Replying To Viking66:  "Oulart school do very little. Not sure about the others.
Kilkenny teams in general arent neccessarily that strong at all agegroups at underage. We went up there for an u14 tournament last year, and ourselves and Craanford ended up in the final. Div 3 and div 4 Wexford u14 teams. We both beat Kilkenny div2 teams on the way to the final."
As I said last week, even when KK were very good, their success was mainly driven by 5-6 clubs and then another 5-6 clubs played a supporting role

Replying To Viking66:  "ASH is already open to all, and there have been on average a good few more than 200 boys doing it each year."
What are the age groups involved?

I see Cork beat Kilkenny by 2-25 to 1-16 in the Minor QF

Wonder how much of that was because Cork were better than last week and how much was because KK were much worse than they were in Leinster?

Larry Murphy seemed disappointed with the Minor results, said they were aiming to win Leinster and make an AISF

Replying To ElGranSenor:  "My apologies, must've been some other Wexford clubs who struggled"
From what I've observed at that age group the last two years across the county is that Martin's and rathnure are very good. Everyone else seems to have 2/3 really good lads, a handful of average lads and then a couple who struggle.

We'd have some very strong players but we already know half our group will be gone by under 14 I'd say and we'll be lucky if one of them plays senior for the club.

ASH is just for U12s.

And for actual U12s - i.e. lads who'll be moving up to U14 the following year. Not for 1st year U12s (i.e. U11s in the year itself), who'd still be U12 the following year.
