Wexford Hurling 2025

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


This board is a microcosm of Wexford GAA. So much talk about the past.
What happened, what should have happened, ifs buts and maybes.
We need to forget about 1996 because its almost 30 years ago and many of us were not born or in nappies. Even the Wexford podcast intro is the sort of podcast intro that would be created on a podcast in 1997 if they were such a thing. Talking about long balls to Billy Byrne.
We need to focus on now and ask ourselves tougher questions. Like, was there a proper analysis of the shambles of the U20 team last year? Is the work in our schools good enough? B and C grade hurling in schools exposes more players to weaker hurling and no more. We need more teams exposed to top hurling.
A club championship with no jeopardy for 5 matches is a waste of time. Happy clappy championship, give everyone a medal.
Wexford support wants to be loved but being loved is akin to being the gallant losers. We should want to be nobody's friend. The best teams nobody likes.
The hurling league is done and maybe Keith has all eyes on April and is getting everyone game time. I put no stock on a challenge match in Feb because the matches that matter are all ahead. Maybe he knows as much and wants them peaking for April, Tipp make the February mistake every year.
Judge the team on the year but from a long distance there is a lot of worrying signs.
