Derry at Under20 level don't translate from their strong minor teams.Too often the senior team took importance and the U20 team suffered for it. Not playing Murray and McVoy in last years final a prime example. Am convinced they won uf they played. McGrogan and Coney few years before that. We go through various managers also, without the steady 3yr manager we got at Minor.

Just for a bit of fun.......

I long to hear  the old, original theme  again on The Sunday Game. I really don't like the newer version  at all. It might as well be a   totally different theme.

Anyway , what's your  verdict?  Which theme do you prefer?


The 80's and 90's  Sunday Game theme

Or...

The more recent  version from the 2010's and  2020's

Knicks out, but that was a superb effort overall given the incredible amount of injuries they suffered. Hope they can build on this.

Derry wouldn't have been far away from winning it either. It was a very tight Ulster final. They could be counted as the moral champions.

Probably won't have long to wait as will likely be favourites to win the 2025 U20 All Ireland.

Tyrone have a lot of this years team still underage next year and even the year after.
McAneney, Joey Clarke, Ben Hughes, Conor Devlin (2 years left), Callum Daly, Conor O'Neill (2 years left), Eoin McElholm, Ruairi McCullagh (2 years left) and Callum Daly. So Tyrone will probably be looked at as favourites going into next years competition.

Back to back All Ireland titles hasn't been won at U20/U21 level for over 20 years.

Derry who was probably a year ahead of schedule could easily have taken out Tyrone in the Ulster final a few weeks ago in normal time and extra time.  They'll be stronger next year by adding a lot of their 2022,2023 minors to their U20 panel. One of those minor teams was close to winning the All Ireland and the other won the All Ireland so Derry's U20s should be very strong next year and 2026.

That's the coalition led by the FG party who were also the senior coalition Party at the time of the bombing? Which didn't send as much as a TD to the annual commemoration until 1992 - almost twenty years after the event? Which refused to hold a national day of mourning when they discovered it wasn't an IRA bombing? And which tried to refuse to fly the national flag at half mast after it? And went on to do it's level best to cover up the truth of what happened? That Fine Gael?

The b*****ds have more neck on them than the giraffe enclosure at Dublin Zoo.
