The Slobs

Wexford Hurling Club championship about to get under way tomorrow with one game played tonight in Inter A where county senior Captain Matthew O Hanlon St James beat Clongeen 4-17 to 2--09

Senior
Clash of the round is the meeting of champions Shelmaliers and Oulart

The word is oulart with a reduced number in the county squad and a huge investment money wise in their management team are very determined to regain their title and a good start to that would be to beat the champions Shelmaliers. The Shels themselves are as a group younger than Oulart but still quite experienced and will be more than able to deal with what Oulart will throw at them.

The Martins following last years Minor and U21 success are another team who will be looking to make an impact and by all accounts are putting in a huge effort and are a club who don't lack confidence at the best of times . Dathi Waters is now a full time hurler and Mossy Waters has recovered from Injury to add to a squad full of young players.

The above clubs are my top three and I would fancy one other from between Glynn or Ferns to Join the top four.

Newly promoted Shamrocks will struggle to avoid relegation as their Intermediate win last year came a few years to late for this gutsy squad to make an impact at senior.



Intermediate

The hardest grade to forecast at the best of times

Putting in big a effort this year are Oulart's second team on the back of their senior set up , but they will be praying that first team injurys do not eat into their playing resources will fancy themselves to reach semi finals at least under their manage Paul Dempsey.

Another club who are experienced and have some emerging younger players are Oylegate and are a potential semi final team. with Podge Doran , Marty Kelly (Former Monageer) Jamie Reck and Minors Seamus Casey /Damien Reck .

Askamore are another with recent senior experience and with Shane Tompkins and PJ Nolan in great form should reach the last four despite their tendency to have internal squabbling as background music.

Another top four will come from Naomh Eanna with a strong defencive unit lead by Benny Travers , Eoin Conroy and an Attack lead by Conor Mc Donald.
or
Ballygarrett who are going well and have a few young players joining the experienced Redmond brothers .

Intermediate A

Ballyfad may have the focus on a return to senior ranks in football and if that does not damage their hurling effort they are capable of the semifinals especially given how they lost out to eventual champions Crossabeg in last years semi final at the death.

Can beaten finalist of the last two years Monageer come again for a third time especially following a heavy final defeat . If the mental scares are not too deep they have the hurling to do so.

Fethard disappointed last year but have the potential to make the last four with a young squad who are gathering valuable experience each year

St James first year in Intermediate A ranks might make the last four with outside bets from Our Ladies Island or maybe Geraldines relegated from intermediate last year.

Junior

An emerging Taghmon team look to be favourites to win this grade .

dont worry, it's still being read! it probably just needs a few more to start coming on board too. I didnt get to any of the senior games this week, weather was just too mental to be out in to go watch as a neutral.

Senior Hurling
After the first weeks action it is looking like the leading senior clubs will be Oulart, Shels and St Martins
The only club looking like they will not be in contention are Shamrocks,
I dont expect there will be much between the other eight clubs before the season ends.

Intermediate Hurling

The most impressive club from the first round are HWH Bunclody

Intermediate A

Early days yet here but strong starts from St James, Monageer, Fethard

The Slobs

Westmeath were full value for their win and well done

They had their home work done on wexford

By swamping the wexford halfback line and mid field using their big strong men
to win the high ball and much more determination on the dirty ground ball

Westmeath forwards are physically strong and the Doyle brothers might lack pace but are excellent stick men.

The referee a Kilkenny man by the way was fussy and card happy and alot of the frees were lost on most observers and it was a miracle of the eight or so yellows issued that no one picked up a second booking.

A disappointing result for Wexford from a group that had show potential on the way up . The most disappointed will be the players themselves.

No great evidence of any great coaching from management on the line. and that will not come as a surprise to many in Wexford.

A failure at leadership level in Wexford to get the right appointment for this important grade two years ago has now come to pass on the field.

You might expand a bit on your own thoughts on it slobs. My own opinion was that the initial appointment should never have happened, and at least letting heffo go was best done when it came about. It did lead to issues down the line alright and I thought there would have been another change this year.

68deville

V similar to the 2006 Carlow defeat, apparently we got our house in order,
Got past players involved,etc,etc,etc, and poured time and resources into
Underage teams and back ta square one,1985 since Leinster title in minor hurling so what now??

