Clare the better outfit but two really bad goals cost Limerick.

Limerick were pathetic in that 2nd half. Constant lobbing off the ball down the lines etc when the match was well within reach if they kept ticking scores over

I’d say there was a 10 minute period in the 2nd half where they didn’t even get a shot off due to the gameplan when chasing a game like

Some of them lads are only just 15. I wouldn’t be overly worried about games plans just yet.

I think a fair shot of them are underage again next year.

True in fairness. I’d still think it’s fair to give the management some critique on it though

Pathetic is very harsh for that age group there is little to nothing between those sides looking at their two meetings,Clare ahead physically and a better FB line even though Limerick scored 2 cracking goals but conceded 2 howlers.

Collins is the difference

Neutral venue for the final or do Cork get home advantage due to either tipping group or having to travel to Ennis in the group stages?

Hopefully they put the final on before one of the senior RR games.

Last years was a Friday night in the GG and a fine occasion. It is down for next Tuesday night.

I remember watching on youtube. A great game. Tipp were lucky on the night.

Was it not a Monday night?

That would make sense but it’s fixed for next Tuesday.

They’re not allowed to anymore iirc

That Clare minor team is brilliant.

Gunning is the best corner back I have seen at that age in a while. The goalkeeper is brilliant and Collins at 11 is the 2nd best player at minor level after Niland.

They will take stopping.

Hegarty at centre back is quality too. O’Brien the full forward is underage again next year and looks a quality player in the making as well

We gave you a decent wing back.

And O’Brien has done his cruciate on a couple of occasions, I believe.

Moylan?
