We have Senior players good enough to beat Dublin comfortably without the U20s.
It's pivotal Galway put out their strongest U20 team.....its high time We won U20 All Ireland in hurling!"
Looks like ye are going to be waiting longer im afraid.

It'd be nice to see a sea of maroon and white descend on Pearse Stadium at some stage to support our hurlers. Nothing but excuses coming from East Galway about why they won't travel in numbers for a sport we're clearly passionate about. Cutting off our nose to spite our face.
Our U20s well beaten today. If anything, the gap has grown since Clare gave us a lesson at minor level. Too much talk about revenge after beating a poor Kilkenny team. There was one team who looked like they were on a mission there today and it wasn't our lads unfortunately. Chalk it on the list of All-Ireland final losses. In fairness to Clare, when they get there, they tend to get over the line more often than not.

The gulf in hurling between Leinster and Munster is now clearly included at U20 level and Senior. The 20s got a lesson. Hopefully it doesn't stretch to minor level too.

I dont think its a talent deficit tbh. I think its an intensity and match ready thing. The Munster round robin is extremely competitive. The games are really physical and intense. The scoreline may not always reflect that but it is. I saw a tougher more intense and harder working clare team win today.

I agree. I never mentioned talent. Physicality is a big problem here in Galway.
