Quote from: Wildweasel74 on May 20, 2024, 09:38:45 PMThought the Longford subs made a big difference in the game.

Cian O'Donnell had a big impact when re-introduced kicking two big points.

Considering the resources in both counties that is a great victory for Longford

Well done the neighbours.
Didn't they bate Dublin in the Group stage as well?

They did last month, which was Longfords first U17/U18 win against Dublin for 22 years.

Decent Connacht final tonight, Roscommon the better team 1st half but left to rue they were only level. Mayo the better team 2nd half and kicked on to win by 4 points.

Quarter final line up

Mayo v Cork
Roscommon v Kerry
Longford v Armagh or Derry
Dublin v Armagh or Derry

We made a lot of errors in that 2nd half which they punished.
They made very few.
2 weeks to prepare for Kerry and we'll see how it goes.
The 7 (or more!) games will certainly help in these lads' development as footballers and look forward to seeing them as u20s and some as County Seniors.
A lot of them from the smaller clubs, hopefully they can help make their clubs more competitive and give us some new nanes as Club Champions in the years ahead.

These lads are very young in the scheme of things - 16 and 17 year olds. I know plenty of lads who were fine footballers at this age and were not so good when senior level approached. In other cases some moved away from sport with Education, work, leisure activities, travelling and girlfriends taking center stage.

Naturally on the other side, there are a plethora on show tonight that will see very successful careers with their clubs and county.
