Hard luck to Castletown. To be in it at halftime was a tremendous achievement! Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 17552 - 16/11/2025 19:09:06 2644827 Link 0 |

Made a bit of a mockery of the competition, they should have just pulled out but then would have been fined or something like that.

I hope it was a player decision and not a management club decision . Formertownie (Wexford) - Posts: 495 - 17/11/2025 10:10:43 2644948 Link 0 |

Wondered about that myself, and yes, there's probably a fine if you give a walkover. Then again, that fine mightn't be any more than what it'd take to cover the expense and time of travelling to Westmeath and back in the first place. Wonder might it be the case that if a club gives a walkover, it's suspended from all provincial competition for a while, and that the Martin's therefore wouldn't have been able to continue in the hurling? I don't know - have never seen the competition regulations for the provincial club championships myself. Pikeman96 (Wexford) - Posts: 3235 - 17/11/2025 10:41:11 2644959 Link 0 |

Either way it makes a mockery of football in the county . I really do hope it does nt cause.any animosity within the panel. They ll need to be all willing to fight for each other not against one another . Time will tell if it was a good or bad decision to REST the hurlers Formertownie (Wexford) - Posts: 495 - 17/11/2025 13:06:51 2645017 Link 0 |

Not sure resting the hurlers is the right way to put it. Well over half the 2 panels are made up of the same players.

Agree. Look its an exception that perhaps won't happen again but perhaps if it did than there needs to be a rule that forces a club to elect prior to the county finals that forces the club to select the one they would go forward in if the won both and in which case the losing county finalists could take their place. Its not ideal either but its perhaps better than what we got this weekend. As I said unlikely to be used.

How else would you describe it . Have heard since the players made the decision. Played the game on astro which I was told was well past its best and hurlers were glad to have made the decision . As couple of players picked up injuries on same . Still sad to see but could u imagine the uproar if castletown won intermediate hurling but decided to put all their efforts into the football and only put out shadow team in the hurling especially if they felt they had a chance of success in the football .

Don't think there'd be any more or less uproar tbh. Up to any club and their players to do what they see fit.

I agree, I don't think anyone, although you always get someone complaining about it, would be upset. My point is that it was predictable and should not have happened, there needs to be a way to prevent it in the future if it happens again no matter if its Hurling or Football.
