Padraig Nally presenting the cup, up Mayo

They only scored four goals agin us so we must be in good health

They better stop the Paki lad from going up for his medal or Nally will have the shotgun out.

There’s that gobshite Enda.

At least he went to it. Doubt Micheál Martin was there

Galway only got 5 points in the 2005 final and won.

They got 6 goals, though.

He better finish the speech with a rendition of the green n red of Mayo

Great match that. Glad Mayo won it after the amount of chances they fucked away in the first half. Really think Cork would have won it though if Mayo hadn’t got that scoring burst before half-time, it changed everything. Superb finishing by Loftus for his goals, Kelleher also got a great one for Cork that Mattie McGleenan would have been proud of and that was as good a catch as you’ll see all year from him later on. All the goals were really well taken in fact.

Ennis is a terrific venue - just the right size for this sort of match and the raucous atmosphere which really came across on television. Another great year of under-21 football.

Really poor performanxe from Cork at the back. Mayo tactically won the game in hindsight. They went more defensive than any team jas in the latter stages of this where as Cork maintained a gung-ho approach. Mayo probably felt if they could reduce Corks goal threat they would win, and thats how it went.

Oh the green and red of Mayo :ronnyroar:

Long trip home for the sombrero clad media whore last night.
