    Anybody here go. The Dublin side won both games, the football on penalties and the hurling by a point. Apparently controversy dogged the hurling game as many in the crowd and some other parties thought the ref got the score wrong.
    Any thoughts?

    A few of us here did go. A good way to start the year. Other counties around the country should do something similar on New Year's Day. It is a good concept. It's a day out, a couple of good matches covering both codes, a chance to see some county players and a chance for a club to showcase its facilities. It could have all sorts of potential as a charity fundraiser or something like that.

    It may not have meant much, but it was a good chance for the two new managers see their players in a match, remembering that in each match there would be players from both teams that could end up making the county team. It is not often, outside of a club match, that an inter-county manager gets to see so many of his potential players playing against each other. In fact, given that one side was completely down to the choice of the county manager and the other team was a best of the rest, they would have seen more potential players playing than they would have at a club match.

Sub. - Ciarán Deely (Horeswood, 0-1) for Gaule.

    Wexford: Jason Russell ( Starlights); Conor Murphy (St. Mary's, Rosslare), Clive Lawlor (Shelmaliers), Barry Kehoe (HWHBunclody); Robert Mageean ( Bannow-Ballymitty), Graeme Molloy (St. James'), Joey Wadding (St. Fintan's); Paul O'Leary (Blackwater), Paddy Byrne (Kilmore, 1-0); Kenneth Cahill (Gusserane), Peter Hughes (Kilanerin, 0-1), Jody O'Shaughnessy (Castletown, 0-1); Pat Naughter (Réalt na Mara, 0-2), Lloyd Colfer (Taghmon-Camross), Jason Murphy (Sarsfields, 0-2 frees).
