That’s Galway’s second win against Kerry in recent years at U-20 level after twice losing to them in All-Ireland minor finals.

thought kerry team looked very manufactured compared to Galways much slicker footballers…kerry seemed to have an over emphasis on physicality and big hits, which might have looked good on tv but didnt really stop the glaway players who just absorbed them…some real slick galway footballers on show, always going foreward and great decision making…,kerry seemed to turn back when they got to certain point with no real idea of what to do… is that a group of kerry players who won minor all irleland or are most of them gone senior already?..whos galway manager?

Clifford won them the minors, the rest are average. Kerry short term thinking at minor coming home to roost again.

galway miles ahead of them as footballers today…kerry had a few tanks…

Kerry looked very very unfit . A few noticeably carrying timber

like intercounty players you’d see in the noughties after spending too much time pumping iron…

I was thinking more burger bellies

thought a few of them were just waiting to cream a galway lad with a shoulder…thats usually a good sign of lad doing too much lifting in gym…mad to burst someone…

It is also a sign of a lad gassing up and trying to make amends

Didn’t see too much of galway match - what were midfield like? Dublin started with a usual half forward and half back there and then switched in other half backs and forwards. Their full court press means if opposition have a good fielder out the field they could be caught out. Were very open in first half.

they’d one particularly stylish midfieldfer…he got man of the match …glided round the place…real class act…

If the average size of the young lads you’d see jumping in off the boards at BlackRock every summer is anything to go by, Galway will have big powerful teams for years to come *

**They mostly seem to wear Connacht rubby shorts,

I thought Ruadhri Beaglaoich is a class act, a bit wake at the moment for the big boys but he has all the skillsets really. Very talented. Is he anything to Brian?

Tipperary beat Kerry 0-32 to 0-9 in the LITGG. You’d wonder what’s the point of Kerry entering these competitions.
