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

I meant Keane, Treacy was last years full back. They are very similar is size and style of hurling - I continually get them mixed up.

Keane is a superb prospect.

I think Clare have the defenders to win it.

I like Mescall in midfield and Arthur the wing forward too. Nice players.

By god that was some grounding of the Kerry forward by the cork fullback .he didn’t roll away either .

No Walsh is surprising. Good bench. 9 starters underage next year

Paudie O Sullivan best long term option for keeper at senior level imho.

I probably agree. Saunderson has improved this year in fairness to him

Think he lacks composure, which is a big negative when keeper is such a pivotal player these days.

There was a Ken Ralph that hurled for a club in tipp before moving to Clarecastle back in 90s , that must be his young lad in the subs

It is. Jamsie’s son is there too. Michael O’Halloran’s son at wing back and Alan Neville was also in the panel in 95 has a son on the panel

Downey and O Connor to swap positions and O Connor to ragdoll the faithful

Not really, he has been poor since the opening game. Smyth didn’t even make the bench.

I was very impressed by him in the Clare game, great command of the small square

A rare Clare line out of lads with mostly normal names.
