Replying To Freethinker:  "I enjoy following both Wex and Car pages as it seems to me that we all have similar problems and gripes with football coaching etc - football only, let me add, as both your counties are way out in front of ours in hurling. I read that post re the upcoming Wex / Car game and I took it as a bit of tongue in cheek, as did you, I think."
Tbh I'm taking nothing for granted going into the Park tonight. Games between ourselves and our 2 neighbours have often took on lives of their own, and even in minor and u20 we are usually close enough matched.
As regards the hurling our Senior hurlers lost a challenge game against Carlow last night.

You didn't need to have any concerns Viking, apart from 15 minutes early in 2nd half.
The lads worked some good scores, even if I couldn't actually see who finished a couple of them!!

Carlow discipline was v poor, they conceeded a few 50metre dissent penalties, picked up a needless & silly red card, and probably should have had another for a "clothes-line" tackle earlier in 2nd half.

On a miserable night, it was good to see the lads keeping their heads, never panicking, and closing out another win that keeps the promotion dream very much alive.

Solid display from the lads last night, foundations for the win done in the first 10/15 mins really.

Wasn't an easy night for football but again we dominated in areas where we needed to and at the tines we needed to

It's been a great start to the league and we still have some very good players to come back, the return of Martin O Connor has been a huge plus along with Furlong.

I remember last year there been a real sense of injustice due to being absolutely robbed in Leitrim which cost us promotion but actually it may have been a bit of a help as we look a lot more solid this year and better prepared for promotion if we manage to get the job done.

what a bad night to try play football, but we got the result, thats all that matters, wicklow will be a step up id imagine, full back line was solid, one or 2 of our players out the field take way to long to move the ball on ,when the opposition gets better they will be stripped of the ball , good to see brooks back in goal , robbie never seemed to get into game, i could not see him clearly in 1st half, again lawless showed signs he has a future, is sean nolans injury serious?

are not moving the ball on fast enough, one player who handled the ball more than any other wexford player is 2 slow at times to move it on , he will be turned over as we face better teams, but with a couple of players to come back in things looking good

Very positive result on a shocking night for football. Hopefully the lads can keep it going next weekend! We weathered the storm after halftime, and the lads kept their heads and didn't panic.

Well done to Eoghan Nolan on a hundred appearances. Great achievement and a credit to him for staying committed when we were pretty much in the doldrums.

Sean Nolan has a hamstring injury. Not sure how serious, or even if he went for a scan. Furlong and O'Connor have really settled into the full back line this year. Not sure how long til Darragh Lyons will be back.
Heard a rumour that O'Connor is flying in and out the country for training and matches. If so that's amazing dedication.

Great win saturday night in awful conditions, another step closer to promotion, great to see others standing up and getting big scores especially with Sean Nolan injured hopefully he is back for next sunday as this is the biggest game of year now, a win and promotion is so close to being secured, wicklow will be very tough

Another great win on Saturday, brilliant to see and we will have a much stronger panel with a couple of lads to come back in. Seems like the new Wexford championship structure has helped the footballers, seem to be very sharp and fit, maybe due to playing football for a longer period of time last year rather than just in blocks of a few weeks.

This team look like they mean busines.
Can they keep it up for the remainder of the league?
Furlong and O'Connor have solidifyed our defence.
In the recent past we were shaky in the corners, resulting in conceeding soft goals.
Wicklow, Waterford, Tipperary and Longford still to come so its vital that we get more points on the board from here on in. 10 points might be enough to get us out of the bargain basement division.
However it would be brilliant if we went into our last game against Longford knowing that we were allready promoted.
The team has a very settled look about it and there is a winning mentality about them.
If Sean Nolan returns from injury it will increase our scoring potential and will increase our prospects of playing division 3 next year.

Nearly all those lads played club championship hurling also.

He came back for Gusserane towards the end of the club championship season. Not sure if he's committed to the intercounty panel this year at all.

Most of them would have played hurling aswell, don't know how that helped there football, if anything they got less of a break at the end of the year

I know, fair play to the HAC for keeping the footballers fit and sharp.