THE Hurling Review Committee headed by Griffin had Paul Carley recommended for the position ( He was in charge of the county schools team for last two years)

The Coiste chairperson wanted Mickey Laffan ( a case of three Glynn Men)

The county senior chair appointed Heffo as a compromise

Heffo was undermined (lead up the garden patch) did nothing different regarding training than the Minor football manager

The Coiste chair then lead a second committee and appointed for two years the current manager and the rest is history

Your first point is factually correct. The other 4 are all incorrect in some way. Here probably isn't the place to go into the details, but can assure you of what I said.

Grueller

I was in patricks park last night for gorey vs shels in junior. Shels walked it they looked very strong while Gorey, after being promoted two years running looked out of their depth at this level.
The second game was a real championship affair. Craanford made all the early running until two quick fire goals from Aidan Nolan left Bunclody up by four at half time. Craanford did well to lead by one with five left. Bunclody pulled two clear again by injury time. Padraig Byrne, who overall had an excellent game, found almost five minutes of injury time and Craanford equalised through two frees. This group looks wide open now. Work commitments prevented me getting to any other games this weekend.

Not going to start all this again save to say that a lot of people with a lot of power decided to use that power for purposes that ultimately brought no benefit to Wexford hurling.

The compromise candidate was dead in the water from day one and whether knowingly or unwittingly truly played the role and in the end fell down.

The next process was essentially between two men. One got it, the other should have in a process that was flawed from the start. Again, the strings were humming with activity.

Dysfunction was and remains at the heart of this. The CB, under current man, has done incredible work to save the county from absolute financial ruin after decades of nothing less than fools being elected for top posts. Average club men electing their fellow average club men to positions where they became like property developers. The boat is now floating financially at least.

Add in staffing issues, poor quality club coaching standards, with some great exceptions and the county found itself turning on itself and what we saw on Saturday was the chicken coming home to roost. Now, to clarify Westmeath absolutely deserved to win. But the minor management have no clue, none whatsoever, as to how to coach, motivate, improve lads, organise or implement a system. Losing to Kilkenny, in some circles, was seen as progress and almost as a vindication but that Kilkenny team are a poor comparison to last years team- forwards are ordinary so far and they do not have a killer scorer like John Walsh as they had last year.

Yes, things were changed, people came and people went and put in good work but and BUT: it is akin to banging your head against the ball wall of the Peters Alley when the politics and egos and machinations are the controlling influences.

Two of the main men involved in underage hurling, including primary and secondary schools, are now coaching outside the county. Apart from flippant answers to the question when as asked, this small thing says more about the truth than anything else.

This is no county for old men. Not chronologically old but old in ideas, attitudes, approaches. But old men rule the roost. Nods and winks and backs will most certainly be scratched.

A model county maybe but that was years ago. One senior club hurling in the main town while there are 4/5 football clubs. Facts, facts and more facts that have all been said before.

Well done to the Westmeath players and mentors and the clubs and the coaches who coach them in a county where football is the major player. A credit to what can be done.

Anyone at any senior matches over weekend

cromwells mate

Oulart the Ballagh beat Harriers on a score of 1.13 to 08. Windy conditions but ok game. Harriers had a good outing the first day but look like a team that might make up a chasing bunch as opposed to Oulart who look decent enough if not quite as clinical as in the past. No real unknown stand outs, imo.

Also caught the bones of the Ballygarrett v Crossabeg Ballymurn (promoted this year). Win for CB and by far the better and sharper team.

Didn't get to any other games.

Grueller

Any word on whether or not the round of hurlingpencilled for the 22-24 May is going ahead or not? Bad form that clubs don't know 10-12 days beforehand. The Wexford fixtures committee need a good kick in the hole.

Fatswaldo

Full round of hurling championship games on that weekend, clubs knew on Monday.

Also, Wexford seniors play a challenge match against Limerick tonight in Kilsheelan.

The Slobs

Went to the U21 match on Wednesday night in Newbridge

Kildare with the wind in the first half more than matched Wexford who huffed and puffed apart for Conor Mc Donald who scored pints at will with every wexford attack aimed at him

In the second half wind assisted Wexford won 23pts to 14 having lead 9 to 7 at half time .

The Kildare number 12 is a class act was man of the match in the all Ireland B final last year.

Wexford subs livened up the second half and played a part in their getting on top, and when Padraig Foley was switched from the forwards to centre back he was like a man released from death row and a move that will stop the folly of playing him in the forwards where he is clearly frustrated
