Replying To yew_tree: "I didn't see either game but just my 2 cents…I believe the GAA have made a balls of both the minor (u17) and u20 championships. They used to be great competitions. Some blame the regrading and it probably has a part to play but it's the schedule for me.
Taking the minor finals out of All Ireland final day and the madness that was yesterday evening. It's all rushers it almost like the GAA don't want them played."
Only 10% voted to return Minor AI Final to curtain raiser for Senior Final. Why though is Connacht MFC ending 8th May 4 weeks before AI Quarter Final? Meanwhile the Ulster opponents playing over the next few weeks while Connacht lads get bored nland stale training.
Not to be for u 20s. Limited squad did very well to win Connacht and almost sneaked it last night at the end of normal time.
For some bizzare reason the mods didn't publish my after match comments.
Take two..
A great journey has come to an end against a strong Kerry who will take some beating in the final.
Our fight back from 7 points behind in normal time to bring the game into extra time was once more the pure grit and character of this team on display and but for a last ditch tackle we would have won 0-12 to 0-11
Extra time caught up on our legs and how much the ultra competitive Connacht championship took out of us. Kerry in comparison had two less games and two was strolls past Clare,Waterford.
The manner that we conceded those three goals in 5 minutes was frustrating and Eoghan Carthy off injured during that spell was a huge blow.
Thanks to all the players and management for the time and effort put in and winning Connacht against the odds.
