Wexford V Kilkenny Leinster S.H.C Semi Final, 7pm Saturday 10th June, Innovate Wexford Park

Are they fuck. They’ve spent the whole week talking down their chances.

Exactly there ex players have been in the papers all week.

Drove in through Clonard and on by the park this morning. The tension and expectation in the area is palpable.

The Park is in magnificent condition.

The sun is shining.

We’re ready.

That’s probably just the St Peter’s chaps all nervous about Maths Paper 1 later.

Last time Kilkenny went into a game in as poor a position. ( in the opinion of the public) was 1998 when Dublin were expected to turn them over in Parnell Park.

Kilkenny won 4-28 to 1-11.

Wasn’t that the return of DJ after his earlier retirement? In Parnell Park too - edit, you’ve mentioned the venue

The worst thing for Wexford would be if they annihilated Kilkenny, two soft games leading up to a meeting with a strong physical team like Galway won’t do them any good. Hopefully Kilkenny manage to stay with them and battle for around 55 minutes, before Wexfords superior hurling and fitness sees them pull away comfortably.

Who were they? I presume Eamonn Morrissey was one. Who was the other?

Was it Jamesie Brennan?

Correct. I just googled it there

That’s him.

Aye, and between them they accounted for 8 of the 14 points scored by Dublin.

I’d be fully behind Wexford if anybody other than that midget fuck Davy fitz was over them. Hopefully Kilkenny win by 35 points.

Jackie’s article in the Irish Times today is good. In fairness he gives a good insight into what life is like under Cody, what way they prepared themselves etc.

Collectively, our attitude was: “We have Wexford by the throat and they’re under the water now – keep their head down until there’s no more bubbles.”

Jeysuz, they make the Underwood’s look like lambs!
