Nah, was out for most of the year. Made a difference when he came on in the SF v Limerick and was outstanding in both finals. Overall though not enough hurling done to be in the running. Outside bet for All-Star. When his head is right, an outstanding talent.

I think Richie Hogan without any contest. I cant help being biased here and saying I think Conor McDonald should be young hurler of the year.

Richie Hogan is the obvious one and it'll be richly deserved imo. Richie Power is a decent shout too though as he performed excellently as well.

Hogan will get it and maybe just about shaded Callinan. Both were great in League and Chsip. Would disagree with Cyril Farrell who said Reid was ahead of Callinan. Reid had 2/3 poorish games.

Cathal Barret has to get Young Hurler and first name in the full back line. It will be a crime if he doesnt.

Paul Galvin after surviving yesterday's attack to play a crucial role.

Lads Dowling has already 3 good years behind at senior level and he is only a few months too old for under 21 next year. Has to have it - simple as

Shane Dowling averaged 12 points a game this year. Barrett was outstanding. Hard to call, but I'm going for Dowling just about.

Cathal Barrett for young hurler of the year. Conor McDonald is the player I would like to get it. Great in Senior & U.21 this year.

Shane Dowling might get free taker of the year.

Richie Hogan will more than likely get Senior hurler of the year.

Lads re Young hurler of the year, it speaks volumes for the future of the game that we can mention a few lads, all worthy of winning it, and still have other gems like Tony Kelly nowhere in teh discussion. I think hurling is in its best ever spell andwith the potential to keep getting better

No chance of Wexford getting hurler of the year this year or an all-star. Has been a while since we have had anything to crow about in relation to individual player, would love to see C McDonald get it. Will be up against it tough with the boys from Clare as they won the U21 in the end. Still you'd have to say he had a good presence when playing senior against some big strong senior players this year too and maybe that might sway it his way.
