Horrific memories. I think we were 7 or 8 points to nil down at one stage.
Tony Dorans last match?
Permutations for the possibility of Limerick being premoted out of 1b. What needs to happen for Limerick to go up?
Nah. Even if Wexford loose today, they would still have to loose to Laoise
Oh well thanks Mike, I’d hoped there was an outside chance we might snake it.
Loose boots, shorts, socks, jerseys or helmets?

Offaly lead 7-5 after 22 mins.
Offaly with stiff breeze behind them.
HT. Wexford 1-7 Offaly 0-8.
Conor McDonald soared highest to claim an Aaron Maddock skyscraper, emerged from the crowd and buried it just before half time.
Another good display against a gale by Wexford for the most part. Pretty slick combination play in working the ball upfield and Shaun Murphy’s having another fine game knitting it all together back there.
Simon Donohoe’s under a lot of pressure in one corner but lock down corner James Breen is having a really good game on Dooley. David Redmond’s getting on a lot of ball from left half forward and Chin’s been very busy at centre forward.
Correct. Tony Dorian and Mick Jacob last match. Was flicking through the match programme only last week. It was a real Dads Army Wexford team. There could have been 9-10 of starting team over 30. There was a lot of retirements after 1984 and in 1985 Wexford lost to Laois.
Wexford had two other demoralising Leinster finalmdefeats to Offaly in 1980’s. 1988 was all about the Paul Nolan horror show in goal. He never played for Wexford again. Senior inter county career over at 20.
The narrow 2 point defeat to Offaly for a place in the All Ireland Final in 1981 was probably worst of all. Tony Doran went off injured about 10 minutes in. In such a tight game and based on his semi final performance against Kilkenny, he’d surely have made the difference. Offaly beat Galway in the final for their first All Ireland.
You’re taking the piss here Mike, right??
He’s certainly loose with his spelling

Wexford have the better head to head against both Galway and Limerick so can afford to lose a game.
Fanning just made a cracking penalty save. Dooley went back and pointed the '65.
1-10 to 0-11. '48.
Straight red for some Wexican
Not at the match I’m at.

Wexford win 1-17 to 0-15 and secure promotion. Sounds like a scrappy enough performance. 16
Wides apparently.
Congrats pal. I’d suggest Wexford should give us the nod next weekend, as it’d the bejaysus out of Offaly, but I doubt if ye did roll over, that we’d still keep the score down enough to win.
OK thought the guy on the radio said something about a straight red around the same time as the penalty. Apologies.
Great to get the win, but underwhelming second half display.
With the wind we had in second half should have won more convincingly.
Still 4 wins in a row, happy with that.
Far too many wides.
Take it chief. Tullamore is a cunt of a place to come out of. I’d take a one point win all day up there. Congrats on winning promotion
