I don't imagine that David Power has any idea of what the underling football talent pool is.

With most club action over apart from the senior semifinal and the u21 championship.

Its the only opportunity he will have.

also some of the players he will see in club fare will not be available to him as they are hurling focused.

The Letheram · 02-11-2014 2:32pm

I would imagine that he is going to rely on his selectors. I don't know who they are but I hear the names of one or two fairly recent ex players mentioned and in fairness they would be in the know. I have seen these type of trials done under Jason Ryan, Pat Roe and Paul Bealin and little to no players coming through them. In an ideal world they would throw up unheralded talent but it is extremely unlikely. He will probably start training with up to 45 players so the chances of anybody outside that number being good enough is slim.

Transfer Gossip in Wexford

Andrew Shore (former Davidstown player) recently transferred to a club in the British midlands and is said to be joining the Rapparees in the new year.

David Dunne of Davidstown looking to transfer to Rapparees

James White of Oylegate also speculated to heading the Rapps way

Shore was with Parnells in Dublin for the last couple of years wasnt he? A shame for Davidstown that they are losing players like this. Its not the first time, and it seems it wont be the last. I think their catchement area is probably too close to the town in that it can be seen to overlap, and they are losing out big time.

I think St Annes will win the semi final sunday. Shels will be wrecked after all the hurling the past 3 weeks (and the couple of pints in between games) and cant have done much football. Annes will have revenge on their minds too, and I'd expect them, to use an oft used cliche, want it more.

Minor final should be good. Unbeaten Fethard against Glynn. Same match up as U16, when Fethard were also unbeaten going into the final but Glynn completely outplayed them and won easily enough.

The Letheram · 07-11-2014 9:36pm

Shore and Dunne heading to the Rapps is no shock with the state davidstown are in. Relegated again in the hurling. These lads were a very proud and respected intermediate team about 13 or 14 years ago and have been in slow and steady decline since.

James White is a puzzler to me though. Oylegate have a serious chance in intermediate any given year. They have two outstanding forwards and a solid unit all over the field. They were beaten by one point in a cracker of a quarter final this year by Craanford who drew with the duffry in a semi and duffry then drew the final. Unless this guy wants to give senior football a crack with starlights, something he would never get the chance to do with Oylegate. Serious blow for Oylegate if true though.

Royal Legend · 15-11-2014 12:33pm

Is the pitch in Wexford Park still playable for the matches tomorrow with all the rain that has fallen in the last few days?

The Slobs · 15-11-2014 3:01pm

The Wexford Park pitch will not be a problem .

The Letheram · 15-11-2014 6:46pm

Wexford park is the opposite to your concerns almost. Too sandy. It is a very dead pitch.
How does everybody see the football final going? I have to say that I fancy Gusserane given that the Annes will be without Liam Og McGovern. This will be a very very tight affair though.

The Slobs · 20-11-2014 12:40am

St Annes won a tight co final as Gusseranes long wait for a title will extend to forty years next year. No one will begrudge the Annes men as their golden veterans supplemented by their younger players won another title.

U21 football is down to semi final stage this week end with Fethard V St Martins and Shelmaliers V Sarsfield

The expected final is Fethard V Shels although Martins who are seeking a U21 double and a battling sarsfields will not be giving up on an upset.

The poor record of Wexford clubs in Leinster competition continued as St James bowed out of Leinster Intermediate club football when well beaten by the meath reps . Inter county captain Graham Molloy did not play for the Jimmes and would have being a huge loss.

Wexford's last club in Leinster are Crossabeg Ballymurn in the junior hurling and will be up against it in the form of Bennetsbridge of Kilkenny who seek a return to the glory days of the their past. The overthewater men have overcome the loss of several players to long term injury to win the wexford title as well as the Junior football but the Kilkenny men will be hot favourites to continue their counties domination of this grade.

