Maybe Im being a bit dopey here, but what grade is Junior? Like who qualifies to play for that team?

Seems to be different depending on the county. Some teams are more like county B selections while others mainly draw players only from the junior or intermediate ranks.

I see! Thanks!

Am i right in saying Roscommon are still the only team to have beaten Kerry in the final at every level? anyways this junior success should be great opportunity for the Sligo lads that may have been overlooked in the past

[Kerry Mike]

well done to all in Sligo .

As the saying goes 'you haven't really won an All-Ireland until you've batin The Kingdom

Will save that for the Senior final if the langers win

37 Senior All Irelands but it would be unlike us to boast about them.

Congrats to the Sligo lads on winning the All Ireland JFC 9 doubling their no of all Irl wins.
Delighted for them and for their posters on Gaaboard Sligonian,Seanie and the rest.
Also nice to see a third Connacht county being able to beat the Kingdom in an All Ireland Final ( Us,Sligo and Galway  ).

I have to take the bait. I just cant leave it. Yet again young man you are embarrassing yourself. Have a look at the 1997 junior final and the '67 u-21 final.

Oh sorry forgot the winky yokes

and these ones for magpie seanie and spectator.   

Fair cop there criostlinn  

Ennis seems to be a lucky ground for ye when it comes to All-Irelands ... now if only ye could get the aul September games played there ...

Mayo survive strong Kerry challenge as ........King Billy's men claim their own Kingdom!

MAYO 2-8 KERRY 1-10

Mayo won their fifth All-Ireland Junior when they defeated Kerry in Cusack Park, Ennis, on Saturday evening. Patrons were treated to a good and entertaining match with the outcome in the balance to the final whistle. A number of factors were to the fore in carving this victory over a fancied Kerry side and it was a sweet victory for the Mayo lads who put a major effort into this year's campaign.

Mayo manager, Billy Fitzpatrick, was in jubilant mood after the game. And he spoke of his pride in the manner in which the team conducted themselves throughout the season. "Most of that squad today were on the team that defeated London in the final in Castlebar in 1995. At least ten of them were on the panel. They had a lot of experience and most of them had played at various levels for the county, including the senior team, at some stage or another."

Billy said he could not praise the squad highly enough. "They were very committed from the outset. We worked hard for this title. You don't always get this kind of commitment at junior level. These lads deserve their success. They are an exceptional bunch of fellows. Looking back, I must say that the trip to Birmingham for the game against Warwickshire was very special. Their conduct on that trip was exemplary and they were great ambassadors for the county. It also helped to further develop a great sense of friendship between the entire panel. I'm delighted for all of them that they have won an All-Ireland Junior medal."

One lad scored all four goals. Surely should be a legend in Mayo for that feat alone. What was his name again?

The very man. Will Mayo bate Ciarraí? Yes if they have Willie McGee.

[Turlough O Carolan]

And to get back on topic, congrats to Sligo. They least they deserved after all the county brought to the championship this year. The atmosphere in Castlebar on Connacht final day was something else and the supporters were very gracious after a devastating loss. Few would begrudge them adding some silverware from other All-Ireland grades to this.
