Replying To Tiger1:  "All well and good but the reality is if Kk beat Dublin Sunday makes no odds what we do against Offaly or Kilkenny we are gone for the year again belief comes from consistency and results ."
Yep. Same as at least 2 other top tier counties.
No point crying about it yet.
Firstly we need to beat Offaly tomorrow. PP reckons 4-1 on.
Then we need Dublin to beat Kilkenny on Sunday. PP reckons 7-2.
So PP reckons the odds on that double are 4.63-1.
That sounds about right, and it's obviously not an impossible outcome. Just FYI it's about the same odds as an Offaly and Kilkenny to win double this weekend, which some posters on this forum seem certain is going to happen.
Then hopefully we go into a winner takes all game against Kilkenny. In Wexford Park.
And here's a question for you, when was the last time Kilkenny won a championship game in Wexford Park?

Regarding team selection, I'd honestly be shocked if Casey starts tmw, I don't think he's near good enough but Rossiter obviously thinks he's better than the younger lads and maybe he's right, which is a sad indictment of the quality of the panel. It's the same with Donohoe, great fight in him but limited in Inter county. Stands out a mile in our club championship so it shows how poor of a standard that is. Niall Murphy must have some determination in him to stay with the squad when he gets pretty much zero important minutes over the past 3 or 4 years. Again, I don't think he's quick enough for inter county but those lads make some commitment to the cause so they deserve a good level of appreciation from us for putting in the effort, year after year. We need to beat Offaly tmw to get the team and supporters a bit of confidence going into the last game against the Cats because I dread to think of the beating they'll give us if we lose again tmw. Do I think we'll qualify for anything? No! but would sure be nice to end the season with 2 wins.

Last time Kilkenny beat Wexford in Senior Hurling Championship in Wexford Park?

First thoughts were that it must be donkey's years ago, because of how we didn't play them too regularly on a home/away basis for many years, and instead usually met in Croke Park. But then I remembered the real answer, and it's not exactly the dim and distant past. For context - one of the lads who retired during the winter just gone by started that match.

Also, we've only actually played them in the championship in Wexford Park three times since then (two wins, one draw). All were good results, but it's not a long and extended track record of 'getting one over on them' there either.

You'd have taken on in 2010 though wouldn't you?
