Decent game, Wexford willing to work harder and got their rewards.

Plenty of time for Galway to rectify things but you’d wonder if some of them will have the hunger for the hard work when it’s needed.

Dublin vs limerick
Wex vs Cody’s cheaters.

I suppose thurles. I’ll have the breakfast ready lads. I’ll

Teeeeeejay! !!!

That was great stuff. I thought Paudie Foley gave a Tour de France in the second half and Conor McDonald came up with the goods at the end. Rory O’Connor has a real touch of class and also scored a smashing late long range point after Galway got it back level.

I didn’t see the sending off incident - O’Keeffe (big return to form today) went down holding his chest/arm after Galway had been awarded the free and Coyne was trotting away. The umpires behind the Wexford goal seemed to make the call.

I think we might still be short a man marking defender or even two. We couldn’t really hold Whelan, albeit Reck would have been marking him if hadn’t have been injured. That said, Devereux battled hard against him. Whelan’s just a class act though.

Galway will be very hard to beat in the summer though as McInerney completely dominates his patch and Daithi Burke will be back too. I think this new system will be great too in terms of building up rivalries with teams. I’m sure any Wexford or Galway supporters who attended or watched today will want to be in Innovate Wexford Park when these two meet again in two or three months time. @flattythehurdler, you’ll surely make a weekend of it?

Are we really at home for the semi final on the basis of playing them in Nowlan Park already?

There is no bigger name in the Gaa.

Oh no.

Harte is a weak link. Goals remain an issue.
Still, it’s all fixable.

I don’t know :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Tbf there’ll be very few backs in the country able to man mark Conor whelan. He’s an absolutle class act.

Who’s dumb and dumber

Will take that. It’s not just the win, but more so the addition of Rory O Connor, Kevin Foley and Paudie Foley to last years side, all 3 of them hugely improving the team. Good performance, opened them up a few times and created some lovely chances and scores thru good play

Be happier to get a tougher semi final to be honest. Kilkenny are fairly shit and will be worse without Fennelly (C.) and Murphy (P.).

We’ll beat the shit out of them.

More than likely

I’ll come for sure @bandage if I can get a ticket, which I suspect I actually won’t. They’ll be like gold dust.
Wexford were very good. A very enjoyable game. Galway played well. Was proud of the performance. It took a good team to beat them which is all you can ask.
Mannion has come on a lot.
Good game. Good for both sides. Good example of what kk will bring too, physical and high work rate. Was delighted to see how very keen galway were to win at the end. Would love to see them go at it in croker on a dry day.
Congrats wexford.
