When was the last time we beat Cork in the senior hurling championship? Weāre rank outsiders for Saturday evening but at least we avoided a genuine contender like Clare and are playing one of the lesser counties whoāre at a similar level to ourselves.
19 and 56.
Well said, what odds are ye to win? Might put some money down.
I think our 1-7 lineup is almost certainly to be the following:
Martin;
Moore; OāHanlon; Rossiter;
Stamp; Kenny; Kehoe.
I would like Rossiter to mark Horgan. Even if that means following him to the other corner and moving away from his favoured left corner back position. No fannying around, no leaving a more inexperienced defender to take their most dangerous forward (see Devereux / Dooley) and Dunne should make sure this happens. Moore would be more suited to one of Corkās lighter corner forwards whether itās Coughlan or OāFarrell and OāHanlon can take OāSullivan.
I wouldnāt mind Richie Kehoe playing centre back and Kenny going to the wing. Who are Cork likely to have in the half forward line: Lehane, Cian McCarthy, Cronin? I think our 3 actually match up decently with these lads in terms of size, athleticism, filth. Iām bored now and might think about what way we should lineup from midfield onwards tomorrow.
There would have to be a possibility of Niall Mac starting Iād say. One possibility would be for Cronin to go back to midfield then.
Lee Chin should be hurling midfield for us on Saturday but heāll instead be playing some no mark football game.

[font=Arial]A couple of surprises here. Paul Roche back in for Eoin Moore. Roche has been injured for a lot of this season and I would prefer us to have gone with the younger Moore - maybe heās injured?[/font]
[font=Arial]Banville is back in after playing well against Rathnure in the club championship last midweek. He hasnāt really been a factor in league or championship to date but theyāve perhaps been influenced by Cork not having a settled full back?[/font]
[font=āArialā][color="#333333"]I think Jack Guiney has looked a bit jaded in recent games between senior and U21 but PJ Nolanās broken hand leaves a spot open. [/font]
[font=āArialā][color="#333333"]We could have a number of positional changes from midfield upwards.[/font]
Sub list suggests Eoin Moore is fit:
[size=3][font=Arial]Mark Fanning, [/font][font=Arial]Eoin Moore, [/font][font=Arial]Stephen Murphy, [/font][font=Arial]James Tonks, [/font][font=Arial]Shaun Murphy, [/font][font=Arial]Harry Kehoe, [/font][font=Arial]Eoin Quigley, [/font][font=Arial]Liam Og McGovern, [/font][font=Arial]Aidan Nolan, [/font][font=Arial]Willie Devereux, [/font][font=Arial]Paudge Doran.[/font][/size]
Happy enough with that team with maybe the exception of Sinnott, he hasnāt hurled well at all since against KK in Wexford Park last year. Think PJ is a big loss, although he wasnāt scoring much I taught his work rate was very good.
Do we have any chance at all? Offaly had them on the ropes for 60mins and had the beatings of them, but like the Wexford footballers vs Dub, didnāt know how to finish them off.
Were you at the Cork/Offaly game Gavin.
Wouldnāt at all be keen on the dropping of Moore and think Guiney should have been left on the bench. Not sure about Banville either so a bit dubious about it. Of course, whoās the say that 15 will actually start?
Wexford Junior B Football Championship:
Sarsfields 0-12 Clonard 0-5.
Come on to fuck!
Wexford
Masterson,
Tierney, Molloy, Malone,
Flynn, Murphy Ā©, Chin,
Waters, Bradley,
Roche, Byrne, Brosnan,
Banville, Lyng, Barry.
Whatās the chances thatās the starting 15?
Ffs sake. Some scutter. Were useless but still had ample chances to level it. Why Byrne didnāt fist it over the bar. And masterson cost us 3 points at least with kick outs and messing. Even the goal Iām not sure what he was at. Poor display, no determination in it. Some players were good, but some were awful.
Why didnt the ginger pele start?
Eric or big boc? Eric hasnāt been going great IMO. Byrne did well again when he came on. Red kicked his frees well too.
O Hanlon badly exposed there

Shocking from Martin
We can win this handy if we cut out the stupid errors. All forwards bar Paul Morris have scored from play I think. Best Iāve seen any Wexford team play for a while. They need to believe they can win this.
