2014 Squad

[ForzaForth]

Reports on Twitter that the Youths have started pre-season today. Not sure where it's on. If anyone has any news of the players that have turned up, would love to hear it.

[ForzaForth]

Thomas Croke has signed for Waterford according to his Twitter.

[ForzaForth]

Gary Delaney also confirmed for Waterford with rumours of Shaun Corcoran, the Nolan twins (Shane and Brian Nolan) and Joey Mulcahy also going the same way. Looks like heavy traffic on the N25!

[ForzaForth]

Brian Nolan now confirmed as having signed for Waterford for 2014.

[Youths4Ever]

That makes 5 confirmed with at least one more to go massive rebuilding effort will be needed

[ForzaForth]

Time to get the gear washed, I think. Don't have colouredy boots though .....

[passingview]

any friendlies lined up over the next couple of weeks? thought they might have one against the wexford oscar traynor side

[cornflakes]

Any word on new players or who hasn't gone to Waterford? Heard Danny Furlong will be back

[ForzaForth]

First major training session takes place on Saturday. Have heard that Graham Doyle is ok for goal. Have heard also that Danny Furlong has been rumoured, as has Conor Sinnott. Danny Fitz and Daryl Power have both confirmed on Twitter that they are attending. Have also seen that a player each from Waterford and Longford are planning to attend, both former U19s, I think.

Haven't heard anything as yet in regard to friendlies.

is the under 19 plyr Aaron Brilly by any chance?

[ForzaForth]

Martinho

Yeah, i think that's him. Has he two legs - he's in!

[ForzaForth]

Evidence of major pre-season training session at Ferrycarrig today when I called with two small pitches set up etc. Unfortunately, didn't see any players as they were all in the clubhouse possibly getting a talk from Shane Keegan but I counted 22 cars outside. Sorry I can't provide more info.

[cornflakes]

Not good enough Forza

We want names!

[ForzaForth]

You're right, Cornflakes - no pay for me this week. The players seemed to be in one of the dressingrooms downstairs. There also seemed to be a couple of people working on the viewing area upstairs but as it's often used for starting road or cycle races, it may have been for that. Noted also that one of the turnstiles had toppled over and that two of the steel panels surrounding the pitch had come down. There was also a tractor moving barriers round the place.

Cop car parked outside the Ferrycarrig hotel when I passed. Lethal place for getting caught.

[Youths4Ever]

Some pics in supporters club page on facebook of training some familiar places seem to be have been there CJ, Jimmy Dermody and Graham Doyle

Was he the previous under 19 captain as guy at preseason was former Longford under 19 captatin
What position does he play?

[Longfordian]

That's him yeah. Plays midfield or full back. Good little player, but he is small.

Thanks looked like he was holding his own yesterday

[passingview]

any lads from wexford oscar traynor team on trial? heard they are quite good with some nice players - do they have any friendlies or games coming up?

[Splurge]

3/3 Daragh Walshe, Danny Furlong, Dean Broaders, Graham Delaney
2/3 Stephen Last, CJ Browne, Shane Nolan, Shane Dunne, Ricky Fox, Craig Wall, Eric Molloy, Rocks Keenan, Sean Skelly,Danny Fitz
1/3 The club are delighted to announce the following players have signed for the 2014 Season Graham Doyle, Craig McCabe, Jimmy Dermody,

[ForzaForth]

Excellent, Splurge, thanks.

Three new names for me - Stephen Last, Sean Skelly & Shane Dunne.

[atfconline]

All ex-Athlone. Last at the back, Dunne in midfield and Skelly a forward.

Last & Dunne were expected to be kept on by Roddy when he came in, but they disappeared for some reason. Skelly was an Irish Schools International a few years ago, and is a brother of Austin.

Out of interest how many of them are Wexford natives or come up through the ranks having played with the Youths. I seem to remember a few people being a little disgruntled with the lack of local lads in the Wexford team the last year or two.

Also is Conor Sinnott signing on? Seen his name linked in the last week or so

17man squad announced, fixtures out tomorrow
Graham Doyle, Craig McCabe, Jimmy Dermody, Stephen Last, CJ Browne, Shane Nolan, Shane Dunne, Ricky Fox, Craig Wall, Eric Molloy, Aidan Keenan, Sean Skelly, Danny Fitzpatrick, Daragh Walshe, Danny Furlong, Dean Broaders, Graham Delaney.

Looks a lot better than i feared it might, shame Conor Sinnot isnt in.

[ForzaForth]

Gufc

Of the 17, those from Wexford or having come through the Youths would be Craig McCabe, Ricky Fox, Danny Fitzpatrick and Danny Furlong.

Jimmy Dermody, Daragh Walshe, Eric Molloy and CJ Browne are all ex-FC Carlow where Shane Keegan previously managed. Graham Doyle and Deano Broaders are both ex-Freebooters in Kilkenny. Graham Delaney is from Carlow as well but I don't think he played for Carlow but Hanover Harps and Shamrock Rovers. Aidan Keenan is from Laois. Shane Nolan is from Waterford. Craig Wall has played for us for a couple of seasons but got bad injuries twice - not really sure of his footballing background, however.

I am glad Conor Sinnot is not in and would not like to see him back no doubting his football ability but I don't believe he is a team player and from what seen in past when things get tough he does not react well

Shane Nolan may not be from Waterford but he technical came through the ranks and played at underage for the club this will be his 5th season with Wexford

Cant have been the money that made them sign for us :p

yeah, i've allways wondered about that side of him aswell but i was hoping he'd be back and matured a bit

[Martinho II]

Sean Skelly was with us in 2011/12 season until he was let go halfway through the season. Where did Youths sign him from? He didnt impress with us at all to be honest.

[ForzaForth]

Martinho

According to Extratime, he was with Tolka Rovers (LSL) last year.

[cornflakes]

Good to see Furlong back. Be interesting to see who else signs up, I presume Brandon O'Callaghan and Daryl Power will be added to the squad too.

[Youths4Ever]

Daryl is injured and currently signed to the under 19 so would have no doubts there. Brandon was at pre season but there was another keeper there as well so maybe then are looking at someone else but I hope Brandon does sign up

[ForzaForth]

Have heard rumour that Anto Russell is to rejoin. Played with us up to a few years ago, including the famous first match against Monaghan in March 2007. Would be good addition as he's experienced and would give us a third centre half.

[ForzaForth]

Nathan West, ex Waterford and Shamrock Rovers, has signed for the Youths according to his own and Wexford Youth tweets. I think he's a forward.

[ForzaForth]

According to Wexford Youths tweets, Peter Higgins, Kilian Cantwell and Ben Ryan have signed, all ex-Waterford. Ben Ryan was with us before and is a very useful performer.

[Dermotron]

Tom Elmes back with Wexford this season?

[ForzaForth]

Dermotron

Tom switched to coaching midway through last season and I don't think we'll see him in this year's squad.

[ForzaForth]

Johnny St Ledger has signed according to his Twitter account. Former Waterford U19.

[ForzaForth]

Brandon O'Callaghan, Jason McHugh, Danny Fitzpatrick and Graham Delaney have been released according to the club's website. None of them has featured much this year. Best of luck to them.

[Youths4Ever]

Daragh Walshe, Ricky Fox and C.J. Browne released this week
