Replying To ElGranSenor: "Thinky Oylegate will have a very good team in 3-5 years time but they're only building towards that now, will take them a bit of time
Paul Carley seemed to think the Martin's should be favourites even without Rory and Barry O'Connor, not so sure on that one myself, Rathnure were hardly miles off the Martin's last year and that was a young enough Rathnure team, ROC and BOC are huge losses as well, Rathnure the most likely winners for me" Not sure Oylegate will be better in 5 years time. It depends on if their best underage players stay playing GAA. One of their best prospects went to Leinster rugby recently.
It would be great to see Rathnure win another Senior title, or St Annes either, who would be my dark horses if Rathnure dont win it.

Martins still favourites in my eyes have huge strength in depth. Rathnure coming good aswell but probably don't have the panel yet to win it hope I'm wrong.

Saw most of the Oulart-Rapps game and saw bits and pieces of the Gorey-Fethard game
Wides killed the Rapps, hit a load of them early on in the first half and then hit a few bad ones from frees in the second half, suppose the difference in the end was that Oulart just weren't as wasteful
Jippo was solid, Oulart weren't able to put him under much pressure, thought Donohoe and Oisín Pepper were probably the Rapps's two best players, Pepper's S&C seems to have come on a good bit
Jack Dunne and Billy Dunne the two star picks for Oulart, thought Kian O'Connor was a handful up front too, pretty much created the goal, good hand and touch on him and good height to him as well, was a bit of a loss not to have him at U20 this year
Was a bit puzzled by Oulart playing Simon Roche as their sweeper (Or at least that's how it seemed), Kevin Foley a bit quiet too, no real flow to the game until maybe the last ten minutes and that's despite the game not being a free-fest
On S&C, Gorey seem like the club with the best S&C culture anyway (Not a high bar to pass unfortunately), didn't really set the world alight tonight though and the scoreline flattered them a bit, suppose the goals were killers for Fethard, they were competitive enough otherwise
Just two last things....
What exactly is the correct definition and implementation of the black card rule? Garrett Foley was black-carded tonight (Fairly, it must be said) and Gorey were then awarded a 21-yard free rather than a penalty. Was I wrong to think that all black cards were automatically penalties?
Hitting wides is a big problem across all teams in Wexford, club or county. I think a big reason why is the areas Wexford teams/clubs shoot from, should be playing a pass into the full-forward-line rather than shooting from out the pitch in a lot of cases

If you were looking at game you would see it was red that was given.
Clubber people were saying it was red but they could do with glasses most days.

Wasn't 100% clear what exactly the referee held up but Clubber commentator immediately declared "black card!" and went on to wonder more than once why a penalty wasn't given.
Knew myself the black card & penalty rule doesn't apply in club hurling and wondered what was going on, so phoned somebody who I knew would have been at the match. They said it was a straight red all right.
Clubber commentator (and I don't know who he was - seems to be somebody new this year) was clearly incorrect in what he called.

Caught up with the Rathnure-Glynn game this morning....
I'd say Rathnure will be very unhappy that Glynn were able to level the game in injury time, I know Rathnure still ended up winning but when you consider they were 2-19 to 0-16 up just a few minutes before the end of the regulation 60, they'll be mad that they conceded 3-01 in such a short space of time
Jack Redmond, Charlie Mooney, and Ian Reilly the pick of the bunch for Rathnure, thought Cathal Sinnott stood out for Glynn, that was a young enough team Glynn had out tbf to them
Madness in hindsight that Jack Redmond was put in the full-forward line rather than the half-forward line for Wexford

Very windy and a bit wet in Bree for the Oylegate-Ferns game, even enough first half but Oylegate were well on top in the second half, Ferns flattered to only lose by one, they weren't able to get anything going in the second half and only some wasteful shooting from Oylegate kept them in it
Seán Rowley got three points from play but could have a lot more only for some poor shooting, his potential is very high but he still has a lot to work on

Watched a few games, live and on clubber. Cloughbawn good value for their win, probably shouldve won by more. Castletown will hurl better as the season goes on no doubt.
Harriers Shels was a good game. The county lads stood out, but Aidan Cash was decent too, and the Harriers cornerback who played Football for Marys.
Fethard and Gorey was competitive too, Fethard by no means outclassed and will surprise a few people when they get their injured lads back. Mac was good but faded. Aodhan Doyle continued his good run of scoring from last year.
Taghmon had the chance to go 1 up with 5 minutes to go, but Mouse Ryan made a good save, and then Gusserane got a goal when the game shouldve been stopped as a player had no helmet on. Taghmon had some good goal chances but didnt take them, and Gusseranes superior fitness saw them pull clear in the last 5 minutes.
Martins looked very good, fought hard around the middle and dominated possession. Their Taghmon man was particularly good !!!!

Watched Duffry v Rosslare. 1st half was terrible, Duffry got better in the second half and deserved their win.

Seen martins v annes,thought martins were in second gear,even tho they were missing lots of players,they introduced some more young talent too,they just have to many good hurlers,they are miles ahead of everyone really,even without the 2 oconnors that are away!!! In fairness to st annes they plugged away didnt throw in the towel and will still be in the thick of it come the knockout stages!!!
Shels and harriers games i thought was poor stuff,think the harriers very lucky to be up at half time,shels missed loads of scores in the first half!!! Thought chin had a good first half but poor in the second half and it looks like the harriers have no1 else to score really!!! The shels adapted to playing against the wind really well,playing through the lines,conor hearne and ross banville in the second have gave dominant displays!!! Two very poor teams,i thought the harriers would have enough for the shels,i think the loss of richie kehoe and richie lawlor who i heard are injured would have got harriers over the line!!!!

Have the advantage here of my father telling me the best games to watch from the weekend while not spoiling the games! But that luxury is almost over.
He recommended that match between Rathnure and Barntown and it was a banger of a match. Rathnure would have been sick had Glynn won it. A very good game of hurling.
I was watching two Tipp club matches from yesterday this evening and my biggest take away is the S&C and pace at which everything is done in Munster is a notch ahead of Wexford and Leinster in general. Both of these are gaps we have to bridge.

I see Sean O'Brien did not hurl for Cushinstown this weekend- not allowed by the club as still u-18. Yet hurled for Wex in the Glen Fuels game this year and obviously eligible to play. Best u-20 Wex had. What are clubs in the county thinking. Apparently Askamore were going to do the same with u-18's until there was a late intervention. Talk about stopping development of young talent.

Askamore might change that looking by there group result. I suppose it's up to each club to decide but I know in our own club it's been very hands off letting u18s hurl with our second team but no pressure to train or anything. And in constant contact with the minor manager so as not to have too many matches etc. it's a good way of easying them into adult hurling.
