2021 Season

[ForzaForth]

Second signing announced by Wexford is Evan Farrell from our U17 side. Evan previously played with Forth Celtic. Kieran Murphy from Ferns who has also come up through the Wexford FC ranks was our first signing. Good to see players moving from level to level within the club.

Jack Doherty returns to Wexford for the 2021 season according to the club's website. My player of the season in 2020 so good to see him back.

Am I taking this wrong Forza but is Jack Doherty yer all time top scorer in the loi for ye?

[ForzaForth]

Jack would be our record goalscorer only since 2017. But Danny Furlong would be way out in front with over 100 league goals the vast majority of which were scored with Wexford Youths/Wexford FC.

Jack Larkin, who was on loan from Waterford with us last season, is now confirmed for the 2021 season according to the club's website.

[ForzaForth]

With thanks to the Drogheda commentary, 0-0 at half-time between the home side and Wexford. One decent effort apiece and two shouts for penos by Drogheda neither of which were given.

[ForzaForth]

Final score: Drogheda 1, Wexford 0 with a late OG by Wexford making the difference. Wexford had three triallists on view.

Since everyone else has a cross-channel loan signing, Wexford have just announced the signing of Luke Turner on loan from Aberdeen (previously with Shamrock Rovers).

Also, Harry Groome signed from Shels. A tidy player by all accounts.

[ForzaForth]

Two more loans announced for Wexford: Kyle Robinson from Pats and Alex O'Hanlon from Shels.

[ForzaForth]

Friendly result from Tuesday evening: Shels 4, Wexford 1.

[ForzaForth]

With thanks to Wexford FC's Twitter account, friendly result from tonight: Wexford 0, Galway 4. Unfortunately, the game was blown up right at the end due to an injury to an unnamed Galway player. Hopefully, he'll recover quickly.

Is the chosen route for the upgraded N11 the one that goes through the Wexford FC grounds? I think I remember that being a possibility? Possibly I imagined it or it was one of the other options!

[ForzaForth]

Thanks, Passinginterest. Well worth raising this. The new preferred route for the N11 motorway extension from Oylegate to Rosslare seems to run between the existing N11 and the minor road from Kyle Cross which is parallel to the current N11 and which provides the entrance to the ground. Looking at Google maps, there isn't much space between the two roads concerned other than our two pitches. You could easily see at least one of our two pitches, presumably the second pitch, being eliminated by the new road and some sort of tunnel to give access to the main pitch and existing clubhouse.

I presume the club will fight this to the utmost extent possible. If the development goes ahead, you'd assume we'd get compensation for the land given up which might allow us to develop a second pitch elsewhere.
