Official All Ireland Minor and U20 Hurling & Football Thread (Part 1)

It puts us at an awful disadvantage. The lads have to be rounded up to play provincial champions and they hardly know each othersā€™ names.

Tyrone 2-11
Donegal 1-07

Scoreline seriously flatters Donegal. Could have been 20 points in. Tyrone were seriously wasteful in their finishing.

The size and physicality for an u17 side is massive in this Tyrone side. Seem to be way ahead of the rest in Ulster this year. Be interesting to see how they go from here. Cork up next.

The pitch in Enniskillen seemed bad, players losing their footing all over the place.

Other factors come into play at senior. Less skill involved more handpassing and rugby tactics. Plus you need a ball of money to win there.

You think a pathetic joke county like Wexford would be able to compete with provincial winners? They canā€™t keep it pucked out to Kilkenny at minor, how are Galway going against Kilkenny the last while

Sounds like a football first county should be thriving thereā€¦

Money is the biggest factor

Nice win. A few decent players there.

Limerick outplayed Cork for large spells until the last 7-8 mins, they are a one man team in Oā€™Connor who is outstanding.

Sure the provincial games are dogfights where anything that can happen. It makes it easy then for Galway and arrive in and win easily when the other teams young lads are already jaded and tired

This nearly over?

Cork v Tyrone
Meath v Sligo

are the semis, I think.

Dogfights :laughing: iā€™d say Wexford field minors who canā€™t rise it on the run

Tiernan Leen looks a bit like an even younger Hego.

Sure you lads can follow Kerry in the football

Ya finished now.

Not really sure how strong the other teams are. Itā€™s rare enough an underage team blows everyone apart in Ulster so anything other than an AI would be a disappointment for this Tyrone side.

So wasteful tonight but still won it in second gear.

Lovely stuff ā€¦ is that just since 2018?

No one gives a fuck about football in Limerick

Ye were rugby men for a few years.

Yeā€™re hurling men now.

Never say never.

An tiomĆ”int ar feadh cĆŗig. Gaillimh abu!

Poor old Richie Mulrooneyā€™s career as Kilkenny minor manager has basically been constant defeats to Galway at various stages. Was he over them in 2014 when they won it?
