Replying To Dazzler30: "Men against boys in the under 20 its a young squad hopefully can bounce back. Louth are really motoring well underage and senior have the house in order long time ago and its showing now." There was a stark difference in how they were moving, they seemed physically so far ahead. We have to beat Dublin now to advance it would seem. Beating just Wexford which will be extremely difficult won't be enough. It must be said there are 7 starters missing from that U20 team from what I was told last night, there are three from Tubberclair in Bourke, Staunton and O'Connor, Curran from Moate, Geary from Athlone, Ryan Kelly from Shamrocks and Conor Callaghan from Kinnegad. All seven of these are in their last year and have played adult championship for their club. The younger Whittaker looked promising when he came on. I think the question again that must be raised is the fact U18s cannot play adult football until they are 19. I think 8 or 9 of the team would not have played for their clubs above underage yet and then the step up is massive.

Wexford Hurling Thread - 1 Like(s)
Replying To Pikeman96: "Do you actually mean that "in Limerick, in spite of all the JP gossip, that the are definitely not treated the same"? Just asking since you go on to say there's such a difference that they try to avoid even having both squads at the same venue.
It's genuinely the case here that our football squads get all the same supports as our hurling ones.
Yes, there were a few controversies a few years ago over things like "the Minor hurlers got training tops and other gear, but the Minor footballers didn't", but that was through what used to be a separate Supporters Club that wasn't actually part of official Wexford GAA at the time, and that "went rogue" a few times.
And while it used often be said at year end (and maybe still can be said sometimes) that "there was more money spent on the hurlers than the footballers", that was mainly because the hurlers were generally involved in competition for longer, at least up to the introduction of the group stage in the Tailteann Cup. The spend per week was roughly the same on both codes - just used to be the case that the hurlers were in action for more weeks." Yes I do mean that. The footballers dont get treated badly or anything but the hurlers do get looked after a lot better.

All the best to the hurlers and footballers in the league finals tomorrow. Prediction is that footballers will win but hurlers will find Sligo too strong at home.

Hard luck to our minors tonight great performance after the first 10 minutes. Michael o Grady , Matthew speers and josh bosquette very good for leitrim . Had a half chance at the end to get a draw would have been a great boost.

Replying To Pope_Benedict: "We scored once but they scored 3times, really? Do you equate scoring own goals and actual goals in the one pot? A novel take, but does it make any sense?" An og is an og simple as that. Who benefits from an og. ?

Big step up from playing secondary schools football to adult football Louth are on a different level of everything than us . To be blunt we have nothing
