Leinster Schools Senior Hurling ‘B’ Championship
Wexford CBS v FCJ Bunclody
Monday Nov 23 at Bunclody GAA Club
FCJ Bunclody………2-12 Wexford CBS………0-10
The Bunclody students were the better team and won comfortably in the end after a tough battle throughout. They led at the break by 1-5 to 0-5 having played into the wind as CBS struggled to get into the game and were far too reliant on Conor Coleman for scores.
It was point for point for long stages of that half but the difference was a 20th minute goal.
Conor Coleman scored 0-4 (1 from play) and Liam Rockett chipped in with a point but CBS’s performance needed to be much better if they were going to secure the win that would guarantee a home quarter-final in the Leinster SHC ‘B’ championship.
It looked promising when they scored two quick fire points in a row early in the second half through Coleman but the key passage of play was when Bunclody rifled over 0-5 in a row to open up a six point gap.
CBS were chasing the game now but all they could muster was two converted Coleman frees and a point from Liam Rockett. The goal that was so badly needed never arrived and instead Bunclody found the net with the final play of the game.
It’s a disappointing end to fine year for this team – victory over Gorey CS and a draw with Enniscorthy CBS (the two teams that ultimately qualified from the group).

Leinster Schools Senior Hurling ‘B’ Championship
Wexford CBS v Gorey CS
Friday Nov 20 at Pairc Charman
Wexford CBS……………………….2-10 Gorey CS………………………..2-7
Wexford CBS withstood a second half onslaught from Gorey CS to collect both points in this keenly contested Leinster Schools Senior Hurling ‘B’ championship contest at Pairc Charman last Friday.
The home side enjoyed the advantage of the strong wind in the first half and needed to build up a sizeable lead in order to have any hope of winning the game.
Shane McGrath started the scoring for CBS with a neat point but at the other end Aodan Doyle levelled matters. CBS opened up a gap in the next ten minutes as Conor Coleman raced through and fired to the net and this was followed by points from the excellent Liam Rockett (2) and Chris Cowman.
Tiernan Doyle kept Gorey in touch with a point but Coleman and Rockett stretched the CBS lead to 1-6 to 0-2 approaching the 20th minute. Aodan Doyle converted a free for the Gorey students and then Tiernan Doyle gave the visitors a serious boost when he goaled in the 26th minute (1-6 to 1-3).
However, Wexford CBS got a crucial score just before the break when Conor Coleman cleverly put Dylan Dixon in the clear and Dixon planted the ball in the bottom corner of the net to leave the half-time at 2-7 to 1-3.
Gorey CS needed to get scores on the board quickly but they found the resolute CBS defence hard to break down. Aodan Doyle sweetly cut a sideline ball between the posts in the 38th minute and the added a pointed free shortly afterwards.
The Naomh Eanna attacker expertly directed the ball past Shane McGrath (who had switched into the goal at half-time) to the net in the 45th minute to leave the score at 2-7 to 2-5. CBS were playing very deep to help out their busy defence but this reduced any chance of getting scores at the other end.
Conor Coleman lifted the siege for the Bokerboys with a converted free (CBS’s only score from a placed ball) and moments later Chris Cowman’s brave catch was rewarded with a point. Gorey battled on and both Aodan Doyle and Jack Cullen popped over frees (2-9 to 2-7) but Conor Coleman had the last say when he played a shrewd one-two with Chris Cowman to increase the lead to three points.

Under 16 Junior “B”Football
Wexford CBS 1-10
Enniscorthy CBS 2-4
Wexford CBS reached the quarter final of the South Leinster
“B” Junior Football Championship after a thrilling victory over Enniscorthy CBS
in Páirc Charman on Thursday last.
On a very heavy pitch, the Boker Boys were quick to settle,
but took a while to find their range.
Numerous scoring chances went a-begging before Cian Foley and Luke
Dowdall put them on the scoreboard. In a
close and competitive contest, Enniscorthy led by 3 points to 2 at half time.
Enniscorthy grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck with
2-1 in the opening minutes of the second half.
However, the Wexford side never gave in and with inspirational play,
particularly from Cathal Kirwan, Sam O’Neill, Ben McMahon, Kallum Broaders,
Chris Cowman, Adam Dempsey, Luke Dowdall (whose ball-winning ability stood
out), they gradually ate into the deficit.
Points from Dempsey (3), Cowman (1) and Dowdall (2) brought the gap down
to the minimum.
A last-minute free from Dempsey into the square was fisted to
the net by team captain Jack O’Leary to send the Wexford contingent into
raptures. Impressive substitute Aaron
Smith kicked a point to give Wexford a deserving three point win.
This is the first time for many a year that Wexford CBS have
played in the “B” grade and it is most satisfying to reach a quarter-final at
the first time of asking.

