NHL Division 1B - The Wexford Procession

Right now we will bite off hands for that .

Itā€™s from before that pal. The previous regime (allegedly) had a hack on demand so to speak. If any county board rep dared challenge the top table thereā€™d be some belittling in the local paper to follow. Resulted in very little in the way of action at county board meetings.

The new regime have taken steps to remove said hack from proceedings.

Of course now itā€™s a free speech issue.

Wexford 5/1 to go up is a great bet.

Galway will walk it mate.

Iā€™m not joking, but I think Limerick could be involved in a relegation battle.

Ah weā€™ll stay in 1B anywayā€¦things arenā€™t that bad.

Consolidation

Weā€™ll beat Wexford, draw with Galway and lose to Offaly, costing us promotion yet again. Just you wait and see.

Massive opening two games for Laois, Kerry away and Offaly home, win them and weā€™ll go unbeaten in 1B

Incidentally, the Dooley gene is strong in Offaly again, 5 cousins involved in the panel now I believe

From The Wexford People:
Aside from the three players recovering from cruciate operations (Shore, McGovern and Tomkins), Conor McDonald is the only injury concern for Sunday but he should be available.

Offaly hurling genes are generally strong. Hereā€™s the team in 1925. Number of names recur throughout the decades in Offaly, Corrigan, Carroll, Spain, Cordial, Fleury, Deignan (Duignan?).

Hardly surprising when everyone in Offaly is related.

I think that theyā€™re all cousins on the Laois panel

I think Limerick will go well, and will be desperate for promotion. This and home advantage should see them beat Galway in what will effectively be the decider, unless wexford can improve considerably on last year.

Wexford performed better than Lk in last yearā€™s championship .

They did, but I think Limerick are stronger and deeper if United. Iā€™d see limericks true level as the kk game in the deluge. Iā€™m not convinced wexford are there yet, though I hope Iā€™m wrong. *

*I may be being brainwashed.

Wexford will beat Limerick on Sunday. Preparations for a Limerick assault on the Championship after a disastrous League campaign can then begin in earnest. The Limerick Way.

The Kk game gave a somewhat inflated appraisal of Limerickā€™s true worth . Kk were a little off colour and Lk were up for it . Add in the deluge and it is another mitigating factor . It gave Lk a bar which they have fallen considerably short of in last 2.5 years. We should be ahead of Wex and I think we might win on Sunday but we have a long road to climb . Wexford will be tough .

Limerick should always be up for it. That is a minimum prerequisite for any management team.

Agreed .
