The banter appears to be off the chart down in the southeast ahead of Saturday’s Wexford county senior football final.
St Martin’s take on St James’ in Innovate Wexford Park and both clubs are enjoying the build up in their own unique way.
Naturally the day of a county final is always a big occasion locally, and it seems for some in St Martin’s, there is a different type of training going on
Our U10s are in serious training now for Wex football final parade on Sat. They've perfected 'Blue Steel' but 'Magnum' is proving difficult.

They have also put out an appeal for followers to be creative in showing their support ahead of Saturday
Did you get your Club flags for Saturday's county football final? Is your house / car / dog / cat dressed in maroon and white?

Meanwhile their rivals in St James have seemingly taken to painting the village’s local church for Saturday afternoon:
Church is coming along nicely. Nice work Roger…Get them flags flying high folks!!
