Replying To WexMurph:  "That was a quarter final Gorey were well beaten by Martins in the semi final. Derek Mcgraths won a title with Doon two years ago if I'm not mistaken."
He did. Their 1st Senior title ever. Got them back to the final last year.

Replying To countyman2022:  "''Our set up last year was no better than a Club set up. David Franks from a Coaching position is hard to replace.He was as good a Hurling coach I have ever seen. Ain't easy to replace.''

''anyone watching Wexford closely last year would've picked up all the wrong signals. Basically we weren't coached properly,''

So basically we had a bad set up yet a great coach yet then were not coached properly?"
I think he means 2025 after Franks had left

From a small sample size granted, but saw some young lads hurling club last night that could be forged into useful additions to the county set-up under McGrath. Niall Furlong for the Alley, Liam Kenny and Doran Daly O'Toole for Mellows. Kenny in particular has the bit of size we're crying out for in defence.

Niall Furlong and Doran Daly O'toole are both good hurlers. Haven't seen Kenny play yet.

One of the great All Ireland wins yesterday. Never seen anything like the outpouring of emotion. Made me think how would I feel if we did it . As someone who was just a small child in 96 I'd say I would be extremely emotiononal if we got over the line. I hope to see it at least once in my lifetime. Mayo showed yesterday what can be done when you work your socks off and believe you can do it . It's very hard to see us winning one any time soon but I really hope Derek and his management team get a spark out of us and get us back competing with the best
