Wexford Club Hurling 2026

Replying To zinny:  "I would agree it is harder to win both in the one year in the current format. The Anne's were the last to do it. But that said there was only a puck or a kick of a ball from the same two teams being in the final of both. The reality is Wexford has always been a dual code for 85% perhaps of the players and all of them want to keep it that way. Its the clubs job to provide pathways for their players by being a dual code it ensures more options are open. With the shels it has allowed players to focus at county level on one code and then come back to mix that experience with the other code at club level, that is a massive benefit."
And there's no mercy for being a proper dual county. The teams winning all Irelands aren't trying to do what we are and that's the reality.

Tbf, I do get that argument but I think it would be a lot stronger argument if we did a lot more GAA throughout the year in this county at club and school level and also in terms of lads just pucking the ball around

Like Good Counsel are probably closer to 50/50 than either Peter's or Enniscorthy CBS but they probably do as much hurling as either of them because they just do more GAA in general

Someone like Seán O'Brien has probably done a good bit of football with Counsel and Cushinstown but the big difference with him is what he does outside of training sessions and matches, he probably has the hurl in his hand 365 days of the year

If we get to the point where we have loads of lads in the county like him in terms of the hurling they do outside of training sessions and matches but the results for the county aren't significantly improving, then we can say being a dual county is a big issue

But I don't think we can blame our current situation on being a dual county
