Official All Ireland Minor and U20 Hurling & Football Thread (Part 2)

He has Cormac McGrath in with him (brother of Shane). Was involved with Wall at MiC. Not sure if heā€™s coach or just selector?

The auld lad isnā€™t one for hyperbole but has declared it as our finest win ever :grinning:.

Willie Ryan from Toome in this year too. Couple of lads from the Garda College too doing the fitness I presume. Kelly from Ballinahinch and a Ray Doyle fella

Iā€™m awaiting the Bossmanā€™s verdict. Heā€™s below at it.

Iā€™d suspect itā€™s the best heā€™s ever seen.

The fucking head on Lowry.

Fair to say a two man advantage has never been used worse

Criticism of the U17 grade will be hard to come by now. Several great tussles this year. Might not see that game topped at any level in 2024.

That was terrible from Kilkenny.

Conor Foxy Oā€™Brien in there too. A steady man. The auld lad would be friendly with him and speaks very highly of him

This is one of the great Minor teams. Could have given MOTM to anyone of 10 of them.

The two Ryanā€™s from Arravale Rovers were brilliant.

Was thinking it will end up being up there with Brendan Mahers group when he was captain.
Too early to talk about senior prospects but there will be a good clutch of them that will be outstanding. Weā€™ll have a fine senior team in a few years if they can stay off the bag.

The strength in depth was something else too. The Tipp subs who came on were brilliant hurlers in their own right. You were right to call for Cantwell before extra-time. Itā€™s rare that youā€™d see subs that strong on an underage team.
