have you aspergers or something? why would anyone recall a game as meaningless as that
Wexford hammered the shit out them that day. Griffinâs first championship match in charge.
DJ threw a ball in front of himself and naturally picked it up and scored the winner.
Picky Maher. Class.

It was this goal from Denis Byrne that saved Kilkennyâs bacon. Laois really should have won it.

And so youâre right, youâll note that Carey threw the ball just before the hand pass.
In a totally unrelated incident I was standing directly behind that goal at the time after watching the Wexford game from the stand.

I was there myself that day as well, on the terrace opposite the stand. Kilkennyâs luck well and truly ran out in their next outing in the Leinster Final. Offaly gave them a right hammering in the rain.
The Leinster Final has been hailed as a classic. I canât remember.
I remember the one in '96 though. Oooooh ooooh ooooooh.
The Wexford People reveals that June 7th will mark our first ever hurling championship fixture at Cusack Park, Mullingar.
And we* return there on June 14th for the football quarter final and thatâll be only our third ever football championship clash there - 1989, 1997 and 2001.
I remember listening to Discovery by Daft Punk in the car on the way to that replay in 2001. 
It was a week after the drawn extra time game which was the first match played at the redeveloped Wexford Park. Was 2001 the first year of the football qualifiers? I think that Westmeath match was a qualifier game after weâd already been beaten in Leinster but I may be wrong.
We play Kildare in Newbridge tomorrow night in the Leinster Under 21 hurling quarter final. They get into the main draw by virtue of winning the B championship last year. The winner will meet Offaly or Westmeath in the semi-final.
*I say âweâ but I probably wonât go to it.

Could some bright sparks in the Leinster Council, Wexford County Board and Westmeath County Board not get together and realise that having 2 counties play each other a week apart in the same venue in 2 different codes is maybe not the best for fans and maybe, just maybe, a double header could be a good thing for both counties?
Do qualifier draws dictate this canât happen or what reason am I forgetting that would stop it from happening - general GAA stupidity aside?

Fuckheads.
Thatâs whatâs stopping this from happening, quite infuriatingâŚ

Qualifier schedule doesnât impact things this early in the season and the games could be played together in theory. But I doubt either Wexford manager, for example, would want to change their match date. Dunne probably wouldnât want to play on the 14th as the winner is away to Kilkenny the following week. Educated guesswork but I imagine Power hasnât had the full squad around in recent weeks due to 3 rounds of club hurling and 2 rounds of club football so I reckon he would want the extra week to prepare and wouldnât fancy bringing forward their game to the 7th.
Ollie OâLeary, Eoin Conroy, Liam Ryan, Andrew Kenny, Jack OâConnor, Jim White, Conor Mc, Devitt, PĂĄdraig Foley, and Kevin Foley stay on from last year. Peter Sutton, Shane Murphy, Simon Donohue, Tony Ffrench, Gavin Bailey, James Cash, Sam Kelly, Cathal Dunbar come into the u21 hurling squad all according to Brendan Furlong mind. Joe Coleman broke his thumb vs Rathnure, Iâd personally see him as a big loss.
I HOPE WE DRAW YE
ye are so dead if we do
On another note, Furlong also mentions that there are gonna be changes to the minor championship and Michael OâGrady and Jim Bolger are to look into why the minor hurlers arenât achieving.
Football not mentioned, yet againâŚ

The minor inter county or club? And what football should have been mentioned?
A change to the club to benefit intercounty. And I think itâs a disgrace that nothing is being done to help underage football. Hurlers get bet by Westmeath and itâs seen as an absolute disaster. From what I remember of the strategic plan both codes were equal, that hasnât been the case.
Iâm not sure how they can change the club championship to benefit the county one. The schools competitions are in full flow around January to March, and there are Leinster league (which we are the proud winners of this year) games too at this time. They then squeeze in mid week minor fixtures for a month or so in March before the first round game in the hurling, as well as doing the same for football. I havent read the paper, but I dont see what they can do with the club championship to help the county one. Theyâd be better off having a streamlined club championship, as the way it stands, you could play a first round game in March, and the county final in October.
As for the football, the strategic plan sort of incorporated the football. The plan had 2 advisory boards, a hurling and football one, and it was up to them to plan a path for the future. The hurling produced a pretty detailed recommendation book, and they got some very good ideas and plans out of it (hurling 365 being just one). The football group however made no such plan, and have done very little with regards to any sort of strategic movement. It did change slightly with some new members to it a year or so ago and one of the newer committee members has taken it a lot further than it was before, but it is still lagging far behind. Most of the board groups are hurling based, and that is because there are people in the county willing to do something to help make changes and do work. Same cant be said about the football, too many happy to criticize and blame hurling for its woes. The football needs to be able to fend for itself and worry about improving without the need to be the jealous brother looking at what hurling gets. It just needs to focus on what little resources it does have, and implement changes and improvements where possible.

The footballl was never going to go very far with LOH and PC as the main men to be fair
well only one of those was a fulltime football only coach, and even at that, they had no input or responsibility into the implementation or the structure of any development plan. Quite the opposite in fact, and a lot of those plans produced a few years ago were completed without their input or consultation.
Football is only really getting organised now, itâs about 10 years behind the hurling. Things are looking a lot better though and Iâd be reasonably optimistic about the under-age structures improving in the next few years.
