Wexford CBS....26 Tullow CS.....10
The Bokerboys were firmly in control of this tie and when Ruairi Devereux scored in the corner after five minutes, the signs looked good. Eoin Roche was in fine form and kicked the conversion from the touchline. 7-0. Eoin was involved again on fifteen minutes and finished off a fine move, again he added the extra points. 14-0. Steve Roche crossed the line but was judged to have been held up. Wexford again attacked out wide and a flowing move was finished by Ruairi Devereux in the corner. 19-0
Collie Joyce-Ahearne scored after eight minutes of the second half, which Birthday Boy converted. 26-0. Cruising now, Wexord made some excellent line breaks but did not execute the final pass. They then went through a period of 'laying off' and allowed Tullow a try on 25 minutes. Tullow rallied again and crossed one more time, with the final play.
Wexford can be happy with the tough workout and we have plenty to work on when we train on Monday.
We face DLS Churchtown in Wexford on Wednesday next at 2.00pm.

South Leinster Senior Hurling ‘C’ Final
Wexford CBS............2-16 Wicklow Schools.........0-5
An excellent defensive performance coupled with a remarkable seven point haul from play by Eoin Roche propelled Wexford CBS to a comfortable victory over Wicklow Schools in the South Leinster Senior Hurling ‘C’ final at Bellefield last Tuesday.
This result means Wexford CBS will compete in the Leinster Schools Senior Hurling ‘B’ championship next year and they will take on North Leinster champions Scoil Mhuire (Clane) in the Leinster semi-final next February.
CBS, coached by Fr. Brian Whelan and Willie Carley junior, could have had a super start when Ian Moran cut through the Wicklow defence and passed to Joe McBride who saw his stinging shot rebound off the crossbar. The Wexford defence quickly got on top of their opponents and led by Ciaran Kirwan they totally dominated proceedings.
It was Kirwan who picked out Sean Stafford for the opening score – a point – after three minutes. The first goal arrived soon afterwards and when Kirwan found Ian Moran who lashed the ball to the net.

Joe McBride was
denied again (this time by the keeper) on ten minutes but Sean Stafford
followed up to tap it over and make the score 1-2 to nil.
Wicklow Schools
(made up of all secondary schools in County Wicklow apart from Colaiste Bhride
in Carnew) were struggling to contain the Boker boys at this stage. However,
Joe Coleman sent a screamer to the top right hand corner of the net in the 25th
minute which put CBS 2-7 to 0-1 in front and this gave the Wexford students a
considerable cushion.
Eoin Roche scored three of his seven points in the first half which helped his team-mates go in at the break ahead by 2-9 to 0-1.
Wicklow were awarded a 21 yard free early in the second half which was saved and cleared while at the other end after nice passing Eoin Roche opened the scoring with his fourth point and captain Jamie McDonnell raced through to tap over shortly afterwards.
Wicklow Schools never gave up but they couldn’t find a way through the CBS rearguard well marshalled by Ciaran Kirwan and Evan Dunbar. All of their points came from frees except one from play by midfielder Padraig Doyle.
All of the CBS forwards scored as well as both midfielders which is a testament to the dominance they exerted over their opposition. After the game Leinster Council’s Pat Henderson presented the trophy to CBS captain Jamie McDonnell.
After losing South Leinster finals in juvenile and junior in recent years, this victory is a reward to the players for their continued improvement and dedication. A major factor in this victory is that ten of the team are on the Combined Schools panel.

Senior Hurling - South Leinster 'C' Semi-Final
Wexford CBS......................3-21
New Ross VC...............0-6
This South Leinster Schools Senior Hurling ‘C’ semi-final in Pairc
Charman was competitive for the first ten minutes. Then Wexford CBS took a
foothold in the game and went on to dominate
their opponents and clinch a place in the South Leinster final.
The New Ross men backboned by Kilkenny minor Alan Murphy, his brother Shane and club colleague Philip Roche couldn’t handle the home side’s better balance.
The New Ross men backboned by Kilkenny minor Alan Murphy, his brother Shane and club colleague Philip Roche couldn’t handle the home side’s better balance.
CBS led at the break by 3-9 to 0-3 with goals coming from Mikey
Coleman, his cousin Joe Coleman and the third from John Forde following a
strong run from centre-back Ciaran Kirwan.
Indeed Kirwan very adequately handled Alan Murphy who was switched
to centre-field after 20 minutes where Jamie McDonnell hurled very well on the
Kilkenny man.
The Wexford students scored some lovely points in the first half with Joe Coleman, Eoin Roche and Joe McBride impressing.
On the restart, CBS kept their foot on the gas and reeled off points from Joe Coleman (2), Sean Stafford, Ian Moran and a neat brace from Rob Donnelly.
Alan Murphy was New Ross VC’s scoring threat and four of his six points came from placed balls. Brad Cohen made a smart save at the expense of a ’65 which was converted but there was no way back as CBS added the points and ran out winners by a comfortable margin.

