Replying To StoreysTash:  "I think Canuck it might be time to note the title of the thread and move your whinging over to the Waterford page.
FWIW, I don't think there is anybody in Wexford who hates Waterford. In fact, I would say that once Wexford are beaten most people shout for Waterford.
But anyway, the Waterford red card is NOT a "2022 Wexford Intercounty Hurling" matter."
That is true about the vast majority of Wexford if not all except the one or two on here with regards Ballygunner and Waterford. I do read your page because of interest in Wexford hurling but I guess I could stop that also. Not whinging just stating a genuine mistake was made. Good luck to you on Sunday and hopefully you win the league if you beat us. If any Waterford players pull a dirty stroke on Sunday I will call it out like always.

FFS that's bad luck. At least he will be back to help keep you senior if we dont make the last 4 in the AI series.

Rory will be marked very tightly on Sunday. Cahill will no doubt have done his homework and i think he will drop somebody back in front of him so as to cut off the supply chain. This action will probably reduce his effectiveness. This could open the door for Mac and the other forwards to create openings in their defence. However Rory tends to wander a good bit so they will have a job trying to shackle him. The matchups will be interesting. The confidence will be sky high right now but its vital we play with intensity and reduce our wides count. I believe we can win by 3 points.

Replying To Afinestick:  "Right lads league semi final on Sunday . At this stage of the competition I think we should go all out to reach a league final. We need a good performance at the very least to leave us with good momentum going into championship . What team do we expect to start?
I expect nearly full strength . We are just over 3 weeks from championship now is the time we need to find out what our best team is . For Sunday I would go with
Fanning
Donohoe
Jippo
Hanlon
Foley
Reck
Flood
Kevin Foley
Dee
Liam Og
Oisin Foley
Jack O Connor
Rory
Mac
Mikie Dwyer

That leaves us with plenty of options off the bench we have Chin who hopefully will be ready for action this week, Dunbar, Devitt, Morris, McGuckian ,Pepper

All of these are well capable of making big impacts .
Hopefully on Sunday evening we will be looking forward to our first league final since 1993."
I would go for

Fanning
Donohue Ryan Hanlon
D Reck P Foley Flood
Dee K Foley
O Foley Chin Jack O
Liam Og Mac Rory

Just away from hurling congratulations to Rathnure man Charlie Tector on been part of the Ireland u20 grand slam winning team, only found out in the last couple of days he was in the minor hurling panel in 2018, would have been underage for the panel in 2019 that won Leinster but fully focused on Rugby by that point.

Canuck you took the bait.
Deciding if it was a red or not for everyone on here was not the colour of the Jersey and I don't see whay you are saying as whinging or as an excuse for the defeat. Its your view which most believe is wrong - he will get his punishment and learn from it. So now onto this coming Sunday.

We will be waiting for you to call that out so Monday morning.

Good team too Yellow . Does anyone know what the likely of Chin starting this weekend is or how he is moving in training? Shane Reck is a big loss he'll be out until the All Ireland Series at least if it's 3 months . Really need Donohoe and Devitt to perform over the coming weeks once called upon.

Going to face a massive challenge on Sunday. I'd expect Waterford to have their strongest team out so far this year. Should be great preparation for Galway as Waterford are a big physical team like the westerners. I'd be surprised to see chin start when he hasn't had any game time in the league but would expect to see him come on at some stage. Waterford might just have too much for us on Sunday . I think potentially they're the most likely team to stop Limerick from doing 3 in a row

Strongest Wexford squad iv ever seen. And the style of hurling is suiting you guys. It's a huge improvement on last year. I dont see your squad being as talented as Waterfords. They've minor and under 20 All Ireland winners and the likes of Gleeson and Hutchinson are top top class. But I see great improvement and maybe the class is there. I just thought that Wexford didn't have the class of the top 4 teams . Now I'm not certain on that anymore. The one thing I ll say and it's not to dampen down expectations is when the ground hardens can ye keep improving. And for Wexford to have no All Ireland underage success in so long well that would buck the trend too. Even your Leinster championship winning under 21 teams were well beaten in the All Ireland series. Sunday we will know for sure where Wexford are. I certainly see it as both teams going all out for the win. Nowlan Park is abit mucky looking.

Heard reliably that Shane Reck will be available for Championship and that Chin will start Sunday, he is back moving 100%.

Replying To Canuck:  "O' hear you go again Waterford hater. The easiest thing to say to you is yes it is always Waterford players getting sent off. No one else has ever or is ever sent off. Right ?"
No others have been sent off. Just seems to be a lot of Waterford reds down the years. Never surprised when it happens. It's cost ye big time down the years. But anyway, learn from mistakes and all that.

That is great news if true . Shane Reck is a starter in my opinion if fully fit . Find it hard to understand why Chin wasn't given minutes on Sunday if he is ready to start this week but in Egan we trust

I think Wexford are a much improved team,they are playing lovely hurling and are really working well as a team,I honestly think Wexford could win Leinster.

That's better news about Reck than what I heard myself, so that's good. I believe it's a bad tear in the hamstring. Thought myself that they often take three to four months to recover from, but I'm not a medical expert, and Dr. Google tells me just now that it's typically four to six weeks, so he should be in contention sometime around Championship time all right.

We really need to hit the ground running in the championship. A league final would really bring us on more than 2 weeks of training which we would have otherwise.
If we don't beat Galway and Dublin, I can't see us getting enough from the Kilkenny match to make a Leinster final and there is always a chance of a shock away to Laois, even though on all known form we should take them too.
I hope we go all guns blazing on Sunday, and at very least are there in the last 10 minutes. The way we are hurling I think we have every chance and it is good to see some guaranteed starters under Davy coming under some pressure for their starting positions.

Kilkenny are looking good too. And the Dubs will be back to top form after recharging their batteries they used alot of the same players all through the league. Galway wont be bad either. Very hard to call the top 3 and any of the 4 could win Leinster this year.

Having a quite chuckle to myself seeing this, as I'm sure is mooncat himself. Cody has unearthed a few extra gems during the league. And that's all that man needs.
