You would want to put Kenny Cloney from St.Annes in there, he had a brilliant year at corner back for us, both hurling and football

Wouldnt agree with Ciaran Lyng been in there. How many games did he play this year for the martins?
I would replace him with Ambrose Stafford from Clongeen

Lads, I'm not sure exactly how the P&G allstars work, but if they are designed to reflect performances in the club championship only, then I can't see how Peter Hughes of Kilanerin can be included on anybody's top 15 from this years club championship. He had a fine year with the Wexford U-21 team and this probably impacted negatively on his performances with Kilanerin later in the year. Seamus Hughes would be a much more deserving candidate from Kilanerin for inclusion. Also both Colm Kavanagh and Conor Byrne had very impressive performances throughout the latter stages of the championship. However as these latter 2 players are relatively unknown outside of the club they probably won't receive recognition.

Cant see how Ciaran Lyng or Peter Hughes could be in the team. Fine peformances at inter county level but didnt impress for their clubs. For what its worth, these are the most consistent club performers i've seen all year.

How are ye putting Peter Hughes in there.? Adrian Flynn got no mention and apart from the Co final he was one of Gusserane's best players in the championship - I'd put him in for Hughes.

Paudie McMahon gave a masterclass in goal keeping the whole championship making point blank and important saves at vital times in all of the shels games thru the championship. Even though kilanerin won the championship ive only put in 2 of their players but this is only because they played a team game with no stand out players with the exception of matty forde obviously. David bradley looks a great midfielder, be great if he would commit to the county team along with shane cullen to improve what is already a strong team and squad. David walsh n Brian Malone carried their county form thru to the club championship and maybe young lawler could strengthen the county teams backs if he chooses football over hurling if the new hurling manager wants him. i chose him at corner back even though he played most of the championship in midfield scoring highly and played one game and an extra time at full back. Flynn played very well for gusserane and although i didnt see much of the intermediate championship i saw colfer score some great points under pressure from tough positions against barntown in the final. I chose him as he was the best of what i saw in the games i seen through out.. Full team below, what do yee think???

Wex2da_core, i presume youre from shelmaliers ?? 4 players from there and they lost in semi final & only 2 from Kilanerin who beat the 2 championship favourites, clongeen & horeswood, before winning the final.

Agree with you in hindsight regarding tommy boland( would still have Shasne Cullen closer to the goal), not to sure regarding M Flynn O Connor (only saw them play the once) think Deely and collins (H/wood deserve amention) also have to admit about McMahon he was excellent for most of the game against A/Town but his retalation lead to the goal (I'm not Shels but did anyone notice where the ball was thrown in-on the 14 not the 20) He was also good against Gusserane in semi group stages only saw one game but reading paper he seemed to be doing fine.

Shall we draw up a list of three possible for each position and then whittle it down- rem there will be at least one from intermediate grade as well possibly two

NRD, i did introduce my 15 as "the most consistent club performers i've seen all year". Its great that other people have other opinions, just proves that there is plenty of interest out there.
I think thats a great idea of yours - nominating 3 players for each position. I might post my nominations when i have time to go through all the games.

i did state my reasons for only having 2 from kilanerin.. and i also said that the 15 players i chose were from the games i had seen as obviously cant make it to all of every clubs games.. therefor i am open to the fact that there are more than likely other players who should be on it that i just havent seen in championship... also along with clongeen, shels were also a lot of other peoples favourites for the championship.. all that aside i think the 3 nominations for each position would be a good way of rattlin it down to 15..

When i checked with the bookies in wexford before the championsip began, Clongeen were favourites just ahead of horeswood. Then came kilanerin, Starlights and castletown. Shels weren't ranked in the top 6 at that time.

Purple and Gold all stars are potentially becoming a joke this year in the players ommited from the purple and gold nominations, could be wrong but to the best of my knowledge Keith o Grady, Seamus Hughes, Amrose Stafford, Clive Lawler, Matty Flynn and a few others mentioned were not considered ???
Still think we should get a HS P& G Team and compare it to one selected??

From the nominations I think team will be as follows, those beside are whom I think should of got it in that line rather than that position, think Boland should get CF with Ambrose Stafford WF, but he wasn't included

Tom Hughes -------agree with
Paul Casey -------agree with
Johnny Waters -------agree with
Colm Morris -------agree with
Walter Cosgrave replace with Matty Flynn (Gus)
Pat Forde replace with Keith O Grady (Gus)
Gordon Hughes -------agree with
Brian Malone -------agree with
Paddy Colfer -------agree with
Ciarán Deely -------agree with
Philip Wallace replace with Ambrose Stafford (Clongeen)
Tommy Boland -------agree with
PJ Banville -------agree with
Shane Cullen -------agree with
Matty Forde -------agree with

Could be off the mark with chosen team but there doesn't seem to be a lot on the "bench" compared to players left out.
But then again it's all down to peoples opinions
