Hard luck Kilkenny. But today Wex just about got over the line. Kilkenny needed a goal and they did not get it. Mark Fanning did. Man of the match imho. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 30/06/2019 18:45:48 2203048 Link

Wexford were the better team, without TJ Reid Kilkenny are struggling but as usual Wexford get no credit for just play better. Jedobi (Wexford) - Posts: 138 - 30/06/2019 19:17:24 2203067 Link
It was a fairly even match up. Not a lot between the 2 teams. Wexford had some great interplay, a lá Joe Canning. I am glad they won. It is good for the game and the GAA in Loch Garman. That said the GAA should start looking at 2 refs for hurling, one in each half. Or maybe having a different ref for each half change at half time. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 30/06/2019 19:31:33 2203075 Link

Made that point about 2 refs earlier in the year. Especially when the sliotar can travel the length of the field in a couple of seconds. Great win today really overjoyed!! And great to see the minors bridge a 34 year gap too! The last time we won a Leinster minor title those players made a huge contribution to the senior success in the mid 90s Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11848 - 30/06/2019 19:57:41 2203096 Link
Replying To Jedobi: "Just about... Wexford were the better team, without TJ Reid Kilkenny are struggling but as usual Wexford get no credit for just play better." I think we were the better team in general play against them the last 3 years now! Long time since that could be said! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 11848 - 30/06/2019 19:59:37 2203097 Link
Replying To Jedobi: "Just about... Wexford were the better team, without TJ Reid Kilkenny are struggling but as usual Wexford get no credit for just play better." Kilkenny were well into the two figures in the wides count to Wexfords three, made some extremely poor decisions during the game and should have had Wexford finished off well before the final whistle. As for the decision making after the Wexford goal went in, I don't know what Kilkenny were thinking. Enjoy the victory, but Kilkenny blew that game Heftydickonem (Kilkenny) - Posts: 175 - 30/06/2019 20:50:42 2203114 Link
Super win for Wexford. Great scenes, lovely to see. Hats off to Davy Fitz. He has brought Wexford along way in such a short period. Ban (Westmeath) - Posts: 1415 - 30/06/2019 20:58:26 2203118 Link

Congrats to Wexford. The cats are a pale shadow of their illustrious past. Going forward for now all teams require to do is take care of TJ and don't concede frees. It was an exciting contest but Limerick would open up either like a can opener. Tipp would probable out muscle either. However I will be rooting for Wexford to get to the final and then see what happens. Davy has pulled a bunny out of the hat before. Canuck (Waterford) - Posts: 2660 - 30/06/2019 21:50:48 2203148 Link

You make bad decisions when your under pressure. Having it reversed with a win feels good. bottletopbill (Wexford) - Posts: 71 - 30/06/2019 22:04:45 2203159 Link
Replying To Ej: "Is it possible for Kilkenny to just be beaten by a better team on the day?" Exactly, Wexford were just better than Kilkenny today. Also even though they didn't win, they were also the better side in the 3 games they drew in the round robin. They are now the only unbeaten side left in the championship (along with Laois) which is some going. I'm delighted for Davy, this was make or break year and he has delivered. Maybe it something to do with the previous management too, but he has brought Wexford from also rans even in Leinster championship to genuine All-Ireland contenders in 3 years which is unreal. With what he done with Clare, Waterford and now Wexford, I hope he will be finally recognised as a great manager which is what he deserves. county man (Limerick) - Posts: 1102 - 30/06/2019 22:09:29 2203161 Link

Rubbish, Wexford and Kilkenny provided 2 best games of the championship, your post is the dilluisinal Munster rubbish on this forum. Jedobi (Wexford) - Posts: 138 - 30/06/2019 22:31:57 2203168 Link

Every1 has been saying how well Huw Lawlor played and he did come out with alot of ball but Conor Mac still scored 4 points from play off him?