Senior Soccer
Wexford C.B.S....2 Bridgetown V.S....0
On
Friday 15th of November the senior soccer side of Wexford CBS
finished out their group campaign with a 100% record after a real battle down
in Bridgetown. The result puts the Bokerboys straight into the Semi-Finals of
the competition and they will be unlikely to be in action before the Christmas
holidays.
Wexford
CBS were missing a number of their regular starting players from this season. Bridgetown
started the game in determined fashion and looked to put the Bokerboys under
pressure from the start. They had the better of the games early exchanges but
found the CBS defence in defiant form as they have been in every game this
season, during this period Joe Coleman had to tip one long range effort wide of
the post. Bridgetown were very physical in this early period and it took the
CBS a bit of time to settle and find their rhythm, on their first real attack
Cian Doyle broke well down the left wing beating two players before passing to
Richie Kearney who unleashed a swerving effort from outside the box which beat
the keeper but crashed off the crossbar and Bridgetown cleared the danger. The
game was proving to be a really tough affair with neither side really getting
on top; Bridgetown lost their influential captain midway through the first half.
Best for the CBS at this point was Cian Doyle who was causing the home side all
sorts of problems with his marauding runs down the left flank. As the game wore
on the CBS got their passing game going and had a good ten minute spell. Cian
Doyle again made a dangerous run down the left wing beating 3 players before
finding Kearney with a neat pass Kearney laid the ball into the path of
onrushing midfielder Ian Moran who hit a powerful goalbound effort which took a
deflection before beating the keeper to give the CBS the lead. Before the end
of the half Bridgetown did manage to fashion a very good chance some good work
down the right wing, and their right winger sent in a dangerous cross and a
defensive mix up saw two CBS defenders compete for the same ball which fell to
the back post and an unmarked Bridgetown player fired narrowly over as the CBS
were let off.
In
the second half, Bridgetown came out determined to get nack into the game and
very nearly did, as a well struck effort from just outside the box hit the
wrong side of the post before going wide. Wexford CBS responded to this wake-up
call and really started to get on top in terms of possession as they passed the
ball with real purpose. Within 5 minutes they had doubled their lead, Ian Moran
won a freekick on the edge of the box, up stepped Richie Kearney and his effort
was saved but fumbled by Bridgetown’s keeper, Eoghan Whitty was quickly on hand
to finish from close range 2-0 Wexford CBS. The CBS dominated most of the
second half and created some good openings but could found their route to goal often
blocked down by determined defending, and even after that Bridgetown’s keeper
was in fine form. Richie Kearney thought he had finally opened his account
after some fine work down the right wing from Lar Stoutt and Eoghan Whitty but
his close range effort was spectacularly tipped over for a corner. Jamie
MacDonnell and Sean Stafford were driving the team forward from the middle as
the CBS looked to add a third. Substitute Jessie Farrell came close also but
his effort was well blocked. Bridgetown did their best to get back in the game
and threw everything forward but their efforts found no reward as the CBS
repelled every attack. A very good win for the CBS after a really physical
contest against a resilient Bridgetown side. The Bokerboys now advance to the
semi-final stage of the competition with 3 wins from 3. So far this team has
shown remarkable team strength and will again need to dig deep in order to
continue to progress in the competition. Best for the CBS on the day were Jamie
MacDonnell, Eoghan Whitty, Cian Doyle and man of the match Lar Stoutt.

