Anybody know the times and venues for the two semi finals?
Although Dublin are massive favourites the Leinster championship isn't over yet.

The Leinster final is on Friday night. Kildare v Dublin. After that game is played the venues and times will be made public probably a double header i'd say.
Dublin were seemingly sandbagging in the group stage but blew a decent Meath team away in the semi final. I would have been very confident Kildare would have improved enough to beat Meath if they were to meet again but the lads will need to put in an epic performance to get the better of Dublin.
I take it that like their minor team last year that James Doran is key for them, he is like a more skillful version of Kevin McMenamin. Stopping him will be key for Kildare.

Kerry/Kildare on 7 July is Junior football semi-final in Navan. Kilkenny host Galway in the other semi-final in Nowlan Park (Kilkenny represent the province of Britain).
You are correct in stating the u20 fixture for 14 July has Kildare v Kerry. HQ under pressure to show no favouritism to Dubs?
I believe the AI U20 Semis are the weekend 14/15 July.
Minor Qtr Finals 28/29th.
Not sure on this but think I saw U20 Final August Bank holiday weekend.

Potentially in Croke Park on Aug BH weekend on same day as Dublin v Ros/Armagh.
There'll likely be some game on that day anyway to make up the double bill
Kerry will win this easily out.

Derry v Mayo in All Ireland U21B hurling quarter-final this weekend alright. So would definitely make sense to double that up with the U20 football semi. Although you'd wonder if there are any dual players.

Hurling game is in Carrick on Shannon. Football will probably be afterwards.
"probably" is not good enough at this stage though
Its a poor mans U21 football championship but FFS the powers to be could have made a better effort than just throwing this competition together. I hope a better effort is made of the competition next year if not its going down the same road as the All Ireland junior championship which i might add had two semi finals on at the weekend and Galway will now play Kerry in the final hands up how many knew those games was on?
Both on Saturday at the same time.
Kerry v Kildare, Gaelic Grounds, 4pm
Mayo v Derry, Pairc Sean MacDiarmada, 4pm

Some provincial championships ran of quickly and in the middle of exams. Teams not playing with some of their better players. The lack of interest is alarming as seen with the low attendance at last Fridays Leinster final. I could go on but I'll only upset a few of our residents here that have themselves convinced this new competition is improvement on the last one.

I have to say the Leinster championship was well done and guaranteed all but one county of 3 games (Louth finished 3rd in a 3 team group and missed out on a 1/4 spot). The only complaint was that it has been a bit too condensed and it would have been nice to have a 2 week break before the AI semi final.
Credit also goes to the Kerry folk who travelled up to Navan for the junior semi too at the weekend. Clifford's older brother is a handy player only a little on the small size.

Yeah we've had successful minor teams this past few years. This current U20 side is almost entirely composed of U19's though and are in bonus territory now. Think something like 12 or 13 of the 15 are U20 next year including their 1,3,6,8,9 and 14.

Is that the lad who caused Kerry plenty of problems when he came on last year? Think he'd still be u18 if that grade still existed, I'm sure Derry posters will put me right.

All-Ireland U-20 Championship Semi-Final between Kildare and Kerry will be shown live on TG4, while the other Semi-Final between Mayo and Derry will be streamed live on TG4.ie. The All Ireland final will be played in Croke Park on August 5th before the Dublin v Roscommon senior game.
Mayo 2.14 Derry 2.11
Mayo the better team. Derry defence found it tough going there. Having said that we could have won it. Missed 2 excellent goal chances. Very unlucky with the shot that came back off the frame of the goal.
Most disappointing thing for me was the amount of ball kicked away, lost alot in the middle of the park and took the wrong decision too many times.
Hopefully a learning curve. Excellent achievement for these lads to win Ulster, and hopefully something to build on next year

