Apologies viking, I didn't mean to sound negative, I was just correcting the poster who said that a win would leave us safe from relegation.

A fine performance against Sligo in awful conditions. Controlled the game really well against the wind

Well done to the lads, Sligos goal at then end put a gloss on the scoreline for them. We were better all over the pitch, and a 9 point win wouldn't have flattered the lads.
Was good to see us finish with such a strong team on the pitch for the last 20 minutes. Hegarty is really building a strong panel.
All in all that should be the original job done now, think we will stay up. Now we have a chance to push for promotion.
The only negative for me was how few of us were there to see it.

Its in our own hands, 2 wins and we definitely go up. 1 win and we might go up. Our score difference is good. 2 very tough games, but both are winnable.

Was a good win, probably deserved to win by more based on our performance.
The only disappointment was our pathetic support in there, the lads deserve better for the work they are putting in and the Football they are playing. If the Head of Football Development hadn't arranged some kids games for half time there'd of been even less people in there.

Well said Viking, these lads really do deserve better support. They are a very committed and " together" group of young men playing a nice brand of football.
Always in control today and some of their against the wind were really good, patient scores.

Very good win today. Almost in total control of the game throughout.
We are now back on track and it's in our own hands now to play for promotion.
It can be achieved. We have good footballers.
They play with speed and intelligence and they have a winning mentality.
It would be fantastic if we get the win in the next two games. Tough but certainly possible.
We may not get too many travelling to Ennis in two weeks time but it would be massive for the team if we turned out in force at home to Westmeath.

Congratulations to Niall Hughes on reaching 100 appearances for the county. Shows how consistent and good he has been that he has reached that milestone so long before his 30th birthday. "The best ability is availability" personified.

Very comfortable win against a really poor Sligo team. All in their own hands now which is great, will need a result in Ennis. Nolan and Coleman controlled game very well in middle third, there is good strength in depth now, roll on Ennis.

To be honest ive been to all home games football and hurling along with the trip to croker and it almost feels like the interest is totally gone from Wexford GAA

Its sad when you consider how many lads around the county would tell you how passionate they are, and Wexford people in general, are about the games, and then so many of them don't even bother going themselves.
The Footballers have a chance of going up to div2, and the hurlers have a chance of going up to 1a, now is exactly the time you would think anyone who had even a small interest would be going to the games.
And the players and managements need and deserve our support more than ever right now.

Said it on another thread, Wexford GAA TV used to be super for interviews and snippets about everything from local championships to the development of Ferns and the Park. I remember a video about when the floodlights were going up and another one about seats being installed. There was also interviews with team managers.. Dublin do it off a phone with their managers.. a few years ago there were free tickets sent into schools as my nephew got one.. For some reason that has all stopped.. Even cairde Loch garman has stopped sending out the regular ezines..All small things but they all matter.

Couldn't agree more . Wexford Gaa do very little to promote hurling and football particularly to younger people . Surely with the amount of people involved now somebody could do a weekly interview with different players and members of the management team , behind the scenes at training , build up to our next game I.e generate a bit of interest. All young people are on tick-tock and Instagram now we should be trying our best to promote our games to get the young Wexford people interested in going to games.

IF we can get a win in clare what a day our game v westmeath will be of the lads!!!! they would learn so much, for this young team im not sure they are ready for div 2 yet, another year in div 3 would be best in my opinion, in 2 life will be to tough for us yet
