Are the injuries long or short term in the U20s? Should they be available for the next day? (if we make it to next round) Yellow (Wexford) - Posts: 589 - 07/04/2022 14:28:07 2410152 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Is your lad involved again this year?" Yes he is but carrying a slight knock. Hopes to be ok. Exams also looming not easy on the chaps but same every year. 96andproud (Wexford) - Posts: 34 - 07/04/2022 14:32:06 2410153 Link
Replying To wexico15: "Who would you think for the FB line with Kyle Scallan and Dylan Whelan out? We seem well stocked in the HB line." AJ Redmond hurled corner back with Carlow I.T and did well there. He's also been hurling in the backs with rathnure. Move David codd to right half back and Conor foley to right half forward. There's good strength in depth in the u20 panel this year with hopefully some of the injured players available for selection if we win on Saturday HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 554 - 07/04/2022 14:39:32 2410156 Link

And DJ Carey is no mug as a manager. Saw also he doesnt go by AJ at college either!!! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16680 - 07/04/2022 16:50:23 2410182 Link

Replying To Viking66: "If our lads are bigger than yours it will be the 1st time in years we were bigger than our opponents underage!!!!!" Wouldn't that be a nice change ! That team on paper looks good but the forwards are very small, why is it a Wexford thing that we always seem to be smaller than everyone else! Size isnt the be all and end all but when your under pressure it comes down to winning primary possession and thats one thing I think this team might struggle on.

Replying To Yellow: "Best years of their life more like" It surely was the best time in my life in my case! But it wouldve been tough to mix in intercounty sport with everything I was up to back then! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16680 - 08/04/2022 09:49:24 2410215 Link
Team named for the u20s. Nice to see a couple of Rathnure men and a couple of Alley men in the 26. And good to see AJ starting cornerback. Good luck 2moro lads! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16680 - 08/04/2022 18:38:30 2410303 Link

Good luck to the minors in Bellefield also. Apparently there is live commentary on CRKC 88.7 FM Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 16680 - 09/04/2022 11:17:48 2410345 Link
Good luck to minors and u20s, good to see a whole host of clubs represented. 2 wins would lift the spirits after the league final. Re training day before the league final? I don't believe it for a minute. There is no reason why any team would train before a league semi final. Maybe they had a puck around. If they did, I would be very disappointed in Darragh Egan and his team. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1908 - 09/04/2022 12:15:48 2410353 Link
Replying To Viking66: "Often wondered that myself. And a steeper slope for the seats. Think that side was terracing with bench seats put on it." Much warmer that side when the sun shines, the stand is like a wind tunnel WEX98 (Wexford) - Posts: 546 - 09/04/2022 13:50:02 2410364 Link
Any radio coverage for the under 20 lads. Sounds like a good game in bellfield . Hopefully the minors can keep it going Afinestick (Wexford) - Posts: 999 - 09/04/2022 14:34:07 2410369 Link
Hard luck to the minors, put I. A good performance from all accounts I heard. Just couldn't build from the great start we hard. Could they beat Kilkenny in a Leinster final should we end up there? Finchfurlong996 (Wexford) - Posts: 255 - 09/04/2022 15:30:45 2410376 Link
Wexford minors were good today Kilkenny minors were far more skilful and level headed and clinical and cool under pressure. Our first touch and ability to win primary possession needs to be worked on over and over again in training We ran into traffic a lot and took the wrong option after winning possession and turned it over. This is an epidemic in the Wexford game. We panic under pressure and let the ball off too quickly and lose it - and also we can't apply pressure without giving away a free. The referee was awful and Mick Jacob was sent off for protesting. However we need cool heads on the line and the pitch moving forward and hopefully we will get another crack at them in the final.

Could they beat Kilkenny in a Leinster final should we end up there?" Don't think so we got the perfect start today but Kilkenny improved as the game went on and we had the advantage of the Dublin game under our belt but then again I could be wrong.

Replying To Yellow: "10 Point win for U20s" Good win for ye, 13 of our players are eligible for u20 for the next 2 years so we were relatively happy with some of the performance. Having no free taker or a decent keeper our main issues. Best of luck going forward. Dheen (Westmeath) - Posts: 1043 - 09/04/2022 19:37:59 2410405 Link
Replying To Yellow: "10 Point win for U20s" I'd imagine players and management will be glad to get the game out of the way after what happened last year. Hopefully all or most of the 5 injured players might be available for the Laois game in a fortnight's time although from following the game on Twitter Corey Byrne Dunbar did come on as a second half sub HurlingBuzz (Wexford) - Posts: 554 - 09/04/2022 20:44:51 2410412 Link