Juvenile Football
Wexford CBS.....9-12 Scoil Chonglais (Baltinglass)...4-06
Wexford CBS’s juvenile footballers made
the long journey up to Baltinglass recently and recorded a comprehensive
victory over Scoil Chonglais Baltinglass in the South Leinster ‘C’ Championship.
Baltinglass started the strongest and scored three goals within the first five
minutes. However, this Baltinglass dominance was short-lived and Jordan Hayes
opened the CBS scoring with two fine points before striding through the Baltinglass
defence to score a great goal.
The visitors were now in the ascendancy
and Luke Dowdall raised the green flag again with a great fisted goal from Jack
O’Leary’s long pass. Kallum Broaders added a third goal with a delightful chip
over the Baltinglass goalkeeper and it was now one way traffic for the Boker
Boys. Baltinglass could not contain Jordan Hayes as the St. Martin’s man kicked
three superb points before Kallum Broaders scored his second goal.
A great passing move up the left wing
led to a another great goal from centre-forward Luke Dowdall before Jordan
Hayes cut through the Wicklow defence for a second time to add a second goal to
his tally. Wexford CBS’s seventh goal of the first half was a brilliant soccer
style finish into the bottom left corner of the Baltinglass goal from Cian
Foley. As the whistle was blown for the break Wexford CBS were leading by 7-6
to 3-2.
Despite Wexford CBS’s overwhelming half-time
lead the home side showed great spirit at the start of the second half and
scored a goal and three points without reply. The Wicklow student had the
majority of possession and could have had more scores on
the scoreboard were it not for resolute defending by Jamie Thomas, Ben McMahon
and Gary Hall-Roche.
This mini revival of Baltinglass was
short-lived though as once again the Boker Boys began to dominate. Against a
strong breeze the Wexford town lads notched a further three points through
Jordan Hayes, Phil Rawson and Cathal Kirwan. Fifteen minutes into the second
half, Jordan Hayes was once again the danger man as he was pulled down on the
edge of the square and he coolly converted the resulting penalty.
Five minutes later Hayes scored his fourth goal with a great strike just before Luke Dowdall pointed from his right foot. Baltinglass did have one last goal chance just before the final whistle but their effort was heroically blocked down by Wexford captain Jack O’Leary.
Best for the CBS were Cathal Kirwan, Jamie Thomas, Jack O’Leary, Luke Dowdall, Cian Foley and Kallum Broaders and man of the match Jordan Hayes with a personal tally of 4-6.

Wexfoed C.B.S....1 Gorey C.S......3
On
Thursday 7th of November Wexford CBS came out second best after a
tough encounter with reigning all-Ireland champions Gorey C.S on the school
grounds. The game displayed some wonderful football from both sides in poor
conditions as a strong wind had a major effect on the game, but the Bokerboys
will feel that they may well have deserved more from the game.
The
game began brightly and the CBS looked to take the game to the away side with
Jessie Farrell and Dylan Dixon linking well up front but unable to force any
real chances as Gorey were defending well. Gorey did manage to break forward
against the strong wind and strike an effort off the crossbar. The game was
proving to be a real battle in midfield with both sides doing what they could
to get on top in the game. On 20 minutes Wexford CBS were awarded a penalty as
a Gorey defender blocked a corner kick with his arm, Jessie Farrell stepped up
but his penalty was well saved from Gorey’s Irish u-16 international
goalkeeper. Gorey finally made the breakthrough in this tense game 5 minutes
later as a well delivered free kick was met at the back post for a neat finish
to put Gorey ahead. The CBS managed to level the scores within ten minutes
after the move of the first half Jessie Farrell controlled a sweeping ball and
found Dylan Dixon with a pass, Dixon flicked on for onrushing midfielder and
Eoin MacDonald who finished well low into the far corner from the edge of the
box to leave the sides level at half time.
In
the second half Gorey with the wind at their backs really took the game to the
home side and for the first 15 minutes were easily the better team, however
they were finding chances hard to come by as the Bokerboys defended well.
Jessie Farrell almost gave CBS a lead against the run of play as his long range
effort clipped the top of the crossbar before going over. Ten minutes into the
second half they did manage to put themselves ahead after the CBS failed to
clear a cross and their number 8 managed to poke home a close range finish. CBS
responded well and took the game to their opponents but the Gorey defence was
in no mood to relinquish their lead. Gorey doubled their advantage midway
through the second half, the CBS were complaining as they felt they deserved a
free during the build-up which wasn’t given, allowing Goreys central midfielder
a clear run on goal his effort was well saved by Shane McGrath, and some sloppy
defending left nobody picking up Goreys left winger who scored from close
range. The Bokerboys did respond well and for the last ten minutes put real
pressure on the Gorey defence, Gorey were resolute and their keeper managed to
pull off two exceptional saves before the final whistle. Substitutes Dylan
Ennis and Gary Cullen did have an impact as the CBS got back into the game.
A
very good game of football was played and on the balance of play the better
side won the game, but the CBS will rue that missed penalty, at this level you
cannot afford not to take chances. CBS now await the result between Gorey and
Bridgetown to see if they qualify for the next stage of the competition where
they should face Arklow CBS away. Best for the CBS were
keeper Shane McGrath Alex Bergin and Emmett Sinnott who defended well
throughout, John Hamilton in midfield and Jessie Farrell up front.

