played some league games.

Unchanged squad as far as I can see bar Simon Donohoe coming in for Stephen Martin on the bench ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 1086 - 24/04/2026 13:14:50 2668343 Link
Team named same team that started the last day. Wouldn't be suprised to see at least one change before throw in. Simon Donohoe comes into the 26.

Would it make sense to start Jippo? I'd be worried about Conor on TJ, Kilkenny will definitely launch in some bombs. Also it's not like TJ will run the legs off Jippo and he'd match up with TJ in air better than Conor. Fulgrim (Wexford) - Posts: 283 - 24/04/2026 14:39:10 2668370 Link
