It’s a cod. Disgrace really.

You may ladybird that for me. I thought some random couple from Dublin won it?

A last minute entry

Mac · June 12, 2020, 10:13pm

This @gman. Given their trouble selling tickets throughout it I found it funny how it ended up.

myboyblue · June 12, 2020, 10:16pm

The winner doesn’t exist @gman

Gman · June 12, 2020, 10:30pm

Yeah I’d be interested to know how it went for them. I heard the Carlow one is in bother too with someone saying their ticket wasn’t included.

myboyblue · June 12, 2020, 10:33pm

The Carlow one was a disaster!

I heard today that they made 300k from it which I’d find it hard to believe

The absolute state of the hair on the independent draw observer, ex Wexford hurler David O’Connor, in that picture. My ticket number was very similar to the winning entry, but I wouldn’t begrudge Jessica her victory. A genuine feel good story, she was overwhelmed afterwards on South East Radio. She had been saving with her partner and trying to get enough for a house deposit for years. What a decision to divert some of that money to Faythe Harriers.

Willie Cleary is a great man. Hearing him talking about Hurling 365 is amazing. Such common sense and cop on. His enthusiasm is infectious.

Fat_Pox · June 26, 2020, 3:02pm

That was a really good listen. Wexford hurling are putting down a solid foundation.

Bandage · June 30, 2020, 8:06pm

Lovely to see Sack and Chinner on the news.

Perez2017 · July 1, 2020, 12:12pm

Are faythe harriers any good?

Aertel220 · July 1, 2020, 1:23pm

They were in a senior relegation final last year but have a good crop of young players coming through who have won a Feile in 2016 and Premier Minor last year.

The Derek effect

Ashman · July 1, 2020, 2:26pm

Is Sack related to Billy Walsh ??

Ashman · July 1, 2020, 2:27pm

Doesn’t Richie Lalor play for them ??

Aertel220 · July 1, 2020, 2:57pm

Yes. Think they had a few on the Leinster minor winning team last year. Very reliant on Chin in recent years but they’ve managed to stay up in senior and should improve now.

Bandage · July 1, 2020, 3:11pm

Don’t think so unless it’s a distant, his ma and his ma are second cousins type thing. They’re the same vintage and would have hurled together with the Harriers and played football with the Sarsfields.

Richie Lawlor, Kyle Scallan (Chin’s first cousin) and Josh Shiel started for the Wexford minors last year. A couple more on the panel. The challenge with town teams is bringing these lads through.

The current senior team probably lack depth and don’t have enough lads in their peak years. They’ve also changed the management a lot. Hopefully a couple of these younger lads can make an impact. I presume the pandemic hasn’t halted the plans to have Derek McGrath involved in an advisory role - Brian Carroll’s tweet suggests he might be involved anyway. His input wouldn’t do any harm.
