Replying To Viking66: "Saw some close games over the weekend, plenty of effort, although quality was a little lacking. Will watch the Davidstown v Askamore game sometime today, seemingly the game of the weekend but I didnt get to see it.
Cant say any forwards really stood out in the games I saw, although it struck me there were a large number of frees which didnt help the games flow at all." A constant problem in Wexford hurling. Look how the second KK semi final was reffed and then watch our second semi final. its a constant issue.

If at the start of the year someone said to you that Eoghan Nolan would be in the running for full forward on the team of the year - you might have said he was talking about Football. At this rate he will make both along with Barry O'Connor.

I think Rathnure should beat Shels, feel like Shels are a bit reliant on Banville upfront, Eoghan Nolan brings a goal threat alright but think Rathnure back should be able to get on top
Shels probably stronger at the back than in attack but think Rathnure have more about them in attack
Thought Gorey were disappointing yesterday, had a good first 20 minutes but were second best from there on in
They flatter to deceive a bit, have good hurlers and have decent enough size but don't think they're the fittest group going and I thought their forwards were struggling to win their own ball
As for the Martin's, they're still a good team but you don't just lose someone like Rory O'Connor and continue as if nothing had ever happened, they've good depth and the tail of their team is strong as is their bench but even at that, the gap between whoever came in for him and Rory is fairly stark (Same goes for nearly any club team not named Ballygunner who have a lost a player of Rory's calibre)
Martin's also had a few injuries as well tbf to them, at least they've a football final to look forward to

I wrote a pretty comprehensive review (and maybe critical) of semi finals but they were not published.
I do think it will be good final - Shels are a very decent team. They handle the ball very well and move it through the lines well. Eoghan Kehoe is goal threat and Sean Keane Carroll was superb yesterday. However I think Rathnure have the better panel and have subs to bring on that may turn the game. Conor O'Neill did a superb job on Barry O'Connor yesterday which prob surprised a lot of people that Rathnure would chance one of their smaller lighter players. Gorey were very one dimensional. Martins still a superb team and maybe Rathnure got the bit of luck this time around that they didn't get in the county final.

Think a big problem for Gorey looking back at it is that they had a good crop of underage players coming through in the early-to-mid 2010s and they helped them to go from Intermediate A to winning Senior and they got in some good young players (Won Premier Minor for the first time in 2020, think) which helped keep the team fresh and they then won in 2023
But outside of Jamie Kennedy coming in this year, no-one else has come through in the meantime and some of their core have now gotten old
