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

100% ! And could develop it into a proper competitive championship from there. It’s whats holding the senior championship back, before they even get to it compared to Munster who have a proper high standard championship.

I would imagine they will. Realistically Galway completely blew the semi-final against Kilkenny. Missed 2 penalties. Conceded a gammy goal from a batted down ball near the end of extra time. If it was round robin I’m pretty sure they would have come out of Leinster but they got caught and went out.

U20 final will be a curtain raiser to Tipp v Cork in Thurles. Should probably be the other way around.

Thats cruel for Tipp and Cork to arive in Thurles and the place bedecked in green and white. Cruel and unusal punishment

He’s outstanding but a pain in the hole

Enjoyable fare in Limerick so far. Clare with a fairly distinct style. Their keeper looks like a dinger.

Getting their scores that bit easier

Tipp goalie could get caught with his big slow swing.

Clare forwards are fairly individualistic, no real interplay between them. Had been a feature of them throughout the championship and could cost them tonight. Complete opposite to the backs who are a fine unit and take the right option more often than not.

Tipp’s midfield well in top and have put some lovely ball inside. The smaller lad at midfield looks a lovely stylish hurler

That was a lovely point by the Clare 11.

Had to go, can’t make that tackle on a yellow

The red mist rose there.

Urchar there and we’re level again.

Cracking goal

Great finish. Thought he had been pushed too wide by the pass.

Clare struggling to use the extra man

Clare falling apart here

Some catch
