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

Small sample size

His auld lad was heavily involved with Shannon rugby if I have the right folk.

Osgar would be a first cousin of the Waterford hurler Colin Dunford. Older brother played for the 20s this year.

The auld lad moved up that way as a burren conservationist

Super looking day in Thurles
You can almost smell the cider

Hopefully two good games today.

Galway look very strong but Clare are good at the backs and have a couple of fine forwards, I think Collins is a real handful.

What a pluck

Three poor wides from Galway.

On fire so far.

Galway taking a lot of potshots.

Galway doing everything wrong

Always the danger when you play a short passing game. Any errors give the opposition a great chance.

What a goal!

Maybe keeper should do better on the angle.

I haven’t seen them all year is this brick flicking and overdoing it around the middle the game plan?

There’s goals there anyway and surely niland stylish shots will start going over

Yes, that’s how they’ve been playing it all year.

Clare centre back is lording ball

Hegarty took the yellow there because that was probably going to be a Niland goal otherwise.

We’re doing some awful brainless passing back there.

It’s amazing how much this Clare team has developed all season, putting together some lovely passages

Must be Clare’s first wide

Galway would want to think about putting a couple over the bar.

We did alright against them bar gifting them a couple of goals.