Tipperarys David Power the new football manager as put his selectors in place . St Martins Mick Walsh and Dublin native but unattached John Power. Matty Forde is to be the forwards coach.

The 2014 Inter Hurling are to be reappointed for 2015 Lets hope they might pick a few players under 30 next year.

The Slobs · 01-12-2014 2:32pm

In the premier U21 Football final Shelmaliers and Fethard played out an exciting draw

Shels grabbed a last minute draw deep into injury time having lead by seven points at one stage. A shamozzle caused a lapse in concentration and they were fortunate at the end to come back.

Crossabeg Ballymurn's never ending season continued when they won the Roinn 1 Wexford district final with a win over St Annes and will now play a fancied Gorey side in the semi-final with Ballyhogue already in the final.

Last weeks leinster Club game between Crossabeg and Bennetsbridge of Kilkenny showed up the gulf in standards in club hurling in the respective counties even if Crossabeg could site a long injury list.

I posted the following on another website:

Anyone in Gorey? Very enjoyable game for this time of the year, and only for a bit of "cuteness" (ie pulling the DIT player down before he gave the ball across for Brogan's goal) it would have represented a good day's work for the lads. The lengthy delay due to what looked like Cillian Butler dislocating his shoulder halted a brief moment of momentum Wexford had built up before then to trail by 0-10 to 0-8, but they really came good in the designated injury time to lead by 0-14 to 0-12, with Brosnan lofting over some ridiculous scores. I had timed six minutes of delay for that Butler injury, yet Brogan's goal came in the 78th minute, and there was further two minutes played after that. Ref must have forgotten his stop watch!

Paddy Byrne was our stand out performer all afternoon, and kicked four points, three of which from the Anthony Tohill playbook. Brosnan really stood up to the plate in the second half (near unrecognisable without the blonde hair), while Furlong was his usual tigerish self, and Breen made a welcome return with a solid display at full back. Of the new players, Declan Murphy showed up very well both as an attacking outlet (kicked three points from play), and in his tracking back. However, he was kind of forced into covering Rossiter's man, as while he was involved in a few Wexford attacks and kicked a point himself, he wasn't so keen at his defensive responsibilties. Jim White put in a decent shift in midfield and played an equisite ball to Declan Murphy in the first half which we were unlucky not to score from. Lyng had his quiestest outing in a long time and was taken off in the third quarter, and it wasn't Tubritt's day (off at half-time). O'Grady, Graham Carty and Holmes all had a positive influence up front when introduced, and O'Grady was unlucky not to find the net.

But it was the same old failings that has dogged Wexford over the last few years that cost them again today. Namely poor selection. Kicked a host of poor wides and converted ZERO out of five genuine scoring chances (and could have taken a point in a couple of them), and a few handling errors that lead to technical fouls which DIT converted. Couple of players still floating around that are there on repuation alone (Wadding and Tierney two anyway) but's that's for another day. It's too early to judge and today's line-up was of the experimental variety, but bearing in mind the transition in the squad, and the past pedigree of David Power, I'd be hopeful we'll exceed expectations in some capacity in the coming year.

Oh and come on back to the football Daithi. You and Paddy could be lethal in the middle together.

castletownman · 07-01-2015 11:13pm

First win for David Power but a mixed bag overall against Carlow IT in Enniscorthy tonight. Played with a strong wind blowing into the dressing room end net and raced 1-4 to no score ahead in the opening quarter, with last year's county minor dual player Niall Hughes (who impressed throughout) kicking two fine points, and another debutant Dermot Flood kicking 1-1. Had a lot of pace on the attack and when we pushed forward from the back, but our shooting once again let us down, while Brendan Murphy was like a magnet in the middle from Carlow IT, and must surely rank as one of the top midfielders in Leinster. Both Colm Kehoe and Graham Carty worked hard but couldn't compete with Murphy in the middle, and it took Paddy Byrne coming on in the second half for him to endure any hardship.