South Leinster Juvenile Football 'C' Championship
Wexford CBS.......6-04 St. Kevin’s College (Dunlavin).....0-
10
Torrential rain and a strong wind made for difficult conditions for the rest of
the first half but the CBS men rose above the elements. Phil Rawson raised the
green flag again for the Wexford students with a clinical finish.
Jordan Hayes broke through the Dunlavin rear-guard on two separate occasions to score two great goals. Just before the half time whistle, Phil Rawson notched another goal and Wexford CBS had built up an unassailable lead of 5-02 to 0-03.
Despite the one-sided first half Dunlavin started the stronger in the second half, scoring four points before Leon Nolan got the home side’s first score of the half with a great point from the outside of his left boot. However, the men from the Garden County now had a greater share of procession but courageous defending from Cathal Kirwan, Ben McMahon and Jamie Thomas meant no goal opportunities came their way.
After a period of sustained Dunlavin pressure which yielded a further three points, Phil Rawson continued his scoring exploits with a fine point. This point proved to inspire Wexford CBS and a great passing move down the right side of the field cumulated in a fisted goal by Leon Nolan. In the dying moments, goalkeeper Adam Howlin denied Dunlavin a goal with a top-drawer save as the CBS recorded a welcome victory.
Best for Wexford CBS were Jamie Thomas, Ben McMahon, Jack O’Leary, Adam Dempsey, Jordan Hayes and man of the match Phil Rawson.

Jordan Hayes broke through the Dunlavin rear-guard on two separate occasions to score two great goals. Just before the half time whistle, Phil Rawson notched another goal and Wexford CBS had built up an unassailable lead of 5-02 to 0-03.
Despite the one-sided first half Dunlavin started the stronger in the second half, scoring four points before Leon Nolan got the home side’s first score of the half with a great point from the outside of his left boot. However, the men from the Garden County now had a greater share of procession but courageous defending from Cathal Kirwan, Ben McMahon and Jamie Thomas meant no goal opportunities came their way.
After a period of sustained Dunlavin pressure which yielded a further three points, Phil Rawson continued his scoring exploits with a fine point. This point proved to inspire Wexford CBS and a great passing move down the right side of the field cumulated in a fisted goal by Leon Nolan. In the dying moments, goalkeeper Adam Howlin denied Dunlavin a goal with a top-drawer save as the CBS recorded a welcome victory.

South Leinster Senior Hurling ‘C’ Quarter-final
Wexford
CBS........................4-13 Colaiste
Bhride Carnew..............3-8
After a particularly tough 60 minutes of hurling against Colaiste Bhride of Carnew the seniors of Wexford CBS progressed to the semi-final of the South Leinster Senior ‘C’ championship in Pairc Charman last Tuesday. The home side led by 2-7 to 2-1 at the break after enjoying the benefit of the wind and it was a much improved second half performance which ensured the victory.
Sean Stafford opened the scoring for the CBS but they were rocked when Carnew full-forward John Fleming of Craanford rifled a 21 yard free to the net. A second point from Stafford and another from Joe Coleman levelled matters after ten minutes.
Jamie McDonnell was bundled over for Joe Coleman to convert the free
before Coleman split the posts from a tight angle to push CBS 0-5 to 1-3 in
front. The home side’s first goal came courtesy of Mikey Coleman’s on 18
minutes. Sean Stafford’s shot was saved by the keeper but Coleman followed up
and pulled the ball to the net.
Rob Donnelly passed to Joe McBride and he lashed to the net with a
neat finish to leave the score at 2-7 to 1-1 after 25 minutes but Fleming
repeated his earlier feat of netting from a free before half-time to leave the
situation tense for CBS at the break with just a six point lead.
Carnew had the better start to the second half and four converted
frees from John Fleming put them right back in contention. However, two Joe
Coleman points, one from a free, settled CBS and Rob Donnelly scored his first
goal after 49 minutes as the Wexford lads began to pull away.
Nicky Lawlor did all the hard work for Sean Stafford to grab a point
and Donnelly’s fourth goal seemed to knock the stuffing out of Carnew. However,
they refused to let go and scored their third goal on 53 minutes but CBS had
the last say when Eoin Roche, Sean Stafford (long range free) and Joe Coleman
put the ball over the bar.
Next up for CBS is a home semi-final versus New Ross V.C.

