Oylegate-Glenbrien will contest the Wexford county final on Sunday afternoon.
FROM NARROWLY AVOIDING relegation in 2022 to fighting for position at the summit of Wexford senior hurling, Oylegate-Glenbrien are on the verge of breaking new ground.Home of Wexford inter-county duo, brothers Damien and Shane Reck, Oylegate-Glenbrien have won three intermediate county titles since 2012. But maintaining their progress at the top table has proven difficult.
“I see flags on houses that you wouldn’t associate with being interested in the club. We’d have a core of people who go to all our games but we get a good turnout at our senior games.” “At the time , we had a few players from the Ballyhogue club. By coincidence, Ballyhogue are playing in the junior final this weekend and hopefully that’s a good omen.
Coming into this final, Oylegate-Glenbrien picked up vital wins against the defending champions Ferns St Aidan’s in the quarter-final and St Anne’s in the semi-final. Along with the Recks, there are other players with county hurling experience who have contributed to their results. Former Wexford forward Podge Doran hit 1-3 in the semi-final.
“They’re playing really well,” Heffernan says assuredly. “They drew with St Anne’s in the round-robin stage and beat Faythe Harriers. We played Naomh Éanna in our first game and they beat us that day. But we’re playing much better now. Cathal Noonan / INPHO Des Mythen representing his home club Oulart-The-Ballagh.
