Probably worth noting for context that three years ago, Galway had the following results against Kilkenny and Dublin at Minor level.... Group stage: Galway 1-23 Kilkenny 0-13 (Nowlan Park) Semi-Final: Galway 3-22 Dublin 0-13 (Tullamore) Final: Galway 2-20 Kilkenny 0-14 (Portlaoise) So a 13-point win, am 18-point win, and a 12-point win ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 1027 - 04/04/2026 22:47:39 2664816 Link
Replying To Crashingwaves: "Who is making them hot favourites? They have been well beaten by a few of the Munster counties in challenge matches." Challenge games mean nothing, especially as the lad who scored 3-9 today didnt play in most of them. Nor did a few others who were with your Seniors. Afaik we played 4 challenge games against Munster counties, maybe 5, and only lost 1 of them. Thats why you would be hot favourites in my book.

Replying To ElGranSenor: "Thought Ciarán Doyle, Charlie Roark, Colin Carley, and Podge Doyle were our best today Think we've struggled physically at underage level in recent years but competed well today, difference was that their full-forward-like absolutely cleaned us out and then we hit a scandalous number of wides" Kilkenny will win by 10 to 15 points next week. How have Oulart nobody on this team and Glynn Barntown only 1 yet the 2 best Minor teams year after year. A complete joke of a set up Bryson (Wexford) - Posts: 26 - 04/04/2026 23:37:49 2664829 Link
Replying To WexMurph: "Was that u17 team today the team that will play in the minor championship? Or was it the year below" Some will play some wont it seemed to be used to get game time into some lads who will defo play on minor team proper. Lads like Rory Durack Sean Doyle Eoghan Keogh are great talents. Minors should be good Bryson (Wexford) - Posts: 26 - 04/04/2026 23:44:04 2664831 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Im not sure but I presume so" Same management over both teams Bryson (Wexford) - Posts: 26 - 04/04/2026 23:45:33 2664832 Link
Just finished watching the game now. Or more specifically, the first half. Because it was over by then. When are people going to realise the level of trouble Wexford are staring down the barrel of? We get the odd result here and there but we're winning nothing. My father goes to coaching sessions etc and said they were still talking about the 2019 minors a year or two ago. He said somebody made a point to the effect of them being hammered in the semi final and there was silence. I fear for where we are, and I fear more for where we are going.

Replying To Viking66: "That was at minor. We beat Kilkenny in a round robin game and a knockout game at this level less than 3 years ago. Galway only scored 6 points from play themselves. It wasnt a day for scoring points. But they had a Senior intercounty starter who got them 3 goals. They are red hot favourites to win the AI this year." 3 years ago- 1 good result. How many hidings in between. They scored 3-6 from play. We scored 2 points. Be worried about the Kildare game and a repeat of 2021. countyman2022 (Wexford) - Posts: 955 - 05/04/2026 08:52:05 2664847 Link
Replying To Crashingwaves: "That game today was much closer than the scoreboard would suggest. Wexford should have been 6 or more points up at half time." Yeah, probably, you'd know better than me but I'd say ye still probably have a few to come back, I'd say your coaching staff will be very happy with how efficient your forwards were but don't think they'll be happy with Galway's performance in the middle third, didn't really dominate there ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 1027 - 05/04/2026 11:31:47 2664854 Link
Replying To Bryson: "Kilkenny will win by 10 to 15 points next week. How have Oulart nobody on this team and Glynn Barntown only 1 yet the 2 best Minor teams year after year. A complete joke of a set up" Kilkenny beat Kildare yesterday by 9 points, they beat us by 4 points three years ago in Minor and they got thwacked by Kilkenny twice, maybe they do give us a hiding next week and I'll be proven wrong but I don't think we're nearly as far off them as we are off Galway, they're probably miles clear of everyone in Leinster this year ElGranSenor (Wexford) - Posts: 1027 - 05/04/2026 11:36:41 2664855 Link
