The management is: Liam Roche (Geraldine O'Hanrahans)
Mickory Stafford (Davidstown-Courtnacuddy)
Pat Boggan (Askamore)
Eamonn Scallan (Ferns)
Trainer: Tom Mulaly (Glenmore)
I see all the management team have been picked from the hurling strongholds in the county.

262660 The management is: Liam Roche (Geraldine O'Hanrahans)
Mickory Stafford (Davidstown-Courtnacuddy)
Pat Boggan (Askamore)
Eamonn Scallan (Ferns)
Trainer: Tom Mulaly (Glenmore)

These are the selectors, but co board are still looking for a manager.
Not many takers at this stage. It would have made more sense to get a manager & let him source his own selectors.

Ricky... what about Brendan Doyle from Glynn Barntown. He's surely worth his place on that team

Re: Molly96

Just because the selectors aren't from Oulart or Rathnure doesn't mean they don't know anything. Both Askamore and Ferns have outstanding coaching structures in place at underage level and Eamonn Scallan is an all ireland winner. Mickory Stafford is a very good and experienced coach at all levels. I think it is a good idea to break up the dominance of the bigger clubs as maybe these guys will spot some rough diamonds in the lower grades and improve them. For example our own Colm Kavanagh would be worth a look and with a bit of hurling at a higher level would stop a lot of forwards. So Molly96 think before writing stupid comments like that please.

Ricky don't know where you've got some of them ideas. James Grannel isn't even on the ballymurn Junior team. David Murphy might deserve a chance though.
Other players you forgot:
Mick Walsh (ferns) is dead cert in goal
Colin Leacy (ferns) will be corner back
Eoin Moore (oulart) will be on
Lee Murphy (harriers) Wing forward
Other lads to keep in mind:
Keith Burke (B/Alley)
James Foley (B/Alley)
Ricky Fox (Rapps)
Shane Tompkins (Askamore)
Paudie Kelly (Martins)
Brendan Doyle (Glynn)
Be surprised if most of them are not on panel. Anyone else some more players to mind?

RE: KilanerinFOOTY!
Askamore have had Oulart men trainig for last years Christy Jacob and now Willie Sunderland. So seems to me the weeker club seeks advice from the stronger. Why not at county level too Liam Dunne did a fantastic job with minors last year and as for the Kavanagh fella he'll get his trial like everyone else, its up to him then.

wats is the crack with the u21 hurling, kilkenny tipp and cork have been back for the last two months or so and this time last year in wexford there was probably around a months trials and a months training gone on. Are we looking to go backwards or are wexford slowly wanting to get rid of this grade?

Molly 96 der u are preaching about selectors wen all de players u suggested bar one are with senior clubs. Im just trying to ensure lads from de 'smaller' clubs get a look in. Take Nick Newport for example, a classy corner back whose been overlooked by county selectors throughout the years because he's not from a high profile club. Ders lots of talented hurlers around the county who arent getting a look in.

Hey ricky id agree nico newport is sum corner back....... heard he is some savage footballer as well couple of goals a game he was bangin in for some team in ucd......... another player u left out ricky who has been a stalwart in the backline for years now for St Martins is Dave berney..... only 20 dis lad aswell

Not sure about Farrell in the goal. He is only sub goalie for Barntown Seniors. Would command da square but his puck out has let him down in the past

Royalgooner, dave berney cudnt even make de Martins senior hurling team last year, he's not good enuf for county u21 in my opinion.

I was impressed by some of the youngsters the martins had out last year; Paudie Kelly, James Boggan and Rory Wilson.

Are there any possible candidates from Rathnure?? I dont think its a coincidence that decline of Rathnure at underage has corresponded with the decline in Wexford Hurling.

Also on the note of selectors; Mickory Stafford done a fine job with the Wexford intermediate time a few years ago and should be a more than capable selector.
