Replying To Pulllowpullhigh2: "Time for management to start looking outside their own clubs
5 x Clarinbridge
5 x Turloughmore
1 x Meelick Eyrecourt
1 x Padraig Peares
That's a total of 12 players directly related to the management team, plenty more players out there to be looking at" Aaah we're back. easy know the winter is in when this starts up. why don't you tell us which of those players shouldn't be on the panel?
Of the Bridge players, I presume you're not talking about Ryan, Lee or Niland. Evan Niland saw a lot more action under previous managements and TJ Brennan has been in since Shane O'Neills time so no bias there.
Trayers and Daithi are mainstays, Dan Loftus again one of the best corner backs in the club championship this year. Sean Linnane has been around for donkeys years and imo has probably seen his best days with Galway pass, but 50/50 call if he's worth a spot. Cillian Whelan is 22 and I'd have him on the panel, you might disagree but hardly egregious.
Meelick eyrecourt is Fleming, well worth a place and close to being a starter.
Don't think there was any Pearases player on the panel last year. Jonah Donnelan called in maybe? What's the issue there?

Replying To TheSkyNavy: "I think it should only be the manager, coaches and players, that were involved and training all of last year that are entitled to go on the team holiday. No one else.
It is a reward for those people and nobody else. Feel free to disagree" I agree completely with this. While I do appreciate partners make a lot of sacrifices as well in the sense of planning around the football, it's something they choose to sign up for. I don't think it should entitle them to a free holiday and essentially doubling the cost of the trip.

Wins listed by county
# County Connacht Titles Runners-up Last provincial winners
1 Galway clubs 21 14 Moycullen, 2022

3 Mayo clubs 16 17 Castlebar Mitchels, 2015
4 Sligo clubs 4 7 Coolera/Strandhill, 2024
5 Leitrim clubs 0 8
Pretty even spread amongst the top 3. You would expect Mayo to be out performing Roscommon given its size.

Wexford Hurling Thread - 1 Like(s)
Replying To ElGranSenor: "Caught the Enniscorthy CBS-Peter's game there on Clubber, had it on mute so couldn't catch any of the names, CBS has Matt Butler in goal, Alfie Sludds-Murphy at centre-back, Brian Ivers, Jamie Downey (Centre-forward in the first half, looked like midfield in the second), and Rhys Wickham (Full-forward in the first half, centre-forward in the second from what I saw), Peter's has Oisín Caulfield at wing-forward, didn't really recognise any of the other names from a county set-up perspective
Ended in a draw and conditions looked to be circuit enough, thought there was a good intensity to the game in the first quarter, died off a little then until the very end where it picked up again, thought some of the general play working the ball up the pitch was decent enough but some of the shooting from both sides in the first half was very poor
Both teams looked to run the ball a good bit, CBS in particular were very good when ever they tried to run it, Peter's seemed bigger and stronger though and they seemed to win nearly every breaking ball, their forwards were a lot better than the CBS forwards at winning their own ball IMO
Wickham was quiet enough IMO, Downey was probably their best hurler at breaking through tackles and winning dirty ball, he's smaller than I thought height-wise although he's very powerful
Peter's had a lot of height and their S&C looked good, think they had a lad called Alfie Whelan in at full-forward wearing a white Cooper, don't think he scored that much but he was a general nuisance, big guy and was a handful for CBS
Don't know his name but Peter's #7 in a black Cooper looked good to me, tall enough and very athletic looking, looks like he has a lot of S&C work done
Draw probably fair enough on balance, two sides get out of the group and go to the QFs, one of those will almost certainly be Mullingar CBS who are after giving the hiding of all hidings to Coláiste Eoin (5-33 to 0-05), others might have been impacted by lads playing in Dublin county finals but that's very, very poor considering they're the only Dublin school in Senior A, Dublin South gave our combined colleges a walkover too
Mullingar CBS could be genuine contenders, Mullingar isn't a hurling town but a lot of the WM hurling clubs are very close to Mullingar, WM minors were very strong this year" That was Rory Durack From Barntown full forward county minor this year, 7 is Bryan Kennedy from Rathangan county minor this year and still only u16
