No sign of u20s team for tomorrow's game against Roscommon. It's like they don't want anyone to go to these matches when they put it on at 5 clock on a Wednesday and then don't even have a team named night before the game . Surely there's a pitch in the county with lights that can hold these matches at 7 clock .

Tell ye what lads, what a bloody gem ye have with Roarty. What a player. Couldn't believe when I heard he is still a teenager.

Replying To Viking66:  "Sorry that shouldve read Challenge Games, not League. Kilkenny will be decent in u20 this year."
I don't think they will be decent at all this year. This years Galway group beat them out the gate at minor and I expect the same this year. The only reports on our challenge games in the last couple of weeks is that we gave Cork a trimming and beat Clare fairly well, and those were without our seniors. We've done nothing at u20 in Leinster last few years so there is a bit of pressure on them to win it and I think they will do it comprehensively

Replying To Afinestick96:  "Thought that was a strange comment myself mickcunningham. Wexford and Westmeath is the only game that really matters for both counties next weekend . Its a real 50/50 game in my opinion"
Of course our game is the one of primary importance, but if Sam Maguire is what we are aiming at-then the Louth, Kildare game IS significant as relegation for Kildare makes reaching Sam Maguire more difficult. But yes, that would be academic if we lost to Wexford. I think one has to keep an eye on those other results though, to get the full picture. Not so sure what was too strange about the comment.

You are definitely favourites, for me favourites for the AI never mind just Leinster, but with young lads alot depends on how the heads are on any given day. You were red hot favourites with this group for AI minor honours 3 years ago and didnt turn up on the day.

Pres faltered again, won't win anything when only two forwards functioning, Cahalan and Poniard carried the fight all through, Hannon good 1st half, Leen well closed down.
Kierans took over in last 10 minutes.

Replying To Seanfan:  "A belated well done on securing Di1 football for 2027 with a heartwarming display of grit, character and skill yesterday.
You mention all the new lads used in the League.
Great to see and none of them looked out of place against the top teams in the Country (Dublin no show exception).
They'll have learned so much coming up against the top players.
I think we should go all out next week but maybe managementvmight want to give a run out to the lesser used players plus possibly Brian Stack."
I agree that we should go all out to win next Sunday. I don't know when we last beat Mayo in the National League. A win would also put Roscommon in the League Final if Donegal or Kerry slip up. We have only ever won one Division 1 League title(1979). I think it would be a great experience for our young team to play Kerry or Donegal in a League Final in Croke Park. Well done to players and management on a very encouraging League campaign.

Again, just a note to admins to acknowledge Lockjaws time and commitment to running this again this year.

I suspect, even if Jim isn't "too bothered" (!), that Donegal will be contesting the Div.1 final at the end of the month and wouldn't it be nice as part of that acknowledgement to give Lockjaw a few premium tickets to take his friends and/or family along on the day.

He has certainly increased traffic on this forum with his initiative.