Started the second half quietly, before racing six ahead, but went back into our shells again as Carlow IT pegged back a couple of scores. Shane Roche pulled off a couple of excellent saves in the second half as Carlow IT rallied, and it was pleasing that Wexford kept their goal-line intact after their late concession of a goal the last day. James Breen played very well full back again, and his current form may move Graham Molloy out to centre-back which will sort out that problem area. Kevin Rowe was eager and won a sizeable chunk of the ball kicked into him, and both Kevin O'Connor and Dermot Flood showed good trickery and potential. Simon Donohue and Declan Murphy were both introduced in the second half and kicked 0-3 between them.

Overall, there is plenty of potential to work with there already, but they'll have to prolong their periods of dominance and be more clinical in their scoring chances (I've full faith that Matty's influence will come to bear in that regard eventually). It's a pity that DIT beat Wicklow, as a win for the Garden County would have set up an intriguing shoot-out with them on Sunday. Now it's a glorified practise match, but one David Power will be looking to win to build up a bit of momentum, and blood the young fellahs, ahead of what looks like a difficult start to the Division Three campaign.

The Slobs · 08-01-2015 12:40am

Good report on Football Thanks Castlletown.

Hurlers play Tipp in Cashel next Sunday

They had a workout last Sunday last against the U21's and were much to strong

castletownman · 13-01-2015 9:54pm

The quickest draw in administerial history was made tonight, and it brought up some interesting groups.

Senior football:
Group A: St.Anne's, Shelmaliers, Sarsfields, St.Fintan's, Fethard, Adamstown. Four Wexford district derbies, including a chance for Shels to avenge their semi final defeat to the Anne's, and Fethard avenge their under-21 final loss to Shels makes it a very intriguing group.

Group B: Gusserane, Castletown, St.Martin's, Horeswood, St.James, Starlights. Again it affords Castletown the chance for revenge on Gusserane, and Martin's on Castletown. Gusserane met Martin's and Starlights in last year's group stage, and Horewood played Castletown and the Intermediate champions in the group stage last year too.

Senior hurling:
Group A: St.Anne's, Rapparees, Glynn Barntown, Rathnure, St.Martin's, Cloughbawn. St.Anne's close to winning it out last year, Rapps and Martin's share the last four Premier minor titles between them, Glynn a developing side who pulled off the shock of all shocks last year. Will be tough for Cloughbawn.

Group B: Shelmaliers, Ferns, Oulart, Buffers Alley, Faythe Harriers, Shamrocks. Tough on Shamrocks, seeing as four of the teams in this group have all either won or finished runner up in each of the last three finals.

Inter hurling
Group A: Duffry Rovers, Crossabeg Ballymurn, Askamore, Ballygarrett, Oylegate, Oulart. Even enough. Nearly harder to call the two that won't qualify

Group B: Adamstown, Craanford, Naomh Eanna, HWH Bunclody, Blackwater, Rathgarogue Cushinstown. Again it's anyone's guess who'll advance from that.

Inter football:
Group A: Glynn Barntown, Taghmon Camross, HWH Bunclody, Ballyhogue, Craanford, Ferns. Hurling aspirations will impact on the likes of Craanford and Ferns, so you'd imagine they'd be the favourites not to qualify.

Group B: Kilarnerin, Kilmore, Bannow Ballymitty, St.Mary's Rosslare, St.Mary's Maudlintown, Clongeen. Interesting to see how both Kilarnerin re-adjust and Maudlintown fit in to life in Intermediate football.

Tipp by 5 points

The Slobs · 14-01-2015 11:12am

Tipp 2.15 to 00-16 Wex

Mixed bag for Wexford who had the wind in first half and played well after a slow start only to ship a late goal goal before half time to lead --10 to 1.03.