In the sunshine, their kit dazzles the opposition and confuses them.
Great display of balls and footballing ability there. Kerry had some serious running power and a favourable referee but they still managed to get the better of them. Masterson, McLoughlin, Woodgate and Hyland were the standout performers for me. Mark Dempsey got better the longer the game and kept Shaw reasonably quiet.
They reckon the final is in Croke park as a curtain raiser for a dead rubber. A Tullamore standalone would make a lot more sense.
Really entertaining game in Carrick today. Both sides left at least 2 goals behind them. I felt Mayo dominated the first half and only going in a point up after playing with a strong breeze was a worry.
2nd half ebbed and flowed so it was great to come out the right side of the result! We seem to have a bottomless pit of half backs in the county. McLaughlin and Lambert were our standout performers today.
Superb display. It's 10 years since we have won a semi-final at underage level so this was overdue considering the decent amount of Leinster titles we have won in the meantime. Bridging a 53 year gap now will be the next challenge.
Hyland announced himself on the national stage today. He dovetails very well with McLoughlin who looks like he will be the new Martin Lynch for Clane. The backline has improved hugely over the last month. I didn't see this team going far after Laois and Meath cut them open at the back. Dempsey was stuck to Shaw today and Barrett has really grown into the 3 jersey. Masterson has really benefited from the experience he gained during Moorefield's run during the winter. He plucked a few kickouts out of the clouds when Kildare needed it.
Credit to Cian O'Neill for resisting the temptation to throw Hyland, Dempsey and O'Neill in after the Carlow debacle. Long may this great run continue!

Cracking game of ball in Carrick. Two teams just going at it.

I'm watching this now on TG4 and i have to say as a neutral that ref was a disgrace for Derry (not Mayo's fault either). Jasus H Christ he gave Derry nothing. There were 4 or 5 free's in the space of 5 mins in that 2nd half that were baltant free's and gave nothing and then went straight up the field and gave Mayo a very soft penalty. If i was a Derry fan i'd be well pissed with the Ref...but good luck to Mayo, wasn't a bad game.

I Was at the game and sometimes you can get caught up in the heat of the moment but at the time thought that for a 10/15 minute spell in the second half that there were quite a few contentious decisions that didn't go our way , that being said we had the chances to win but didn't take them , as has been said the 2wing half backs from Mayo were superb from start to finish

Only 15 starters on Saturday between both teams that played the AI quarter-final two years ago which Kildare won by 6 points, only to go on and lose the semi-final by 22 points to Kerry. From the players above I would love to see Jack Robinson(traveling) involved and not sure what has happened Ciaran Kelly. DH Mup KS?
Kildare 4/7 Mayo 7/4. PP
Davy Burke is the Kildare manager, cut his cloth in the Dublin Ladies scene and was a selector with the Dublin Senior Ladies. Has also done well with Confey Seniors Men winning Division 1 in Kildare and being very competitive against teams with better resources, traditions and players. Always comes across as a likeable chap in his interviews. Have only seen them in flesh twice this year and never came away thinking they would make it to an All-Ireland final, needless to say neither game was the Kerry or Dublin games, but they have improved with every game, a credit to their attitude and their coaches, I expressed doubts about their ability to win a tight game but they have proved me wrong. Was in Thurles 10 years ago for the AI u21 final when we were beaten by a Tommy Walsh inspired Kerry supported by Killian Young, David Moran, Kieran O'Leary, Johnny Buckley and Shane Enright. Non of that Kildare team from 10 years ago are currently playing senior football with Kildare. 53 years since we won an u21/20 All-Ireland, no pressure lads :D

Any chance both county boards can request a more suitable venue for this? I've been to every one of our u20 games but would think bad of going to the final with the dump they are putting it in coupled with having to pay to see a dead rubber also.

They might have, we were a few points better than them and Mark Dempsey would have marked him this time (he marked Shaw at minor in 2016 and on Saturday but has grown a few inches taller since minor) and I reckon he could do a decent spoiling job on him. It is a sensible rule though.
Surely the final should be the main event now with the dead rubber as a curtain raiser.
If Kerry had David Clifford and Sean O'Shea would have won well. Throw in referee giving the handy frees to kildare in second half. Will asterisk beside this if kildare win it out.

I see Niall Cullen who was in the headlines at the weekend if down to referee the U20 final
This competition has become a bit of a farce! Talented players getting lost to senior has destroyed the fabric of the competition. Reality is Kerry would win this competition if their ineligible players were on board.
HQ have pulled a fast one also putting the game on with the Dead rubber Dublin/Rossie game. Will give them an excuse to charge extra Euros in on the day.
The venue will be like an empty shell on the day and the atmosphere will dead.
Anyway best of luck to our lads! Winning a half arsed AI, is still winning a AI all the same!

The venue will be like an empty shell on the day and the atmosphere will dead.
Anyway best of luck to our lads! Winning a half arsed AI, is still winning a AI all the same!
Arra ffs Bunker, change the record. At the beginning of the year I don't think many Mayo people were expecting much from this group. Next thing Ros beat Galway, it opened the door to a Connacht title, but it still had to be won. Likewise the semi against Derry. I must say it's not an ideal venue from a Mayo pov, but it's on TG4 for people who don't want to go. Up Mayo.