Senior Soccer
Wexford CBS 5-6 Borris
V.C (a.e.t)
Heartbreak for
seniors in first round of cup after Epic comeback
The Senior soccer team enjoyed very mixed emotions within
one game at the hands of Borris V.C in North End. The defending Wicklow/Wexford
league champions had high hopes this year of a good competitive run in the
Leinster cup, but unfortunately crashed out on the first day after a dramatic
match. Missing last season’s senior player of the year Darragh Rossiter didn’t
help proceedings for sure but still the Bokerboys have nobody to blame but
themselves. The game began with a very cagey atmosphere as both teams got stuck
in to what would be an epic contest. Borris struck first blood after they punished
the CBS backline for some lacklustre defending playing a neat one-two before
their number 9 beat Adam Dempsey to give them the lead. The Bokerboys response
was immediate with Shane McGrath firing in a volley from 15 yards on the left
side leaving the keeper with no chance. The remainder of the first half
performance will not be fondly remembered by the home side who were simply
nowhere near their usual level. Unable to cope with the physical but fair
efforts of their counterparts the CBS were caught guilty in possession again
and yet again Borris combined to find a defence splitting pass and number 9 for
the away side added his and his team’s second with a fine finish. Dylan Dixon
was wasteful when played in with the chance of an equaliser opting to lob the
keeper unaware of time he had and his effort landed on top of the net. Borris
physical prowess was winning them a lot of possession and gave the home team no
time on the ball at all as their high pressure game again paid dividends
dispossessing Paddy O’Reilly on the right flank before sending in a cross and
doubling their advantage. The half time score 3-1 against a shell-shocked home
side. Things went from bad to worse as the influential Ryan Byrne was lost to
injury after receiving a blow to the head at the close of the half.
To be fair to Wexford CBS they began the 2nd half
in an entirely different manner and having made some changes and a few harsh
words finally began to get into the game. However it appeared that luck
deserted the side completely on the day. Aaron Goodison seeing a goal
disallowed early on, Lee Busher whipped in a free kick from the right flank and
the Borris keeper dived into a crowd of his own players missing the ball which
found its way to the feet of Goodison who finshed well but the ref blew for a
free out for a “foul” on the keeper. Shortly afterwards substitute Luke O’Neill
got away from the Borris defence leaving them in his wake as he sprinted
goalwards but hit his effort straight at the grateful keeper. The Bokerboys had
certainly raised their game but again disaster struck, Paddy O’Reilly and the
right winger for Borris got into a tangle and the result a free kick some
25 yards from goal for the away side.
The same winger stepped up and unleashed an unbelievable effort into the top
corner of the net leaving Adam Dempsey (or any keeper) with absolutely no
chance for one of the most spectacular goals surely ever witnessed in North
End’s illustrious grounds. 2 minutes later Borris broke on the counter again a
nicely played cross field ball from right to left played in their left winger
who rushed on and finished well 5-1 to the away side. To give credit to the CBS
they did not stop or give up hope and changed formation in the hope of finding
something. Substitute Sam O’Neill linked well with fellow sub Liam Rockett
playing a neat one two before drilling a cross into the box which Lee Busher
rattled home from close range, 5-2. The game and goals were flowing Aaron
Goodison made it 5-3 with 10 minutes remaining as he volleyed home a cleared
corner with a phenomenal strike from 30 yards into the top corner of the net.
The Bokerboys were now completely dominating proceedings and were awarded a
free kick on the edge of the box with 5 minutes to go, up stepped Shane McGrath
who curled in a lovely effort to beat the opposing keeper 5-4 and game on with
the clock ticking. The CBS continued to pour forward and came close again and
again, another free awarded for another foul on Sam O’Neill on the left wing,
McGrath stepped up again and managed again to fire home, completing an epic
comeback and forcing extra time, the CBS in dreamland. That dream soon however
turned to nightmare as 5 minutes into extra time and the first time Borris got
out of their own half since the CBS comeback a penalty was awarded against Dion
Murphy for a slightly over-exuberant tackle. Borris’ impressive right back
stepped up and fired home confidently. 6-5 to Borris. The CBS came close again
with super sub Liam Rockett seeing his 20 yard drive well saved by the away
keeper. In the second half of extra time the CBS continued to press and felt
aggrieved when not awarded a penalty for a foul from behind on Sam O’Neill
after he had turned his man. Liam Rockett again came close hitting the corner
flag with an effort from the edge of the box. In the dying seconds of the game
the Bokerboys thought they had found a deserved equaliser after captain Jessie
Farrell managed to jink in between two defenders for a clear run on goal and as
he was about to pull the trigger, he was cynically taken down with a tackle
from behind. Borris’s offender was shown a red card and a free awarded on the
very edge of the box. Shane McGrath saw his shot blocked down and the full time
whistle was blown. A devastated CBS crashed out of the cup after an incredible
game, a mixture of the best and the worst from our lads and ultimately not
enough. Best on the day for the Bokerboys were Shane McGrath (hat trick hero),
Jessie Farrell, Aaron Goodison and super sub Liam Rockett.