Tipp scored a goal early in the second half when the Wexford wing back Foley was struck in the head by a hurl when under a dropping ball with the Tipp player going uncarded. Wex player had to leave pitch injured and when play resumed wexford were down a man and the spare Tipp player scored the goal. Wex subs had being warming up on a back pitch and were late comning on. Callanan only played the second half and for ten minutes threatened to win the game on his own before Wexford backs contained him

Chin was outstanding at centre back Redmond and Kehoe went well midfield with the two wing forwards Byrne and Morris very lively . Breen saved the one on one penalty and young wing back Foley has a big presence in the air before going off injured. On a heavy pitch and difficult weather conditions the rest of the forwards struggled at times to be consistent.

A second wexford selection had beaten CIT on Saturday by 5/6 points with an impressive Aidan Nolan suffering a broken bone in his hand

Wexford have again have two matches for the comning week end with a selection playing Clare on Saturday and another selection playing UCD in Gorey on sunday

The locals will have a decision to make as UCD have Conor Mc Donald Eoin Conroy and Conor Devitt on board as well as Matthew O Hanlon Jack O Connor and Sean Murphy (Buffers Alley) plus match reporter Michael Dwyer !!!

Hardly the strongest Wexford team though:

No Lee Chin, O'Keeffe, McGovern, Rossiter, O'Hanlon, Conor McDonald, Guiney; Redmond & Morris only on the bench.

Laois weren't quite at full-strength either, I don't think, and they are moving well in the right direction but I doubt it will worry Liam Dunne that much tbh.

A team in transition and will be for a while with little to no talent coming through.

Daithi will also be a huge loss

There is a vibrant club underage football scene that goes hand in hand with hurling

But

when it comes to county football squads nobody wants to know

gizmo23 · 02-02-2015 10:59am

I dont think losing to clare was a shock more the manner of it... We missed at least four guilt edge goal chances in the first half.. The wheels came off badly in the second.. we just lost all sense of what the right option was.

we were out graham molloy and a fully fit brian malone ( i know he played second half but he is not 100%)... we need to take this on the chin.. the game against armagh has now takin on a huge signiffince if we get another trimming it could start to effect us confidence wise.

I find it odd how players wont play minor for their county but yet will play U21/senior the year out of minor. Its an odd trend that seems to be happening more and more often.

Kevin O Connor had signed for Soccer that year ( Many Wexford footballers travelled that route before returning to gaelic) He has yet to play senior for his club.

The Rapps have just had a good run at Minor winning three in a row hurling titles up to 2013 and the football as well that year.

There are hopes for two huge talents from those years with Liam Ryan a 19 year old in 2014 the first making a breakthrough in last years championship.

The second is Kevin Foley who will make his first league start V Antrim on Sunday next and is the same age as Liam Ryan.

The Rapps have high expecations for this group, but town teams find it difficult to hold on to their players and to date at U21 they have not converted any of the minor titles into u21's

There are hopes for two huge talents from those years with Liam Ryan a 19 year old in 2014 the first making a breakthrough in last years championship.

The second is Kevin Foley who will make his first league start V Antrim on Sunday next and is the same age as Liam Ryan.

The Rapps have high expecations for this group, but town teams find it difficult to hold on to their players and to date at U21 they have not converted any of the minor titles into u21's

Thanks for that. Rapps and Starlights should probably have the biggest pick of any clubs in Wexford I'd guess, with so many clubs in Wexford town and country clubs always doing better with lesser numbers.

Great to see the young bucks coming through.

Simon Donohoe did

Kevin O Connor had signed for Soccer that year ( Many Wexford footballers travelled that route before returning to gaelic) He has yet to play senior for his club.

dont want to drag this out any more than necessary, but Simon didnt, 100% certain of that. And Kevin could have played had he wanted, but he made a choice that he hoped would help him progress with soccer, so more power to him for that. It just adds to a very long list of players who play/have played for Wexford seniors but didnt play minor when up to the age. nothing against them personally or anything, its their own choice, but its a common occurrence.
