Wexford GAA - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Wexford County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association (Irish: Cummann Luthchleas Gael Coiste Loch Garman) or Wexford GAA is one of the 32 county boards of the GAA in Ireland, and is responsible for Gaelic Games in County Wexford.

Wexford had a great team during the 1990's and their hard work was rewarded in 1996 when Wexford, led by Liam Griffin and captained by Martin Storey, brought the Liam McCarthy Cup back to Slaneyside for the first time since 1968, they were waiting 28 years. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Wexford_GAA   (642 words)

Boston GAA    Click here for Boston GAA  05 Schedule But Wexford to their credit did not panic behind by 5 points and despite poor first touch from them, they kept in the game with Dowling faultless from frees and he soon had it back to three points approaching the 11th mniute. Wexford's flying former Galway county man Adrain Cullinane had been well marshalled at left corner forward by Donal Moore, however Cullinane was beginning to look lively and he popped over his second point in as many minutes and now looked a threat upfront for Tom's. In the end, Wexford were just too good and to come from behind and keep their heads after the early Tom's blitz showed that this indeed was a classy side which garnered glory deservedly for the purple and gold. www.bostonirishzine.com /bostongaa.htm   (1958 words)

Last check: 2007-11-01) The eagerly awaited semi-final hurling clash between Cork and Wexford is set to provide a high-class spectacle this weekend, and fans are looking forward to a great clash. Wexford, on the other hand, lost their provincial final to Kilkenny - the team most people have their money on to lift the cup at the end of the final - but Wexford and Tipperary are known for being tougher than people give them credit for.

Gaelic Football: PointMe.To it The first Gaelic football rules, showing the influence of hurling and a desire to differentiate from association football — for example in their lack of an offside rule — were drawn up by Maurice Davan and published in the United Ireland magazine on February 7, 1887.
