NP. The Leinster Council website is top notch when it comes to Club Championship games across all grades, scores are up on it within an hour of games finishing.
I see PJ Banville is emigrating
yeah off to oz for a year, hasnt been great for wexford the last 2 years really, huge loss for horsewood, he had a great club championship this year
Oulart are playing Raharney in Mullingar this afternoon. Time for Liam Dunne to put Davy Fiztgerald in his place. 
From The Wexford Echo:
Dunne fully intent on deflating Davy Fitz’s “big ego”
ON SUNDAY week last Raharney of Westmeath shocked Coolderry (Offaly) to set up next Sunday’s clash with Oulart-The Ballagh in the Leinster Club championship.
But it was only after Raharney pulled off the biggest surprise of the quarter-finals that it emerged that former Clare goalkeeper and current Waterford senior hurling manager Davy Fitzgerald is actually aiding Raharney’s bid.
It is noteworthy that Fitz had just helped to eliminate a Coolderry side which is managed by former long-serving Tipperary goalkeeper Ken Hogan, who had steered Tipp to the AllIreland hurling under21 title this year, something which undoubtedly gave Fitz extra personal satisfaction.
And the timing of the revelation that Fitz is assisting the midlanders is something that did not escape Oulart manager Liam Dunne, who believes that Fitzgerald capitalised on helping to rock the Offaly champions by further enhancing his profile through the media.
[b]“The only thing I would say on that is that if Coolderry had beaten Raharney would it have got out in the ‘papers that Davy Fitz was with them?,”
Dunne wonders, before contending that: “Davy has got a big ego and he has to fill that every time he can get an opportunity. We are not worried about Davy Fitzgerald; it is Raharney who we are focussed on.[/b]”
As an aside, it defies belief that Colm Bonnar is about to embark on his third season as Wexford senior hurling manager. For fuck sake.
I can’t believe the All Ireland champions elect conceded 4 goals to the Westmeath champions today.
Think they got 3 goals in the last few minutes, a couple from high balls which may have been lost in the thickness of the fog :lol:
Any of the Kilkenny lads know anything about this Gordon Ryan character? Apparently joining the Wexford senior hurling set up to replace Tom Mullally - who was the only member of the management / coaching team who offered anything.
Here’s Ryan’s business website: http://www.inspiringexcellence.ie/about-us.html
From the IT, big weekend for Wexford GAA
Oulart eye unfinished business
GAELIC GAMES: THE DOMINANCE of Kilkenny at intercounty level has to an extent dulled the hurling rivalry in recent years between the county and Wexford. But on Sunday the counties will contest an interesting Leinster club final with Oulart-the-Ballagh and O’Loughlin Gaels as proxies.
Oulart’s single-mindedness under the baton of former player, All Star and All-Ireland medallist Liam Dunne and the experience of last year when they came within seconds of aborting what turned out to be Ballyhale’s All-Ireland-winning season have created an air of expectancy around the county.
Wexford clubs have struggled in the club championship throughout its 40 years and of the counties that have won Liam MacCarthy Cups in that period only Limerick have a less productive record on the national club stage.
It can be argued that the club All-Ireland is roughly reflective of intercounty fortunes (apart from Galway’s disproportionate success) but although Wexford’s one success, with Buffer’s Alley in 1989, is on a par with the county’s single MacCarthy Cup win seven years later, the county also has the hardest-luck story in club hurling.
Rathnure, home to the Rackard brothers, has contested and lost five All-Ireland finals over the first three decades of the championship.
Their defeat by St Joseph’s Doora-Barefield in 1999 was the last appearance by a Wexford club in Croke Park on St Patrick’s Day.
Buffer’s Alley’s victory was doubly celebrated in Wexford, as it completed the great Tony Doran’s medal collection.
The 42-year-old veteran played on the team that beat O’Donovan Rossa of Antrim in the final and added the club All-Ireland to those already won in the previous 26 years at minor, under-21 and senior county level.
Also playing on that team was the young Tom Dempsey, who would bring back another All-Ireland medal with the county in 1996.
Rathnure and Buffer’s Alley are the leading clubs on Wexford’s roll of honour with 20 and 12 titles respectively.
But Oulart have enjoyed a remarkable run since their first championship in 1994 and they currently stand on eight titles, averaging one every two years since that breakthrough. Prior to that golden era the club had actually lost its first 10 county finals.
But despite its high-profile and much-decorated players, Dunne and All-Ireland-winning Wexford captain Martin Storey, Oulart have yet to win a provincial title.
And that omission is down for resolution this weekend.
Pobalscoil Chorca Dhuibhne and St Flannan’s College, Ennis, were involved in an epic Munster Colleges Moran Cup (under-15 football) final played on a heavy Glin pitch yesterday afternoon.
It was the strong finish by the Kerry side, that saw them earn the spoils of victory – 3-6 to 2-4 – in their first year competing in the A grade.
Fuck Clonard GAA club. :guns:
What’s this I’m hearing about Faythe Harriers allowing a rugby team use their all weather facilities ?
Bandage, you must be seething
:o
The silence eminating from Pairc Carman is quite deafening.
Where is William Murphy, Paud Browne, Larry O’Gorman and Bandage ???
All gone to ground it seems
I presume Bandage will make a big speech at this years AGM and toss his membership card at the fat cats on the top table.
I have no comment to make on the specific story in question. However, I said on another thread when the Nemo Rangers story first broke that clubs are struggling because of reduced sponsorship revenue and less people entering weekly/monthly club draws. I maintained then and I still maintain that clubs are correct to use their facilities for the betterment of the club and that may involve renting them out to replace lost revenue. This complaint probably came from some Clonard or St Martin’s cunt.
Who were the rugby people and why do they not have a pot of their own to piss in?
I find it hard to believe any non-GAA teams used The Pat Murphy Arena.
These progressive Faythe Harriers chaps sound like a cut above. Hopefully more clubs will let local sports team use their pitches and give that cunt Christy Cooney the finger in the process.
