Connacht minor championship

[Rossfan]

We wouldn't have bet that Galway team no matter what.
However it was disappointing to see us looking like  crowd of lads who first met in the dressing room before the game.
What exactly were we " developing" since they were 14?

Murray has been eating his spuds and carrots anyways.

Connacht quarter final half time in Machale park. Galway 3-7 Mayo 0-7

Have to laugh at the co commentator on mid west saying that Mayo are still in the game after Galway scoring the 1st point of the 2ind half to put them 10 clear.

Has to keep the listeners interested? Galway dominating their province at minor level much like Kerry in Munster.

Evan Murphy I presume? Yeah he's a class player. I fear we're going to lose him to soccer though.

When this current Senior team split, we're fucked.

Yeah meant Evan.,and it does look like he will be lost to the foreign game.

[Cunny Funt]

Very impressive from Galway minors once again against Mayo. Only for the poor weather conditions in Salthill last year i think Galway would have hammered Mayo 3 years in a row at this level.

The semi final line up for the end of June.

Galway v Roscommon
Sligo v Leitrim

Its looking like a repeat of the U21 final with a Galway to add a minor title to their U21 title already won this year.

You would think some of the rocket scientists involved might have got a small inkling of this over past five or six years.
Cannot really comment about this year, but as I have mentioned before, it is scary how little forward talent has been coached/harnessed/developed over past five to seven years from minor ranks to become potential senior forwards.
Meanwhile Galway and Kerry are developing forwards for fun.
Please don't use the tradition excuse.
This problem begins at u14 -u16.

Mayo's All Stars last year were all defenders. It so obvious that forwards are in short supply. Another 2/3 points on Mayo performance in finals would have them winning two All Irelands in the last few years.
