It will take a very good team to stop Mayo winning the minor All Ireland this year.

Great to see a lad with south Derry connections playing mid-field for Galway.

Well done to Roscommon. Was a good game of football.

[Rossfan]

It surewas. Typical Connacht football (underage only nowadays).
Bench and never give up spirit  came to the rescue again
A poor 10-15 minutes before ht didn't augur well but that start to the second half....
Goals win games as the saying goes and apart from a few lumpers at the end Galway never threatened our net.
Ref did us no harm at times but some baffling decisions.
In my biased view Galway coulda got maybe 4 black cards.
Now for an even bigger test next week.....

A good,very competitive and entertaining Connacht U20 campaign and the today's final didn't disappoint. Well done to Roscommon on a deserved win, they were the table toppers and showed why today best of luck to them in the All Ireland series which looks to be a very strong final four.

Well done and good luck to Roscommon the rest of the way

Last group matches played in the Connacht U17 championship tonight.

Leitrim 1-10 Galway 2-17
Sligo 0-11 Mayo 1-12

Galway into the semi final on scoring difference ahead of Sligo.  Will play Roscommon next Friday and the winner of that match will face Mayo in the final.


Semi final set for Tuam Stadium so it made no difference to finish 2nd or 3rd in the group.   

[Cunny Funt]

Roscommon 3-5 to 0-7 winners against Galway in Tuam in the Connacht minor semi final tonight.  Roscommon v Mayo Connacht final next Friday in Hyde Park home and away arrangement as with senior level but different to U20 whereby neutral venue was chosen for the final.


Also tonight Sligo beat Leitrim 1-9 to 0-11 in the Shield final.

[Rossfan]

Well done lads. Good and bad in parts, got the goals at the right times, defended well.
Galway a limited enough outfit. Mayowestros will be a big step up.
Hopefully the revenge factor will motivate and we can keep Kobe quiet as well.

I'd be more worried about Evan Walsh.
