Replying To Cockney_Cat: "All three." There was me thinking you were sticking your nose into the Galway forum and not committed to a prediction. So your going for Dublin to win all in!! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2604 - 22/05/2025 14:51:18 2611763 Link
To be fair, i think we'll shade it but the 1/2 odds on a Galway win are mad. 3 seperate bets as CC has laid out if you fancy dublin is probably the thinking man's bet as it will definitely be close. I would never bet against Galway in any circumstances but I won't be putting on us either at 1/2. Waterford 5/1 to put cork out of their misery is worth a look Overdahill (Galway) - Posts: 62 - 22/05/2025 15:14:16 2611766 Link

Best of luck to the Galway Minors tomorrow v KK. Should be a hell of a match. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2524 - 23/05/2025 13:04:11 2611871 Link
Replying To Trump2020: "Best of luck to the Galway Minors tomorrow v KK. Should be a hell of a match." Could be a cracker if our lads bring their A game. A lot went wrong in the game between them in Nowlan Park and there was still only four points in it. The last day against Wexford we fell asleep in the second half after an excellent first half had the game won. Think our forwards will give them trouble but whether we can hold up at the other end is another matter. The main thing is we are getting plenty of big games at this level. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 915 - 23/05/2025 15:18:25 2611908 Link
Replying To Stool Pigeon: "Kilkenny 2-21 0-17 Dublin FT When you consider that this is a KK team predominantly made up of their 2022 minors who didn't even make a LF, and their 2023 minors who were beaten out the gate by Galway's in the LF, it's pretty sobering for us that a team made up largely of pretty unheralded players were able to comfortably dispatch a team who in turn comfortably dispatched us a week ago at U20. Not that we needed any further signs as last week gave us all the evidence we needed but it's time for something different, for sure." Lk minors had a lot of senior team today and got beat by kk but 3 years later under 21 beat Kk well. Newyorkkat (Kilkenny) - Posts: 160 - 23/05/2025 15:40:04 2611924 Link
Replying To Newyorkkat: "Lk minors had a lot of senior team today and got beat by kk but 3 years later under 21 beat Kk well." Limerick loosing that minor all Ireland at the time was very much a shock. They were heavy heavy favorites. Think a lot of them said it probably helped in their future that theyve never took anything for granted. They were also probably favourites for the all Ireland the year before as well but lost to phantom Barry Nash Hawkeye point to Galway in the semi final. Still won two Munster minors so wasn't all heart break at minor for them. Throughthemidfieldhewasstormin (Wexford) - Posts: 332 - 23/05/2025 16:00:20 2611928 Link

Minors is probably our best shot at a sniff of an All Ireland other than maybe Club Hurling. Hopefully no silly red cards as it's sure to be physical. Hon Galway.

That's a serious KK attack, 5 of the starters were involved last year, we will have it all to do to contain them, it'll take a huge effort from 8-12 to limit the supply because otherwise we are toast. But games can take on a life of their own, particularly at minor. However, anything close to a repeat of the second half v Wexford and we will struggle. But as you say it's great to be getting the games, win or lose. Stool Pigeon (Galway) - Posts: 934 - 23/05/2025 20:04:19 2611969 Link
Replying To Newyorkkat: "Lk minors had a lot of senior team today and got beat by kk but 3 years later under 21 beat Kk well." That's the point though, their trend was upwards and they won at U21. Minor is boys' hurling, particularly now as it's U17. We are trending backwards and have been for a while but the last two years' exits have been particularly disappointing, Dublin lost both Leinster finals they beat us to qualify for.

disappointing result/ performance from the minors today.. im not criticising the players there only kids after all but kk looked far superior and had structure and a game plan. at least they have another game next week to right the the wrongs of today so keep the heads up lads. hope the seniors might have better look tomorrow in a massive game. gbay (Galway) - Posts: 273 - 24/05/2025 19:06:16 2612137 Link

Did those Galway minors not run Kilkenny close in the Leinster round robin in Kilkenny just a few weeks ago. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2443 - 24/05/2025 20:13:20 2612164 Link

Kilkenny, better players, better athletes, better structured, and they're under 20s were the same earlier in the week. The cats are purring. Galway totally outclassed. Pity considering 13 of them were involved in last year's panel. Armchairreporter (Galway) - Posts: 110 - 24/05/2025 23:46:33 2612259 Link

That was very straightforward altogether. 29 scores to 18 told the story. Got a bit sloppy towards the end but we were well out of sight at that stage. David Burke had a great game in midfield, some lovely assists for scores. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 915 - 25/05/2025 15:38:53 2612406 Link
Replying To Cockney_Cat: "£5 - Dublin 1-3 Points 9/2 Potential returns £27.50 £3 - Dublin 4-6 Points 8/1 Potential returns £27.00 £2 - Dublin 7-9 Points 13/1 Potential returns £28.00 A better return than putting £10 on the win at 2/1. Assuming they don't win by more than 9 points. All prices from Paddy Power." All 3 eh.......you're in touch with the form Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4185 - 25/05/2025 15:45:20 2612411 Link
Galway to win and +2 handicap easy money! 4 handy wins on the bounce. Next obstructive Leinster title then rest for 4 Weeks and set for All Ireland Semi Final most likely v Tipperary. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2604 - 25/05/2025 15:52:44 2612412 Link
