Wouldn't be fair on players for second match. Pitches are just about holding up.

How is the D2 league working? I see two groups of five-does the best team from each group, A and B, play in the D2 final, and do both get promoted, or how does it work overall? Fighting-Cocks69 (Westmeath) - Posts: 161 - 03/04/2026 15:19:59 2664598 Link 0 |

Some strange selections to say the least.In arguably the best under 16 final we have seen last year Na Piarsaigh defeated Clan Na Gael in extra time. These two teams were vastly superior to all the other teams in the championship. Na Piarsaigh have one starter and Clan Na Gael two on Saturday. If management has this right and maybe they do we are Leinster contenders which would be amazing. If Not??? jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1913 - 03/04/2026 17:18:50 2664612 Link 0 |

That final was dominated by two players who scored 3-30 between them, they're both playing tomorrow. Who else should be playing from those clubs in your esteemed opinion? Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2596 - 03/04/2026 23:21:06 2664643 Link 0 |

It's a strong panel of players, probably the strongest we've had in some time at this level. There is quality to come off the bench. Anything can happen at minor though, especially since it changed to u17. There's no pressure on the lads, I hope they go and express themselves today and enjoy it.

I was at that game and it was dominated by 2 outstanding players who did 95% of the scoring between them. Both teams had a couple of other strongish players, but outside of that I would say the standard was mediocre. The minor squad reflects that

The Celtic Challenge team beat Roscommon by 3 points today too in the Hyde. Played into the wind with 14 for entire 2nd half and held on well for win.

You misunderstand. I was saying that the minor squad reflects that the two teams that were mentioned had adequate representation, unlike what the previous poster had implied. It's a very impressive squad with the right spread of players

I apologise, I realised afterwards I misunderstood your point. I agree about those two players being the complete standouts in that final and in my opinion It's far more encouraging to see a talented county minor side with a spread of clubs represented than two teams that reached the county final dominating the side!

Without a doubt its far more encouraging to see a talented county minor side with a spread of clubs represented than two teams who reached the county final nobody denied this. My question was surely a valid one but our county now is a bit like trumpland anyone who questions the king gets savaged. Yesterday was indeed impressive with a well coached team putting on a show in a horrible storm.But my question hasnt been answered and the notion that the two talented players alone brought the two teams utter dominance in 2025 is utter nonsense. jobber (Westmeath) - Posts: 1913 - 05/04/2026 07:40:39 2664845 Link 0 |

What's utter nonsense is your claiming both finalists were far ahead of other teams in the championship. Anyone with any knowledge of the competition would realise Clonkill were extremely competitive and prob would have made the final had Aaron Connaire not been injured.
