Didn’t look injured, had scored a point form play I think, took of Kevin O’ Grady fairly early too, which I thought was strange
is there a fwds coach?
Heading down to the sunny south east on Sunday for the Limerick game in the league. Watched most of the Walsh cup final and Dublin looked to have a lot more spring in their step. Full back line very good under high ball in but were beaten most of the time in a race to a good low ball into the corner. Wexford half forward line seemed to be well dominated by the Dublin half back line leaving them plenty of time to play good ball into the forwards.
Some of the wides especially in the 1st half were very poor bit wind blowing across in front of the hill may have been a factor,
Wil we see much of the same panel on Sunday and how many do ye reckon will get decent game time in the championship. Thought Ryan Reck and Oisin Foley played well enough on Saturday
Hearing reports now that the hurlers had a hard training session on Friday night.
Can’t beat a good old heavy training session before a match

I’d say it’s horse shit only for the performance…
Harry Hehoe calling time on intercounty career. Was in the squad and came on vs Kilkenny 2 weeks ago.
I wondered if he was told he wasn’t being kept on when I read it

be hard to know whether it was him realising that a load of young lads are coming through for that late depth panel squad type player and he would only end up losing out really over it all. Considering the amount of players Egan has brought in and got game time into, be hard to be an older player already on the periphery and not going to make much inroads. David Dunne another somewhat similar type.

Except he’s only about 27 or 28 I think
Panel is being cut down this week so I suspect Harry was rightly given the respect to announce his own departure, there since 2009 so deservedly getting the recognition.
yeah thats why somewhat similar, but I think he could find himself getting pushed out too when he is about to start on the wrong side of his peak years. He’ll probably tip away for another year or 2 if he doesnt start getting any more meaningful game time. Hard to keep going at county level. The likes of Dunbar and Dwyer have gone past Dunne in the pecking order I reckon and a few younger lads like Lawlor and Casey could be moving up the line too. And thats only in depth, not even starting.

Dunne… Another lad wasted on that hurling panel.
Always thought him more of an impact sub when we needed a goal. He was nowhere near one of the best six forwards available after the end of the Liam Dunne era.
He would have been a mainstay on the team from 2007-2013.

Good to see the end of that joint captain bullshit

Only part of that was when the two boys were parading at front of team for leinster finals, looked stupid, other than that, harmless.
Have to tolerate the Wexford townie accent if we win anything now.
We’ll miss the dulcet tones of the Hook Peninsula accent. Sad times.
I think this could be the precursor to losing some game time. We’ll see.
