Quick turnaround next Wednesday night for the galway match.I presume that match will be in tullamore.it'll be intresting to see how the defence holds up next weekend but we seemed to handpass the ball around and play smart ball inside to our fowards.have to be very impressed with eoin cody he could be something serious.im sure he'll be well watched against galway but we have a good spread of fowards thankfully we seem to be producing some good fowards underage.Hopefully cody can see league time next year for the seniors.
On the senior match this weekend the prize for the winner is huge.last year the draw really took the sting out of us plus losing wally really hampered us.If we could squeeze a win sunday and end up in the ladt 4 who knows what could happen especially if we were to get our best 15 on the field.
Aidan nolan will be a loss coming on he brings a big physical presence but jack o connor will probably start he was very good when he came on.Wexford will also try to nullify padraigs influence.
On ourselves not much info from the camp deegan was a loss as he does a job for us and can be a good man marker.James maher could nearly start and i wouldnt be suprised to see a aylward or blanchfield start.Hopefully now we get a good 70 mins performance from the lads especially up front.Mullen will probably be quieter so we need wally and whoever else to really step up.

According to off the ball it's a 2 game ban instead of 1 as he was also sent off in the super 11 event in Boston last November.

Galway match is fixed for th e 3rd of July according to Leinster GAA website....

According to the kk gaa website the match is on next Thursday evening in tullamore at 7.30.Just thinking it'll be 3 matches for mullen in the week.its not great planning from the gaa when consider the timing of the leinster final surely this could of being spread out a bit I dont there's that much of panic to play it.

Congrats to the ground staff at nowlan park voted best pitch for the second year in a row.

Under-20's first half was only ok.
Second half very good and some great long range point scoring combined with well created and finished goals.
What I did like was the players were confident enough to play through the lines from the short puck out.
Only twice can I remember it breaking down. Once in the first half when Conor Heary ran into trouble and once in the second when Mikey Carey got caught. But overall it was good to watch the slick handpassing. DJ's stint with the minor footballers obviously transferring into a more modern style of moving the ball for hurling. Dare I say Limerick-style. Short passing out of defence followed by long range point scoring.
Tommy Ronan was lucky that Mikey Butler got yellow card in the wrong in the first half. Mullen was at half pace only.
Interesting that only one player from a junior club on the 24 and 13 from senior on the starting 15.[/quot

Four or five clubs provided the bulk of players for the U20's but then you look at this year's minor team and there is a nice mix of senior, intermediate and junior clubs represented there. These things generally change from year to year.

The best players should be picked regardless of club in my opinion. I do like it when there are as many as clubs as possible represented though as it says a lot about the strength of depth of club hurling in the county. I don't buy the argument that playing junior should be an impediment to making a county team. There is little between the top of junior and most intermediate teams and the same then between the cream of inter and the bulk of senior. There is a gap though between the top teams in senior and the rest IMO.

For the minor team that started against Offaly there was only one senior club player. Very unusual when you think of numbers and dominance city (senior) clubs have had recently on minor grade.

brookville · 26-06-2019 10:40pm

I was reading today paddy deegan took part in training last weekend and damien reck is a doubt for wexford.I dunno how reliable this is i think it was on the independent.

Anyone any news on the injury front before team is announced tomorrow?
From what I hear Deegan is not too bad.
Wally will be fine. Don't know about Buckley.

If Buckley is out and Deegan is ok then the same 6 backs will probably start.
Also if Maher is fit he will probably get the nod on midfield beside fogarty.
That would see Leahy in the half forward line with tj and wally.
Billy Ryan possibly to corner with Colin Fennelly and Mullen.
Richie Hogan will get his 30 mins plus.

Possible team if Buckley unavailable?????

I don't think you are too far away with that team. I would agree with playing Adrian Mullen in the full forward line, he has an eye for goal

brookville · 27-06-2019 10:47pm

Heard deegan isnt too bad and delaney after getting a bit of training in so good news at least.i expect a few changes anyway,both teams very familiar with each other.think it's important we start to settle on a midfield pairing it has being chopped and changed alot.id like maher and leahy midfield.I wouldnt be suprised to see someone who has being out drafted in he done it this time last year with billy ryan.
Id expect tj to pull hanlon around croke park and maybe wally into the corner and try use height advantage.
There's going to be a serious battle around the middle 3rd and i wonder will kennan let as much go as the last day?
The prize for sunday will be huge straight into the last 4 and who knows...both teams will have their homework done hopefully our bit of experience will stand to us and the space should probably help both teans.
Best of luck to both teams and the camogie saturday.

droppingball · 28-06-2019 12:01pm

Have a feeling Keenan will be fairly strict and won't let half as much go as horgan did, in many ways this could break momentum of the game which would suit wexford spoiler tactics. On the other hand you would hope that Tj would score more of his frees than Lee Chin.

