Last night I believe we witnessed the beginning of the Martins domination of Wexford hurling for possibly the next 10 year. I know everybody expected this from shels in the last 5 or 6 years after their dominance at underage level but it looks like Martins are able to bring that forward to senior over a long time.
Glynn will challenge them but Martins are going to be the new Oulart.

Was at the two games in bellfield last night. First game was poor enough . Rathnure done enough to pull through after. The second game I taught was very good. Probably the 2 best teams in the county at the minute. Martins probably deserved to win by more but Oulart never lie down. Rory O Connor is some talent gave an exhibition last night. Jack O Connor was also outstanding he is really improving this year I think .

I agree completely with you all regarding Oulart, it is so evident that Martins now are the new kingpins. They beat Oulart last night under lights in first round of championship. We should all go out and put the house on Martins for the county fial. Oulart are gone so bad I wouldn't be surprised if they end up being relegated this year.Anyway all shall be revealed come county final day

Stratos I think you are getting ahead of yourself. Oulart will be relegated? Two of the best teams in the county played on Friday night. No doubt Oulart will be back in the mix at the end of the year. Martins finally delivered on there potential. Still though a lot of games to be played before the end of the year but after beating Oulart, they are defiantly the favourites. Talking to an Oulart man last night, he didn't know why people were surprised by the result, they weren't. Makes for a great championship. Disappointing now that there won't be any games until July though and with this new format being proposed means even less time for club championship games.

Got to the 6 senior games at the weekend, oulart and st martins looked a level above the rest, there game was outstanding but ferns and gorey was very good aswel. cloughbawn rathnure was poor enough, the clonroche men will be kicking themselves over the loss they hit alot of wides and lead most of the game but got undone by a goal with 2 mins of normal time left. barry carton looked clougbawns best player i was surprised connal flood played he is involved with bray wanderers. some of rathnures subs made a difference when introduced 1of them by name of shane lawlor, guiney also has some good moments for them. oulart st martins was a brillant game, it would be foolish to write off oulart they missed a penalty and hit alot of wides in the 2nd half but the martins are certainly a live contender this year. rory o'connor looks like an excptional talent and is well able to cope with physical stakes wouldnt be surprised to see him inloved wth the county team after the leaving cert he orchestrated things at centre forward and his brother jack was very good aswel both at half forward and then half back when they went down to 14 men but they looked strong all over the field. taught eoin moore and sinnott were oularts best performers. martins could come undone in later in the year when there code hopping every weekend but there looking like strong contenders in both at the moment. the harriers were full value for there 5 point when over the rapps who were poor upfront and relied on mossy mahon frees to stay in touch. harriers played a 2 man full forward line packed the middle 3rd and played richie kehoe as the loose man in defence. i think this sufficated the life out of the rapps, unsurprisinly chin at midfield was the outstanding player on both teams. glynn will be very dissapointed to lose 3 weeks in a row between hurling and football they were chasing the game from the get go against buffers alley and once the alley got there goals they reverted to a defensive set up and were hard to break down. pat kenny was dangerous all threw for the alley at corner forward, glynn were short o'regan through injury and john leacy only came on at half time. ferns and gorey was a very entertaining game today good free flowing hurling from both teams a draw probably would have been a fair result but ferns nicked it with a bitzy o'connor injury time point. morris was there main man today got 1-5 from full forward although gorey will be dissapointed with the goal was a soft 1 to give away from there perspective, pardaig doyle was very good for gorey got 12 points and 5 of them from play. oilgate and the shels was poor enough, damien reck was very good at centre back, the 2 important scores were a couple of 2nd half goals which came from high balls into jim white who played as a target man at full forward, shels looked poor but they were missing aidan murphy,joe kelly and the doyle brothers. an enjoyable weekend in fairness and good weather to boot.

Friday night Martins v Oulart was one of the best championship games i've witnessed in the last 20 years! Absolute joy to watch, can see it being the same match up for the County final.

Unfortunately Saturdays games were no where near that standard, Chinner absolutely dragged the Harriers over the line with a bit of help from Clarke & Farrell, Glynn & the Alley was poor from start to finish, very scrappy and messy. if Leacy and O'Regan has of been fit to start i think Glynn would have beat them but infairness to the Alley they got the goals at perfect times just when it looked like Glynn were about to come back into it.
Next round of fixtures not on till after the Leinster final.

i would think if wexford win leinster there might be something between it and the semi because they are 4-5 weeks apart?,if we lose itll be after the semi due to quarter final.

Can anyone update me on the likely next round of club championship for hurling/football now with the different scenarios arising from the Leinster hurling final? Under 21 hurlers and senior footballers out in the week following this, is it likely that there will be anyclub championship in July regardless of if we win or lose against Galway? Very confused on the whole situation which is frustrating when trying to book a holiday!
