Quotecant c any u 18's in squad yet for a while but a few of them will be seen in squad in time 2 come. it would b nice if wallace got the 18's to show their cup before the match this friday nite.
Friday night 7.30PM Wexford Youths v Shelbourne.
Should be a great crowd and hopefully the first signs of an atmosphere developing.
Not going to make the game myself but I have a feeling it might just be a cracker. The lads will be really up for it after a tired performance against Kilkenny and the collapse in Dundalk.
I can see it finishing 1-1 although I'd love to see us snatch the win. Any chance of some of the under 18 lads appearing in the squad? Kyle Dempsey is massivley rated by Wallace and seems to have a real eye for goal, and the keeper sounds very impressive too, loads of clean sheets and man of the match in the final.

Heard the lads played a game during training under the new lights last night, so they've been tried and tested and are raring to go!
Can't make it myself either on Fri, but i'm hoping for a win obviously. The lads will be looking to bounce back hard after Dundalk last week and lets hope they can. Stuuy Lawlor is back in light training but won't figure friday night. Heard good things about Kyle Dempsey too but i don't think it'd be very fair to the rest of the squad to start introducing under 18's at such an early stage of the season. Once Johnny or Liam get their first goals i'd say it'll boost their confidence no end.
Here's hoping for a good game friday night. Come on Youths!
"People say football is a matter of life and death, I believe it is much more important than that".
None of the 18's could play yet anyway seen as they're all signed up with Junior clubs. They'd have to wait until transfer window opens I presume, but even then I doubt there will be any joining the squad at that stage.
And yeah Lee Walker played excellently in the final. Only 2 of the clean sheets are his though, other 3 belong to Pa Doyle, Wallace alternated keepers up until the final....we were spoiled for choice! Doyle is U-18 again next year but Lee will be overage.
I'm looking forward to this game aswell, should be a cracker. I hope Shels bring down a good support because they'll surely add some atmosphere if they do. Haven't seen the lights in action yet but from what I've heard they're the best around.
Thanks for the info Forza. Not sure how the transfer window affects players coming from junior sides but your probably right. Would I be right in thinking a lot of this under 18 team will be involved with the under 21 league side? As far as I know playing in this dosen't affect their junior status. It's due to start in June as far as I know and a few teams are playing friendlies already.

I don' really know about the transfer window either, but I doubt Kyle would be let join now anyways.........North End are fighting relegation in the mens and chasing a double in the youths!
I don't think playing U21 affects Junior status either. A few of the Galway lads from Sunday were from Salthill-Devon and played on their U21 cup winning team last year. Hopefully a good few of the U18's will be involved anyway, it kinda seems like a natural progression. A lot of the squad are still U18 next year though.
the transfer window does affect junior players that is why the likes of mossy mahon who is on ajax books cant for wexford youths until window opens and can be registered
Ah yeah sure forgot about that.Originally Posted by wexfordseagull
Who else would any of ye take from the Junior League? Leighton Gleeson is the only one that sticks out for me really.
anthony o connor wex bohs, fran hore, has played at top level in dublin & jason malone Patsy's brother, park hotspur we could also do with carlos ex u 21 international we need strikers
Peter Marsden from park hotspur,unreal player.Dont think he wanted to go for the team do.Would start no boder up front
Jay Malones salso a great player
Mick Wallace's black and white army
Anthony O'Connor was invited but couldn't commit. And for all you sad, misguided Hotspur fans, Carlos is playing for Duncannon.
A few of us are getting the train down, which is the best station to jump off at regards closeness to the ground itself?!
Who Cares?!
The closest station is in Wexford Town, but the ground is about three miles away so you'll need to get a taxi.
Cheers.
Who Cares?!
There are a few Reds getting the 4.00 bus down, where would be the best place for them to jump off?
Cheers in advance.
Who Cares?!
If you ask nicely the driver might drop you off on the N11 at the ground. It'd be a good walk to the main entrance to the ground from there, but I think it's possible to hop the fence.
If not best thing is get off at the train station in Wexford town and get a taxi. If the bus is still as slow as it used to be I'd say it'll be cutting it fine to make kick off.

I notice the website is showing the kick off time as 8:00 now. I presume that's correct!
If that's the case they should be OK for time.
Probably put it back because it's the bank holiday weekend.
Anyone who has ever driven to Wexford on the Friday evening of a bank holiday weekend will appreciate the fact that it's an absolute nightmare.

Any idea what kind of crowd will be there lads?
Anyone hazard a guess for the scoreline?
I think this could be our first away win of the season, 2-1 maybe but I reckon it could be a 1-1 draw!
Who Cares?!
