Ulster U20 and Minor Championships 2024

[Goals_Will_Come]

Wednesday 10 April

Ulster U20FC
Donegal v Armagh, Ballybofey - Postponed
Fermanagh 1-11 Cavan 2-9

Derry 5-16 Antrim 0-3
Tyrone 5-20 Monaghan 0-8

Monaghan played the second string tonight as they had nothing to play for. Couldn't get top spot and had their Quarter Final berth secured. Tyrone still impressive in awful conditions. Tyrone's squad men definetly put their hands up for selection going forward. Some wealth of options in having Ruairi McCullagh and Noah Grimes putting pressure on that starting forward line.

Donegal 1-6 Armagh 0-7

Another thriller! 

[cavanmaniac]

Caught a few minutes of Derry v Cavan u20 qf. Anyone who missed it, didn't miss much.

Cavan were putting on a clinic in the ills of the game, going through the greatest hits of mind-numbingly awful attacking play. It's hard to understand any team being coached to take the field these days with such predictable, clichéd tactics. Might be a poor crop, I dunno, but Larry Reilly shouldn't be near that team next year.

Edit: FT 1-14 to 0-7.

Is semi final an open draw or is it predetermined?

[imtommygunn]

I saw its draw earlier on twitter. Derry won't play Tyrone.

[cavanmaniac]

Couldn't tell you who plays who now, but think the commentators referred to the pairings, so I think it might be predetermined, yes (definitely no repeat pairings, they said).

They could nearly have played the Derry v Donegal game on Saturday in Celtic park, be like the old days when underage players used to get a proper taste of championship crowds!

[Tyrone Dreamer]

They definitely should be trying to get underage games on before senior fixtures. Both from the point of view of giving the young lads a bit of exposure and secondly to give those in early something to watch at the senior games. There doesn't seem to be any effort put into promoting the games or making a day out of it. They have also totally devalued underage intercounty gaa.

[imtommygunn]

They have made an awful balls of the underage county stuff.

[Captain Obvious]

Appears to be inconvenience for the powers to be. And HQ and have a desire for U19 grade.
