Replying To Wexfordgaa: "Didn't think this though but I drive for a living and working Sunday so said I'd get the train from Dublin didn't realise the fixture for the minors was at 12 in portlaoise even though would be tight for time. The times for these games are a disgrace by the way" Match won't be over till 1:15 and according to Google Maps it's 2 hours to Salthill and that's not accounting for the nightmare that is trying to get through the city itself out to Pearse Stadium.

Replying To Paull: "I am 100% confident we will win the minor tomorrow. But the big one is the Senior of course. A win there and I think we will be in the Leinster Final." We won't be in the Leinster final if dub win 2/3 of their remaining matches. They have the head to head against us. Purpleandgold72 (Wexford) - Posts: 252 - 09/05/2025 22:54:14 2607931 Link
Replying To Past hurler: "Can't see where that confidence is coming from in the minors. Laois bet Offaly by 31 points last week." Offally are fairly dire at minor level. Its no secret that the current u20s was a freak with so many good lads at the same age. Very little ahead of it and behind it. Fair play fir winning a minor and u20 couldn't begrudge them that. They took their chance but unfortunately didnt win the one they were tipped to win this year. The demands of playing in liam Mccarthy compared to joe macdonagh last year definitely took its toll. I think they will do better against kk than most expect. They ran dublin close but froze under pressure against galway. Its not a gimme for any team. This is a good laois u20 team but i think they were made look better the last day then they are. This crop beat kk at minor ao wont fear them. This is a average kk u20 team again. Laois should go in with no fear whatsoever. Cant wait for tomor its a huge game. It nearly feels like knock out but realistically kk and dublin will qualify so that leaves tomorrows match absolutely huge. Jacko will have to kewp the head tomor absolutely no good getting sent off. Galway could put molloy in on ryan and try run him around but he is a huge addition back at full back. Id expect shane reck to go after mannion. I woulsnt be as concerned about whelan he hasnt being going well at all. That gakway team wouldn't strike fear into anyone and that defense looks slow. Lee needs help tomorrow. Too many times rory o goes in and out he needs to step up as a consistent leader. Conor mac probably wont start but jacko if hw keeps his head could start. Id be suprised if lessons aren't learnt from the last day when it comes to puckouts. I hope the supporters get traveling to these matches again. It has being poor to date. The supporters can give you that little extra so hopefully a big support in salthill Slowandshortsighted (UK) - Posts: 57 - 09/05/2025 23:20:09 2607934 Link
Replying To Viking66: "We are in the same bracket as Laois, Kildare, Meath etc as regards playing numbers. So too are Clare, Waterford and Limerick though." The last figures I could find were 2020. If we were from Cork we would have something to really complain about and as I have always said Dublin have not made the best use of their resources. That said ourselves and Kildare have a lot in common. These are Youth teams.

The very best of luck to both teams today. We capable of two win and wouldn't it be lovely to relax tonight after two good wins. My heart says wexford but unfortunately my head say differently. Hope to god I am wrong. hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1125 - 10/05/2025 08:48:01 2607957 Link

Replying To Purpleandgold72: "We won't be in the Leinster final if dub win 2/3 of their remaining matches. They have the head to head against us." That won't matter as if we win all our remaining games there will be 3 teams on 8 including Kilkenny so it will be score difference, or only us and Dublin if the dubs beat Kilkenny as 1 of their 2 wins.

Very hard for any of them to get on more ball when it's all played to Lee. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 15681 - 10/05/2025 09:19:18 2607962 Link

On the road. In hope more than expectation. Expect a few changes to starting 15. If we cut out mistakes we have a chance. And management need to make changes quicker than recently, if required. Yellowhelmet (Australia) - Posts: 137 - 10/05/2025 09:54:35 2607971 Link

I can't see us lining up as per the team named either. If we have our act together We're definitely capable of going up here and getting some sort of result.

Minors have been their own worst enemy at times, have misplaced too many passes and failed to control the ball too often as well Should have prevented the goal anyway but looked like it should have been a square ball to me ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 479 - 10/05/2025 12:33:25 2607999 Link
Minor match a good game. We look slightly better team at moment but playing against wind in 2nd half. Missed a great goal scoring chance about 5 minutes before half time and hitting a lot of wides. Laois goal was dropped by our keeper and wing forward kicked it to the net, disappointing one to concede. We need to up it more and get goals if we are to win this one. hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1125 - 10/05/2025 12:40:56 2608003 Link
Good win, a very good performance, they were the better team and that Laois team is not bad. All roads lead to salthill now hunting (Wexford) - Posts: 1125 - 10/05/2025 13:17:32 2608010 Link
Would be happy enough with that performance from the Minors, felt like we handed them a good few of their scores while they handed us nothing, 0-22 was a good score to rack up and most of it was from play, good spread of scorers too, dug in well towards the end Laois were ok enough, would say their Minor side from 3 years ago was better though, 14 was a good hurler for them Thought Gethings did really well at full-back, Kennedy was good at corner-forward too, and Wickham was a real handful until he went off injured O'Brien is just different gear though, it's not just what he scored, it's what he set up as well, felt like a lad playing over-age for all that he's not that big (Although he is well-built) I understand the style of play we were going for, it wasn't working at times and gave them a way back into the match but at the same time, we were able to generate a good few scoring opportunities through it. Would have to hope it's a case of teething problems ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 479 - 10/05/2025 13:22:21 2608011 Link
