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

What sort crowd is that final likely to get? A local derby, chance of revenge for 2010, neither of them too accustomed to silverware lately. Will surely fill Parnell Park?

Be awful to put in that outhouse

The Louth crowd absolutely detest Meath. It’s a beautiful kind of GAA hatred.

Parnell Park on Monday night

Sometimes it’s not about ease of access.

It is, and this Meath side is gettable. This could be epic.

Is this not the team who won a minor All-Ireland by beating a highly rated Tyrone team in 2021? They must’ve regressed since then. I know Laois beat them last year and they lost a group game this year but a good victory tonight against underage kingpins Kildare.

They are but I watched 2 of their games and wasn’t overly impressed. Big lumps here and there.

A sold out, febrile Parnell Park on a May Monday night. There will be lads reminiscing about this and how we will never see the likes again the next time there is a tweak to GAA competition format!

April Monday night

Lenny still a bit young/light for u20s. New gaffer didn’t exactly start with glowing reports. U20 club spread hard to get a hold of in Dublin.

Equivalent to laois v offaly in the leinster minor hurling final 2022. Surely 10 thousand.

How do the dubs select managers for U20 and minor ? Is it the lads who managed the team as they came up through the development squads from u14etc

Any of my fellow Wexford folk watching the children’s football stream? I see our midfielder bagged a hat trick & we seem to have knocked Meath out, unless it’s another round robin after the first one?

That forbes lad looks the real deal @peddlerscross . I suppose he has ardboe connections…but still…

Niblock had him on his podcast a couple of years back as a mere 16 year old…

That was a big win away in Ballybofey. Tonight could have been the All Ireland in all but name.

3 years ago a fancied group of Laois underage hurlers with an iconic Waterford man quietly working in the backroom went to newbridge and got mugged off and suffered a degree of ridicule and perhaps rightly so.

That wrong was quietly righted last night with the great man in the background once again.

Just flicking through Clubber and have come across Wexford v Kilkenny in the Leinster Minor Hurling Championship. It’s half time and Wexford lead 1-13 to 0-7.

Not sure if this is live or was played during the week?

EDIT - It’s live.
