Fair play to ye mate. Fully deserved win.

I’m extremely disappointed yet again with the standards we’re showing at u20 level. We look to be heading to the doldrums for some time at senior. Miles off it again.

Grim times ahead unfortunately.

Thanks for the gracious words. I would give this galway group a bit of a pass. Niland and Shaughnesey are your 2 best forwards and massive losses. Take O Dulaing and Purcell out of that Dublin team and we wouldn’t be scoring a lot.
Screeney and Rigney out of offaly too.

one of them at wing back Brendan Kenny is a fine player

very impressed by him v Wexford last week, not as good this week but good all the same

small enough lad but full of pace, skill and grit

Surely one for Portlaoise.

It’ll be Portlaoise

Purcell has it.

O’Riann midfield too mightnt be too bad either.

hardly any home and away arrangement for finals?

The last u21 final between them was years back in Parnell Park, huge crowd , I was at it

Diarmuid Connolly was centre forward for the Dubs - Dublin won it

Leinster council will want it in Portlaoise

Fair point, they’re two very good individual hurlers. But it’s our conditioning at this level and senior that has me worried. We’re a mile off it. Look slow and sluggish.

I checked to see when they last met earlier, it was 2016 in O’Connor Park so you could be on to something with the home-away but the Biffos will need a bigger capacity than Parnell Park.

Good to see Offaly and Dublin in a Leinster final.

what was the attendance in O’Connor Park tonight?

No idea. Looked like a decent crowd in the stand.
