Keith Rossiter set to become new Wexford senior hurling manager

Wexford GAA have named the county’s former U20 manager as their proposed candidate to succeed Darragh Egan.

KEITH ROSSITER IS set to become the new Wexford senior hurling manager.

Wexford GAA have named the county’s former U20 manager as their proposed candidate to succeed Darragh Egan.

A statement, released this morning, reads: “Wexford GAA wish to announce that Keith Rossiter will be proposed by the Selection Committee as the new Wexford Senior Hurling Manager on a three-year term.

“Keith was manager of Wexford’s U20 Hurling Team for the past two seasons, guiding the team to successive Leinster Finals, while he previously served as a selector with our senior hurling team from 2017 to 2021.

“As a player, Keith represented Wexford at senior level for more than a decade and was a member of the squad that won the Leinster title in 2004. He also tasted significant success with his club, Oulart-The Ballagh, winning ten Wexford Senior Hurling titles (including two as captain) and one Leinster Senior Club Hurling Championship.

“His nomination, and that of his backroom, will be put forward for ratification at the next meeting of the County Committee, scheduled for Tuesday, 29 August 2023.”

Rossiter has been the frontrunner for the position of late, and his case was strengthened when former Waterford manager Derek McGrath withdrew in recent days.

The Wexford U20s lost both provincial finals he guided them to in 2022 and 2023.

    indeed…but last weeks game was like a dublin team 20 years ago. +7 victory for Cork. Cunningham needs to go.

    @gold3n: Well in the game now, Nash really kept Cork in it with those saves.

    Hey, listen I really hope we do well but I think we’ve taken a step back with this new managment setup. Don’t forget Cork have also been shocking over the past 18 months.

    Just when we think we’re going to have a good year we lose to what was being described as the worst Dublin team of all time… More fake news…

    Cork are in the same boat as us. They have struggled the past 18/24 months. Beating by a bad Wexford team last year??

    Great to see our lads competing. Was expecting a hammering after last week. If it wasn’t for 2 great saves by Nash we could be well ahead.

    Anthony Dalys commentary is a disgrace here totally one sided.

    Could have stayed in it if Pa Horgan learned how to pick up the ball in training for the penalty! Could have Used a Nash Rocket instead of a bobbly one.

    @John Boyle Cork like any other county are entitled to be as good or as bad as they want over the seventhy minutes but they should like any other county be entitled to a fair non bias commentary and if Daly cant do that he should head off back to Clare and milk his cows!!!

    Great win for Dublin after the poor result v tipp last week. Very poor cork side who will struggle to stay up after that performance. Great to see the dubs compete and show hunger and commitment. Something to build on. Looks like a toss up between dubs rebels and banner for the drop.
