Not necessarily. Don't forget the League divisions for next year are a new format, so any existing home/away arrangements are out the window, and new ones will take effect. Haven't seen the draft fixtures myself, but wouldn't be surprised if we're home to Galway, or away to Tipperary, or both.

Not sure. But it's a long time since we played Tipp in the Park.

Played them in Thurles in 2018, and in Wexford Park in 2019. Haven't met them in the League since then.

Yep. 6 years ago by next season. A long time. And we didn't play them for a good few years in the Park prior to 2019 either. Definitely the Liam McCarthy county we have played least in the Park for a considerable time.

It's almost crazy how little we've played them in the League:
- Those couple of meetings in 2019 (Wexford Park) and 2018 (Thurles)
- A League semi-final in Nowlan Park in 2017
- Prior to that, an ordinary League match in Thurles in 2011
- Before that, a League meeting in Thurles in 2005
- And all the way back to 2004 for the next most recent time we played them in Wexford Park.

That's what I was thinking. At least we can say we have a 100% winning record against them in the Park over the last 20 years:-)

Bit like how I sometimes say the statistics show that Wexford are the most successful hurling county over the past 30 years in terms of All-Ireland Finals.

We're the only with a 100% success rate in that time.

Our first game is home to Cork. We have 3 home and 3 away.

Well lads the teams be back at it soon hearing a lot of rumours going around the usual stuff but had heard chin and Rory supposingly going to Australia in which I believe but only for a holiday. also heard McGovern is retiring.. o hanlon going travelling and d o keefe also supposed to be retiring.. also head Liam Ryan is going to play rugby which is surely bull.. any players stand out during club championship that would be worth a shot next year I think Jack Redmond and Rory Higgins could be worth a look at as think they would be a better option than Jack doran and mikie Dwyer..

I've also heard about Matt, Mogie and Dee but that's all in terms of departures.

I'm very interested to see the goalkeeper situation.

Chin is in oz at the minute but will be back. I've heard Matt is gone. Dee I heard is giving it one last year and Liam og will go. Can't see Rory going with martins in championship still

He went this time last year too. He told a couple lads I know that he'd be back around the end of the League, same as this year. Maybe he's changed his mind since. I hope not, he has a lot to offer and we aren't blessed with big men at the minute.

Fanning had a decent year last year I thought. Is he finishing up? All lads above have given years of solid service but think it's time to be moving on. Dee hardly got a sniff of action last year and has struggled with injuries, McGovern was miles off the pace in the games that mattered, Hanlon still good enough for sure but good luck to him if he's taking time out. The NHL won't be long coming around, hope springs eternal and all that!