Enniscorthy CBS
The Bokerboys finish group with solid performance
Wexford CBS under 17 side rounded off the group stage of
their league campaign with a 100% record to ensure passage into the semi-final
of the competition. The Bokerboys started the game nervously and went behind to
a well worked goal from a determined Enniscorthy side. Adam Dempsey and his
defence could do nothing as a deflected cross found its way to an Enniscorthy
player unmarked in the box who applied a neat finish high to Dempsey’s right
hand side 1-0 to the away side. The Bokerboys response was excellent as from
that point on they dominated possession and the game itself. The pace and
energy of the wingers Luke O’Neill and Jamie Thomas was casuing their opponents
a head ache and midway through the first half Luke O’Neill battled well in the
box to claim possession of a Jamie Thomas cross and he slid an effort past the
helpless keeper to level the scores. For the remainder of the half Wexford CBS
played some dynamic football and created a lot of chances, but a combination of
some good last ditch defending and an excellent goalkeeper couldn’t find
another goal. Half time 1-1.
In the second half the home side really upped their game and
within five minutes had taken the lead after Luke O’Neill combined well to play
in Dion Murphy who coolly slotted home to put the Bokerboys ahead. Wexford CBS
continued to apply the pressure and created more chances but just couldn’t find
the finishing touch. Enniscorthy were looking dangerous on the counter but fine
defending from Kallum Boraders and Jack O’Leary in particular kept them at bay.
Luke O’Neill thought he had doubled the advantage midway through the second
half, Kallum Broaders whipped in a dangerous ball which Luke met brilliantly on
the volley smashing home into the top corner but the ref blew him offside in
what had to be a close call. Substitute TJ Cousins did manage to add a third in
the dying minutes as he latched onto a through ball from Dylan O’Regan
advancing into a 1 on 1 with the keeper sending an effort across the keeper to
find the net low to the left corner. Overall the Bokerboys coped well with the
test provided by Enniscorthy and deservedly won guaranteeing themselves top
spot in the group and passage directly to the semi-final of the league
competition where they will hope to go one better than last year where they
were defeated on penalties in the final. Best on the day from an excellent team
performance were Kallum Broaders, Dion Murphy and Luke O’Neill.

Senior Rugby - McMullan Cup Rd.1
Wexford CBS....14 Colaiste Cill Mhaintain.....32
Today was Cup Day, but unfortunately a victory escaped us. We led 14-13 at the interval, but conceded early tries in the second half and never recovered. This team has not achieved their potential, but with 12 of them still available next year, maybe it is a year too soon for them. Captain Chris Vickery led by example while Alex Ryan at 10 was always a torment to the opposition. Both of them scored our tries. Kean Kehoe, Ian Bennett and Jack O'Leary were best in the pack, while Calum Murphy, Nigel Donohue and Luke Dowdall stood out in the back line.
We now await the Shield draw.

