Is Barry O'Connor definitely going back to Australia?

Any lads outside or on fringes of county panel shine with their clubs this year?

Replying To Viking66: "Annes sat too deep. Spent alot of the game with only Mogie in the Martins half. If they had of been more positive, or had more confidence in themselves, they might have got over the line.
Jacko was pretty ordinary for most of the game, though in fairness he put alot of effort in when he didnt have the ball, and took the chance he was given for the insurance point well at the death. Rory was very good. Barry is making a difference for them also.
The goal was a shocker, and killed the momentum the Annes were building at the time.
Strangely muted crowd, not much atmosphere there tbh. Big crowd in, so was expecting more noise!!
Overall Martins deserved their win, I'll probably go up to support them against Naas!" Agree on the goal but probably should have been a free out. Rory struck the keepers arm with his hurl.

Dee sat back after first 10 min and annes came good but pushed out that bit further near end first half and narrins prob won the game in 10 min burst before half time . Forcing mistakes and turnovers with the workrate . Goal was bit dubious and came at crucial tone but stilll feel annes never looked like winning he fame

It was a tame county final overall, St. Martins largely in control throughout but St. Annes never went away. Rory was by a street the best player on the pitch. I thought the referee was too whistle happy and never let play develop at all. The goal was a free out but I think St. Martins would still have won. St. Annes needed a goal they never got it though.
I saw the last 10 minutes and extra time in the first game and although standard of hurling was not as good both teams served up a great game. Monageer deserved a draw from the bit I saw and both probably deserved another day out but credit to Liam Mellows they stuck at it and ground it out in extra time.
The crowd was strangely quiet I thought too.

Personally as a neutral I thought it was a shocking final that was devoid of any atmosphere or inspiration .. The Annes were little too negative and therefore struggled to get any great momentum or scores .. The goal killed them .. That said the Martins surprised me with the workrate and their hassling and were full value for the victory .. They have a tricky day out against Naas now .. Naas are a very decent outfit and have some super forwards.
Went to see Jimmies V Bunclody too - Jimmies deserved to win but had a few nervy moments. Bunclody missed two gilt edge goals in the first half which would have put a very different slant on it.. O'Hanlan was given the freedom of the park especially in the 2nd half and Bunclody launched balls on top of him. Scored two superb points. Adian Nolan was super but he couldn't be every where. Peter Atkinson going off injured was a big tipping point as he was causing hassle. Jimmies have some super hurlers and they will give Rathnure enough of it in the final - If Rathnure hurl to their ability they will win but it won't be as clearcut as people expect. Jimmies have nothing to loose.
And as far as the Fethard debacle goes - it's going to the DRA now apparently. The CCC met at 12.30pm on Saturday to discuss Fethards appeal as to why Leinster GAA threw out their objection. If the rumours are to be believed, a local business is putting up the cash for the appeal. Had Bunclody of beaten St James then maybe they would have some merit but now that it's the Jimmies then its time to take their medicine and move on.

As regards the upcoming game for the Martins against Naas I really hope the Martins lads had a good night celebrating last night, and are back in training tomorrow or Wednesday. Naas have a very good side. I did say to the friend I'll be watching the game with, who hurled for Naas and Kildare back in the day, that I'd have Naas as favourites. He reckoned not and that I was winding him up, which I was kinda!, but anyone in Wexford who thinks our champions just have to turn up to win the game will be in for a shock if the Martins lads aren't 100% focused. And the game will be close if the Martins hurl their best. Deep into injury time Na Fianna of Dublin were only leading Naas by 1 point in last years Leinster semi final. Naas beat Camross from Laois in the quarter final. Na Fianna only lost the Leinster Final by a point to OLG after that.

We haven't had anyone really at it since Oulart in their prime.
Having said that if I were to hand pick a team that I thought had the best chance it would be Martin's.

St Martins are worthy champions. The game lacked any real excitment. Strangley the crowd were very quiet and athmosphere was almost non existant.
The Annes tried hard but never really got to grips with their opponents. They needed mogie to shine but alas it never happened.
Rory was a thorn in the Annes side from start to finish and Eoin Ryan was not able to cope and gave away a lot of frees which Rory punished.
Hopefully in leinster against Naas we will not see another Wexford team bow out at the first attempt. The Martins have strength in every line but they will have to bring their A game if they are to beat the Kildare lads.

On a off topic note, I see Wexford GAA are to receive 3.5 mil towards the next phase of the wexford centre of excellence so more dressing rooms, floodlight 4g pitch small stand. If you get a chance, have a look at the plans, they are very impressive.

He just needs to tidy up his shooting.
Oisin is still involved he just didn't recover from a fairly serious shoulder injury quickly enough. I assume it's a given he'll be involved next year. We need more lads who can win clean ball and he's excellent at it

Replying To Timbertony: "Any lads outside or on fringes of county panel shine with their clubs this year?" Cathal Doyle did very well for Taghmon playing in a team playing poorly in the few minutes he played. Was carrying an ankle injury but scored well from play in the 1st halves of both our last 2 games. 4 in the 1st half of 1 and 5 in the first half of the other I think.
Justin Moran for the Annes. Andrew did OK too. Mark Byrne did better at midfield for Crossabeg than I thought he would. Jack Redmond has been doing well for Rathnure but I haven't seen them yet this year.

Oisin Foley is a good player for sure and a cert for the 26 if fit.

At least they have every opportunity to be competitive anyway, unlike the senior football champions, who travel away to Moorefield in the JHC on Saturday, and then turn around to play St.Loman's away the following Tuesday evening. Absolutely ridiculous.

Last time I saw him for Wexford was a challenge game against Waterford he didn't do too badly. Flood looked good for Cloughbawn when he played, hopefully all the gym work he's doing for the knee will help him get stronger all round. Cathal Parker looked tidy for Horeswood.

Sorry Viking you're right. The shoulder was actually the previous year.
I think flood has to be involved (admittedly biased) but I don't think we have 26 hurlers that are better than him. Not as a back though. I would think midfield is his best position for inter county.
