O Shea looks light. Cooney, on the other hand doesnât. Great to see a lad with a bit of ballast.
Thereâs some sort of glitch in our matrix. Itâs unfathomable. I love following Galway in everything because when we turn up, we are a joy to behold, but at underage we seem unable to maintain any kind of control, even when we are a better team.

Weâre too sound and easy goin. Shur youâd want to be an awful prick to keep hammering a team when they are bet.
Same thing happened in 2019, we took it too easy on Carlow and lost out on points difference, weâve been the best team in Leinster the last 6 years and have what two titles to show for it.

Iâm waiting for Cusackâs cry for a yellow traffic cone yoke to place the sliotar on for sideline cutsâŚ.itâs part of our IrishnessâŚ[the usual bollox etcâŚ]
Chill the fuck out lads. Galway won by 5 points. Itâs not easy to go hell for leather for 60 odd minutes in that heat.

I think he had some health issues but not 100% on that
He was captain when they won Munster in 2000 Iâm almost sure. The same day Tommy Dunne scored 2 crackers
So true @flattythehurdler. We can never do anything simply. A mile the better side tonight and we were hanging on at the end. Itâs infuriating.
Young Rabbite in goal looks a good prospect.

Youâre mixing him up with fergal Ryan from Blackrock on the captaincy piece

Possibly but he definitely played that day, scored a long range free Iâm almost sure. Deane was being seen to at time
Came on as sub.
Our record at underage this century excluding the Donal and Gerry managed teams is woeful. Aside from a decent run at under 21 from 2008 to 2010 under John Minogue it is very poor. Only for a handful of people going and doing their own thing outside of the county board in the mid 2000s the golden spell under D&G transpired and the executive soon took that over and put their own men in place once there was a bit of glory to be potentially had
I think we have been fairly unlucky at under 20s the past three years. In the run up to championship we have lost key players all three years - Higgins and Noonan in 19, Higgins again, Moloney Aidan McCarthy and Shane Meehan last year and Galvin, Meehan and Rodgers this year. We canât afford to be missing key players like that
Think he scored from play too? Yes he was a sub

DOâS is class, both in head and in wrists. JC likely to be the higher mullocker. IMcG a serious talent, as is SN (but he will really need to watch his weight).

He would have played alright but Sara wouldnât have won any championships around then so he wouldnât have been in line for capt
Jayses, I just posted the teams. He came on as a sub.
I think McGlynn is the real deal. Probably a natural centre back. Neary lacking serious pace to make it at the next level though. Oâ Shea is really developing well. Has a turn of pace and serious vision. Needs to add a few kg to be able withstand the cut + thrust of senior IC. A few years Fitzgibbon will be a god send to him as club hurling wonât develop him.

Very much agree with all those observations. Galway will probably try to turn DK into a GearĂłid Hegarty type wing forward.
What level would Salthill be in Galway? Theyâre starting to have a few on underage squads here and there arenât they?