Leinster Schools Senior Hurling ‘B’ Championship
Round 2 v Abbey CC Ferrybank
Tuesday Nov 10 at Kilmacow
Abbey CC…………………………1-10 Wexford CBS……………………….1-8
After a gruelling battle in terrible conditions on a sodden pitch, the senior hurlers of Wexford CBS just came up short against Abbey Community College of Ferrybank last Tuesday in Kilmacow in round two of the Leinster Schools Senior Hurling ‘B’ championship.
The home side enjoyed the strong wind advantage in the opening half and retired with a sizeable 1-6 to 0-1 lead. CBS, fresh from their round one draw with Enniscorthy CBS, competed well in the first ten minutes and could have had two points from their first two attacks but instead had wides.
At the other end, the Abbey attack wasn’t as wasteful and registered four converted frees to lead by 0-4 to nil after 14 minutes. The home side pounced for their goal on 16 minutes and added two points from play before Conor Coleman eventually got Wexford CBS on the scoreboard with a pointed free on 27 minutes.
With a deficit of eight points to overturn, CBS needed a burst of scores in the third quarter to get back in the game. They rejigged their team by moving Cormac Byrne to centre-forward and Shane Hall to full-forward for the second half.
The switches had the desired effect as CBS tore into their opponents with vigour. Liam Rockett and Cormac Byrne rifles over points and two converted frees by Conor Coleman reduced the lead to 1-6 to 0-5 after 40 minutes.
Just as CBS were building up momentum Abbey were awarded some dubious frees which were pointed to increase their lead to 1-8 to 0-5 but the Wexford students kept going at them and were rewarded with two more Conor Coleman pointed frees before the St. Martin’s attacker sent a stinging shot just over the bar in the 52nd minute.
Again Abbey struck for a pair of points to put five points between the teams but then it was reduced back to two in the 55th minute when Jack O’Leary flicked Dylan Dixon’s shot past the Abbey keeper.
Try as they might for the remainder the CBS lads couldn’t get the scores to earn the victory and returned home empty handed. Next up is a must win home game versus Gorey CS in round 3.
Wexford CBS: Shane McGrath (Faythe Harriers); Danny Walsh (Faythe Harriers), Adam Dempsey (Faythe Harriers), Padraig Rossiter (St. Martin’s); Cormac Byrne (Faythe Harriers 0-1), Daniel Lynch (Faythe Harriers Capt.), Shane Hall (Faythe Harriers); Darragh Rossiter (St. Martin’s), Cathal Kirwan (Faythe Harriers); Jack O’Leary (Volunteers 1-0), Liam Rockett (Shelmaliers 0-1), Dylan Dixon (Blackwater); Conor Coleman (St. Martin’s 0-6, 5f), Stephen Rossiter (Shelmaliers), Nicky Kelly (Faythe Harriers).

Wexford C.B.S......10 Carnew VC....12
Wexford continued their warm up for the McMullen Cup with a game against Carnew VC on Friday last. It was a game that tested the Wexford defence as we had to play without the ball for most of the first half. Our defence held up to the constant barrage of attacks, only been breached on one occasion. Trailing 5-0 at the break and with the wind at our backs, it seemed that we should enjoy the territorial advantage in the second half.
This proved to be more difficult than expected as we failed to use the elements wisely, instead we persisted with a handling game which did not meet our needs.
Our first venture into the opposing 22, led to a try from Chris Vickery. Our second and only other incursion into that part of the field led to another try , this time from full back Darragh Rossiter.
This looked to be enough, but a try in the corner in the final play led to a score which they duly converted to take the honours.
We now play Colaiste Mhaintain, Wicklow in the McMullen Cup on Wednesday next in Wexford at 1pm.

v Enniscorthy CBS
Monday Nov 2
at Pairc Charman
Wexford CBS……1-12 Enniscorthy CBS…….1-12
The senior hurlers picked up a precious point in the championship when they came from behind to secure a richly deserved draw versus Enniscorthy CBS. Although the Boker Boys never had the lead, they never gave up the fight and got just about what they deserved in the end.
The
Enniscorthy lads raced into a 1-4 to 0-1 lead after ten minutes with the help a
rocket of a goal from county minor Seamus Casey. Gradually Wexford CBS began to
believe and clawed their way back into the game with pointed frees from the
hurl of Conor Coleman together with one from play from Coleman after 19
minutes.
It was 1-8
to 0-4 approaching half-time when CBS got a break when the Enniscorthy keeper
dropped a Conor Coleman centre to the net and the sides retired with CBS
trailing by four points (1-8 to 1-4).
The defence
led by Daniel Lynch, Adam Dempsey and Cormac Byrne was working overtime and
needed some help from their colleagues in attack in the new half. Cathal Kirwan
had entered for the unluckily injured Padraig Rossiter and was also playing
well.
CBS went to
work straight from the start of the new half. Liam Rockett (2), Stephen
Rossiter and Cormac Byrne (with a beautiful lift and strike effort from inside
his own half) had points but the visitors always managed to keep their noses in
front with points of their own.
With ten
minutes to go, CBS got the lead down to one point thanks to Conor Coleman
converted frees and his eighth and final point tied up the game in the 59th
minute.
It was a
great performance full of grit and determination. Well done to all. Next up is
an away trip to Waterford to take on Abbey CC of Ferrybank.
Wexford CBS: Shane McGrath; Danny Walsh, Adam
Dempsey, Padraig Rossiter; Shane Hall, Daniel Lynch (Capt.), Cormac Byrne
(0-1); Darragh Rossiter, Dylan Dixon; Nicky Kelly, Liam Rockett (0-2), Stephen
Rossiter (0-1); Liam Hore, Jack O’Leary, Conor Coleman (1-8, 7f).
