Really annoyed about it actually. I made plans that Saturday and now I won't be able to attend the game, will have to get someone to take my season ticket.

Its a strange one, I was just thinking myself last weekend Antrim and Dublin was on at 2 on Saturday and available on GAAGO, maybe its moved to suit that streaming platform too, also in both instances its a weekend with no football league games.

Replying To wexico15:  "Just on the last sentence I'd say over the years there was many a St Kieran's team that wasn't far off a de-facto intercounty team."
Development squads have probably lessened the effect ... but your point is still valid.

All square at half time. The 6 Wexford lads playing well. Dunbar has had a great influence on the game since dropping back to midfield and Casey has scored his frees long and short and is playing well also.

Casey again catching the eye and Dunbar looks like a fella really enjoying his hurling..

Amazing! Another last puck goal to win a game! Glad the Wexford lads got through without any serious injury. Hard luck to ITC. Thought Higgins had it won. Dunbar noticeably tired. Casey looked very sharp and excellent on the frees. AJ looked very solid back there too. Hopefully Eoin Cody's form continues into the championship.

Crazy ending, taught Higgins was outstanding and Casey had a fine game too, agree on Dunbar, I imagine that will be Eoin Cody's worst performance of the year, l suspect the preparation of the aftermath of a club all ireland was far from ideal, on the final coming up taught it was unfair on both playing Thursday with the other semi final on Wednesday, 2 day gap to final the final compared to 3 makes a big difference.

Agree Higgins and Casey were the standout wexford players. Thought Dunbar was good in patches. Shane reck looked very rusty understandably so after his various injuries and badly needs games. Carlow I.T must be sick after the way the game was lost… a monster point from the sideline at the end of normal time and a 40 m free straight to the net at the death. Wonder what effect losing the club final will have on the ballyhale contingent. Some will probably manage the disappointment better than others. Doubt we'll ever see eoin Cody as poor again

Cody was so poor, id nearly have taken him off, he only got possession a handful of times too. Had a great chance in normal time to kill the game off.

Thought Higgins points had won the game ... the first was a thing of beauty and the second he delivered a pressure score to put ITC ahead by two. Class.
Hard luck ITC.

Tough on UL to play tomorrow, after playing extra time last night in a deluge.

It will. And UL probably will be missing Rodgers too. Thought Clares O'Mara was excellent for UL.

Think O'Meara is a Tipp Man, Cian Galvin beside him in the half back line is from Clare alright.

Apart from the club final been so close I wonder was fatigue (both physical and mental) a factor, he's 21 or 22 and already played in 4 kilkenny finals, 3 leinster finals and 3 all irelands finals with Ballyhale, add in been a starter with Kilkenny the last 2 years making all Ireland semi final and winning leinster both years.

Is there any update on Rodgers? He looked in a bad way going off.

Fatigue? Or maybe the fact was on the beer for three days after playing the All Ireland?

We know that but he didn't overly impress in club final either, a few friends from Kilkenny reckon Mullan's form wasn't great in the last 6 months so just got me thinking.

The intercounty lads would've still been training with the county team at times over the last couple months. Maybe they were just tired.

He is coming back from a cruciate injury maybe confidence is down.
