Managing Gorey too isnāt he? Think he coached them the year they won senior in 2018.
Yeah. We played them in a challenge a few weeks ago and he was over them
How did ye get on in the practice match?
We bet them well. They were a bit disappointing to be honest though they may have been short. McDonald and Dunbarr both played and were daycent but I couldnāt see them winning Wexford with that team
St Martins would be fancied to win Wexford. Youād have to imagine they appointed John Meyler with a challenge for Leinster in mind.

Faythe Harriers 1-14 Fethard 0-11
The Harriers through as group winners.
Derek McGrath working his magic.
Deservedly too. They had a system in place and Fethard couldnt break it down. Got awfully frustrated with the crowding and rucking style and just got far too wound up and didnt hurl at all. Harriers young players really doing well also is a major plus for them. Thrown in at the deep end and swimming brilliantly.

Derek has developed his coaching style obviously
Gale force wind with them in the first half, and played Lee chin in the backs with another spare man alongside him at times. Whatever works, but a better side should be able to pick through it. With that wind, they would have been better served with chin on the square and conventional formation and just go for it. 1-14 tonight and 2-11 the last day is not a score that will win many games (even though they won with both those scores!), so as much as they have their defensive plan in place, they have good forwards to score well in club games. Maybe Derek will push them on though, weāll wait and see the next day.
I sae them in a challenge over a month back. They were woejaysus and conceded 8 goals with a sweeper. Young Scallon and Lawlor were good though. Chin turned it on for 15 mins bit outside of that I was unimpressed. In the meantime I heard they beat Cuala in a challenge.
Surely club challenge results are meaningless in the current situation?
Clubs have never had a better run at it in general. No interference from county teams and fine weather.
Challenge matches are always meaningless.

Swift edit there.
Not arguing that at all. But would assume the results of challenge games are fairly meaningless
Thatās what I said. 
Thatās the quickest Iāve ever seen you move
I heard it was the short sleeve shirt that did the damage again
Gorey sneak a win by a point
