Senior football: Starlights v shels- shels easy Martins v taghmon- martins even easier Glynn v annes- Glynn by 4 - 6 points Gusserane v horeswood- possible draw Fethard v st james- St James by the minimum Castletown v sarsfields- castletown by a landslide Verdict: Castletown to be very strong with all the outsiders they have brought in and could win it out but I fancy Glynn to win the title they should have won last year. Intermediate: Duffry v st joesphs- Impossible to know... Josephs have loads of new players but soccer is still on so Ill go with Duffry Adamstown v clongeen - Adamstown by a few Ballyhogue v maudlintown -Ballyhogue by a couple Ferns v bunclody- ferns Bannow v kilarerin - No brosnan anymore and kilanerin with the tara rocks players on board swings it their way. Kilanerin by 4 -6 points Fintans v rosslare- Fintans comfortable Verdict: A very tough championship to call. Cant see Bannow competing again without brosnan. Kilanerin and adamstown obvious contenders but wont be surprised with a bold showing from one of the town teams if not both. Will still go with Kilanerin based on amalgamation and the matty factor. hurlin101 (Wexford) - Posts: 115 - 19/04/2017 10:39:51 1980695 Link
Senior Shels v stars- Shels comfortable I'd say Castletown v Sars - castletown easy Glynn v Anne's- hardest to call in group but I'll go for Glynn just Martin's v taghmon - closer than people think but Martin's will win Gusserane v horeswoood- interesting encounter . Lot of talk in horeswood but nothing proven yet. I'll go gusserane Jimmies v fethard - jimmies should win this one going on last couple of years but should be close Inter Bunclody v ferns - bunclody Adamstown v clongeen - adamstown Ballyhogue v maudlintown - ballyhogue Rosslare v Fintans - Fintans Duffry v Joseph's - Joseph's Killanerin v bannow - killanerin freshoh (Wexford) - Posts: 131 - 19/04/2017 12:22:59 1980745 Link

Is the not a new rules that lads involved in County Minor Set Ups are not allowed to train or play games with adult club teams until the county minor is over?

Replying To LivingTheDream: "Is the not a new rules that lads involved in County Minor Set Ups are not allowed to train or play games with adult club teams until the county minor is over?" By god I hope that is not the case!!!! Club teams should at minimum be allowed to see their county minors for one session the week of match and goes without saying that they should most certainly not be asked to train a morning that they could be playing championship with their club. At least from next year on this wont be an issue anymore hurlin101 (Wexford) - Posts: 115 - 20/04/2017 10:06:14 1981039 Link

The minors (in both hurling and football) and under 17s have been a complete shambles so far and it's really no surprise. We need sensible, non biased, organised people to look after these teams. Not lads looking to massage their own egos and get lads from their own clubs into panels and onto teams 890202 (Wexford) - Posts: 1278 - 22/04/2017 21:34:44 1981769 Link
Easy win for St. Martin's. Looked in control all game against Taghmon. 19 wides for Glynn yesterday. Same problem as last year. They'd be dangerous if they could score Footballman225 (Wexford) - Posts: 1 - 23/04/2017 18:36:23 1981928 Link

Anyone see the games today ? Castletown mighty impressive winners against Sarsfields. Them and Martins look to be the early contenders. onetwo (Wexford) - Posts: 29 - 23/04/2017 20:21:55 1981974 Link

They'd be dangerous if they could score" Yeah glynn and the annes was a strange game early on the actual general play was even but glynn was unbelievably wasteful and the annes were very efficient to lead 1-5 0-0, then annes didnt score for 30 mins and fall 1 point behind but eventually edged it. Martins and taghmon was men against boys stuff but the last few years martins have steamrolled teams in there group but come unstuck later in the year. Not big shocks over the weekend rosslare beating fintans was a surprise and maudlintown having 11 points to spare over ballyhogue was a standout scoreline bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 24/04/2017 12:16:32 1982168 Link

Castletown look immense. As strong a starting 15 as you will see. Morris' influence is stamped all over them, so efficient with the ball and great defence as always. Have certainly made themselves leading contenders now along with Martins. hurlin101 (Wexford) - Posts: 115 - 24/04/2017 12:32:08 1982175 Link