Senior Soccer
Gorey C.S....1 Wexford C.B.S.....3
On
Tuesday the 16th of October the senior soccer side of Wexford CBS
came away from Gorey with a precious 3 points after an intense game. Gorey away
is always going to be a tough game, and the Bokerboys will have learned a lot
about themselves from this encounter.
Gorey
began the game brightly and put the CBS defence under pressure from the off.
The CBS coped with this with Evan Dunbar and Emmett Fox emerging as real
leaders at the back. CBS began to find their feet in the game and pushed
forward down the wings, left back Eoin Doyle took on two Gorey defenders before
being taken down in the box but the referee judged that it was not to be a
penalty. Almost straight away Gorey responded with a quick counter attack and
played an excellent through ball into an onrushing centre forward who faced
keeper Joe Coleman in a one on one situation with the CBS keeper bravely coming
out to block the Gorey effort and keep the game scoreless. The game was proving
to be a very tense affair with neither side getting a real hold of proceedings with
the ball remaining around the midfield area in a real battle for possession and
the upper hand. The Gorey side did manage to create a good opening after about
20 minutes but again Joe Coleman produced a great save to deny another one on
one opportunity and keep the teams’ level. CBS now began to press their
opponents and forced a couple of corners but were unable to test the Gorey
keeper, Richie Kearney was working well as the lone striker and held up the
ball well but a very solid Gorey backline were protecting their keeper well.
Some fantastic football was on display as there was no real difference between
the sides and it looked as if it would take a moment of magic to separate them.
That
moment of magic soon arrived and the Bokerboys took the lead. Eoghan Whitty was
at the heart of everything good from the CBS going forward and he played a
delightful cross field pass to Richie Kearney just inside the Gorey half,
Kearney caught a glimpse of the Gorey keeper standing at the edge of his box
and from wide left on the field he controlled the ball well and attempted an
audacious effort with his weaker left foot which hit the far top corner of the
net for a truly spectacular goal. CBS looked to double their lead before the
interval with Sean Stafford driving through the middle of the field before
firing a well-placed effort towards the top corner of the net but saw his
effort saved by a remarkable save from Gorey’s Irish international keeper.
Gorey responded very well and were unlucky not to level the scores before half
time as a combination of luck and resolute defending kept them at bay. Having
done all the hard work their number ten managed to beat the keeper but not the
crossbar at first and Emmett Fox blocked another goalbound effort on the line
before the halftime whistle arrived.
Wexford
began the second half in much better fashion as they looked to add another
goal. Substitute Mark Doyle began very brightly and on two occasions made space
for a shot but was unfortunate not to hit the target. Some excellent football
was on display and both the defences were on top with very few chances being
created at either end. Gorey broke well down the right wing and hit a neat
cross but their attacker unfortunately couldn’t get enough on the ball and it
skimmed off his head and away from danger. CBS broke from
this with Lar Stoutt finding substitute Darragh Rossiter and the Bokerboys
countered well but again couldn’t get a clear shot off. The CBS did add a
second with about 15 minutes remaining, Gorey were at this stage pushing up in
desperate search of an equaliser and leaving gaps at the back, Eoghan Whitty
exploited that gap with a precise ball over the top for Sean Stafford who
latched onto the pass and found himself in a one on one position from which he
made no mistake in adding a second 2-0!! The Bokerboys were delighted at having
deservedly added to their lead. Gorey responded almost immediately, they
received a free wide on the left and swung in a dangerous ball which was met at
the back post with a well-placed headed effort to make it 2-1 with ten minutes
remaining. Wexford CBS upped their performance at this stage and did not allow
Gorey back near their goal, after some good work down the right wing Darragh
Rossiter was fouled. Up stepped Richie Kearney and from another tough angle
fired in a looping effort which beat the keeper and found the top corner,almost
as good as his first, 3-1 the score and the boys couldn’t hide their excitement
as only extra time remained. They almost
celebrated too much as Gorey took a quick tip and only for a rash tackle from
Eoin Doyle would have been in for a second goal. The CBS defended resolutely
until the final whistle to take all 3 points from a very tough game. The CBS
have started this season very well and yet again the attitude and workrate of
the team was exemplary. Next up is a tough fixture away to Bridgetown but if
the boys continue with this effort they will have no reason to be fearful. It
would be very difficult to choose a player of the match from this game as it was
such an excellent team performance with everyone playing their part, Joe
Coleman did well to keep us in the game, the centre half pairing of Emmett Fox
and Evan Dunbar were immense throughout, Eoghan Whitty created a lot for the
side throughout the game, and Richie Kearney of course had a part to play with
those special goals.
