Replying To Viking66:  "What struck me about Galway underage teams up to and including minor was how big they were for most if this millennium. For example your minor team of 2019 made ours look like very small chaps. By the time these lads were all u20 they seemed around the same size. Not sure why that is."
I wouldn't be sure about that either. Seems unlikely in fact, especially in the absence of any hard 'tale of the tape' metrics in relation to these specific squads that you observed. One likely fact anyway is that the Galway lads are unlikely to be 'growing smaller' between the ages of 17-20. Perhaps the Wexford lads are just strawberrying up to full size in their 17-20 year range.