Think he might play TJ in the full forward line and have funny feeling Richie Hogan will play in the centre forward.

Possibly see

I think its safe to say whatever ref was named they were never going to let as much go as Horgan does

Joe Daly · 28-06-2019 6:23pm

As long as the ref pulls both teams for fouls that will be okay, its a pity the minor final is on so early its a shame 11.30am they will be on the road early. The best of luck to all our teams in the black amber this weekend.

Suprised to see the same team named i thought we might of seen a new face.Its good to see deegan and wally named i heard wally was a doubt so thankfully his named and the game stands to buckley but he looked in pain the last day.
The tactics for this will be intriguing.i see Derek mcgrath has a piece about wexford putting chin at 11 and hope padraig follows him but i expect us to put someone on chin maybe fogarty.I know this will be a different match and will take on a life of its own but i hope we're slowly but surely getting to grips with wexford and if not for some wayward shooting the last day we could of won.
I wonder what's the situation with lads like Luke scanlon or kevin kelly?

savannahkat · 28-06-2019 9:55pm

If this is the starting team then congratulations to Cillian Buckley for making it back after such an extended period of rehabilitation. I know he started the last day but it did look like he had broken down which would have been heart breaking for him. If he returns to anything like his best he will be some addition to the team. I rate James Maher very, very highly. If Cillian or Conor do not put in a fair shift then we have one of the best midfielders around to come in. Similarly I rate Billy Ryan very highly as well. He has everything necessary for this grade and all he is waiting for is that bit of devilment and extra confidence to kick in. Being from the same club as Eddie Brennan it is a bit surprising the bit of devilment has not shown itself sooner.

Just had a look back and dobbs correctly leaked the team prior to the game 2 weeks ago so formline is good.

This is the team listed on the Kilkenny GAA website. If the team that starts differs from this then obviously Cody and Co want to keep it under wraps and if anyone is party to inside info that says differently then a serious breach of trust has occured.

To be honest It was very unlikely buckley was going to start after the way he hobbled off two weeks ago.Alan murphy is a suprise but he proved against dublin he is well able to score Just needs more physicality.
Both teams will crowd the middle 3rd with bodies and isolate the inside line so hopefully our inside men can do harm.

mountgomery burns · 29-06-2019 12:15am

Happened to be in the Left Bank in Kilkenny the night before the all Ireland semi replay in 2016. Was told that night Mark Begin, Blanchfield and Eoin larkin were going to start in the jack's by some lad without even asking.

These things are common knowledge, you can be sure Wexford know who's going to line out already. Davy won't be sitting on boards.ie trying to find out in any case.

Derek mcgrath said he got a text the friday night in 16 from a kk source saying hogan and tj were going to midfield and mick fennelly lying into de burca at 11...
I'm sure davey will throw in someone like dunbar or jacko at the last minute.
I'm not in favour of this craic by the way and think the tesm named should start like.

I know Kevin Kelly was dropped off the panel before the Wexford game, if not before the Galway match I can't remember which it was. I'm not sure about Scanlon I know he was injured for a while but you would expect he's over that, didn't he play for the Village in the last round of games?

Yea I he did.how was buckley after the wexford match?it's a shame to hear bout kevin being dropped hopefully he can put all the injuries behind him and get a good run

brookville · 29-06-2019 10:16pm

Things very quite here are we feeling confident?best of luck to both our teams tomorrow.Our minors could be under pressure.The match ups in the senior will be intriguing hopefully we've learned enough.Cant wait to see what we do with tj or will we man mark chin or keeffe.Will we move wally and tj in the full foward line but would we have enough then on the half foward line.Hopefully mullen and huw go well first big day for these 2 lads.

Nickindublin · 30-06-2019 9:16am

I don't think you can be confident and id say that for any team in both Leinster and Munster finals. I think we expect to win but Wexford think the same. What I hope to see is a 70 mins performance and improvement.\we have played against this Wexford side enough times now to have a plan to counteract their system. I think for us if Reid delivers we will win. But if Wexford keep him quite it will be a close game and they might win. Not sure if that team will start and will depend on how players are going in training and injuries. Best of luck to both teams today.

dastardly00 · 30-06-2019 10:13am

I think it will be very close today and maybe only a one score game between the teams at the end. Actually a draw wouldn't be unlikely, but we'd be better off if it wasn't. Both ourselves and Galway suffered as a result of it last year.

Best of luck to the seniors and minors today, and well done to the camogie team yesterday.

usualstripes · 30-06-2019 1:45pm

Too many missed chances by the minors when they were on top in 2nd half. Wexford won most of the 50 50 challenges. A bit of work to do

Kevin Kelly is as much a part of the panel as Richie Reid

Can someone tell me how it to took the referee 26 mins to book a Wexford player?

Mullen and leahy hurling well. Billy Ryan or hogan should be in for Alan murphy
