Any word on Mattie Tierney or Cillian McDaid. Anything on McLoughlin coming back into the panel. Good to see Damien and Shane back.

Another worrying performance from our minors.
How many balls did we lose the tackle or turnovers against us?

Watched the minors last week against Sligo and tonight against Roscommon. A worryingly average bunch unfortunately. They try their best but very limited. No Connacht title at U17 since 2018 now. Serious slippage at underage from Galway in recent years hidden by an AI minor win in 2022 and an U20 AI win in 2020.

Didn't hear anything about Sweeney and Where is John Maher, one of the best players during the league, Cunningham probably start instead of Mccabe, maybe new injuries are sweeney & maher, good to see heaney is ok

James McLoughlin is off the panel, he's studying abroad.

Sweeney came off at half time in London game. Word around Ruislip was that it wasn't overly bad and that precaution was been taken. Would expect that the usual return to play protocols are in place so we should expect to see him for a half in next game after Sligo. He's an intelligent and integral part of the team going forward.

It is hard to fathom how they were so poor tonight, but these lads are only 16 and 17 and ultimately it is about getting Senior players. Personally, I think it is unfair to play the games on a Friday night after school.

Harsh on a group of U17s. Drew last week and only lost by three in the Hyde. Connacht is among the most competitive provinces and if lucky to get out of it you are battle hardened for the AI series as was the case for Galway U17s 2022.

As for the senior match in Markiewicz Park I think the bookies and punters will get it spot on with Galway to win by 8 or 9 point margin.