I really hope we get over the line. Just you have to wonder who would be champions if Kerry had their eligible ineligible players available. It's sort of turned this competition into the Competition like the Junior intercounty.
Kildare won't be turning their noses up at an All-Ireland.
Roscommon beat the best team in the championship this year. There, I said it.

Nah lad, everything is banjaxed when the best u20s in Ireland are rescuing Kerry in the cash-grab senior championship rather than playing in the u20 AI. Interest in this competition has flatlined because the GAA ensured that it would.
That's it.

I know four people travelling from England tonight to watch Mayo tomorrow . I know how a small village in East Mayo are travelling in great numbers to watch their hero Cathal Horan wear the green and red with great pride .
How many people do you know are travelling from overseas to watch Roscommon tomorrow syfwrus?
Apologies to the decent rossies but this guy really is piece of work . I have to laugh though as I've only found out recently his identity...lol

Given that in early 2017 you argued that Clifford wasn't the best minor in Ireland, that's some U turn...
Evan Murphy was the best 2017 minor you pontificate whilst those with even cursory football knowledge knew Of Clifford.
Best Of luck to Mayo tomorrow, all Ireland finals need to be supported and promoted. I think you are against a very talented Kildarevside but finals won on the day not on paper....
I hear that Murphy lad has taken up socceryball with the Galway League of Ireland club.
This should be a good game tomorrow and I'm sure we'll be seeing many of the participants at Senior level next year or 2.
Have to support Kildare or the in laws mightn't give me any more free dinners or free parking on match days.

Fair play to them all for coming home, and the Kilmovee contingent.Unfortunately I won't make it myself. Please God they'll do it - show people we're not finished yet.
Watched back on the two semi finals recently. Full games on TG4 player and youtube if anyone wants to do likewise. Both sides play a very similar attacking brand of football and Kildare especially kick a lot of direct and fast ball into their inside line.
For Mayo both wing half backs and the two big powerful men in midfield is the strength of their team from what i see and almost everything in their forward line seems to go through or created by a roaming Ryan O'Donoghue. In Ross Egan they have a very good free taker and free taker of that quality is huge asset to have if you want to win AI final.
For Kildare Jimmy Hyland the clear stand out but i can imagine Mayo will have a plan in place that he doesn't stand out as much in tomorrow's final. Their forward line is full of pace and movement. Aaron Masterson was outstanding in midfield and he really needed to step up when his midfield partner went off at half time and his replacement went off injured soon after with what looked like a dislocated shoulder.
They look well organized side in defence and held a good Kerry side to just 7 scores from play 4 of those scores came in the last 10 mins but discipline in the tackle doesn't seem to be the best as they gave away a lot of frees and in a game they only won by 1 point i think Kerry are probably still wondering if only Fiachra Clifford was more hit than miss on his frees.
From a neutral perspective i would like to see Kildare winning as 53 years is already long enough to wait for AI and after beating Kerry,Dublin on route it will be awful heartbreaking for them if they are to fall at the final hurdle. Mayo have won two AIs recently minor 2013 and U21 2016 and in Michael Solan they have a manager that is looking to lead Mayo to a 2nd AI in 3 years
Hard game to call but i think the game played in Croke park gives Mayo an advantage. Their starting team have loads of players be it club or schools level that have played there already and won All Irelands. Mayo to win by a point or two i reckon and i wouldn't be surprised if it takes extra time to win.
Looking forward to tomorrow, would be great to win an all Ireland, devalued or not!! If we win, solan is surely senior manager in waiting

All the Kildare side would have won Leinster minor titles in Croke Park and played AI semi finals there.
Kildare much the better team in this U20 final so far and leading by 6 points. Mayo's defence very loose marking.
Mayo goal totally against the run of play only a 3 point game now.
Good game in an empty stadium. Some rate of scoring.
HT Kildare 1-13 Mayo 1-9. The scoreline doesn't tell the tale of the dominance Kildare had in that 1st half Mayo should be happy to find themselves just 4 points behind.
Excellent game even if Kildare are clearly the better team and don't think the result is in much doubt. Some really good players on both sides and both playing very attractive football. Mind you Mayo surely have to drop back a sweeper if they are to have any chance of winning.
Great start to the second half by mayo who look far from second best now.
Kildare 6 points ahead with about 15 minutes to play.
Quality of this game has dipped 2nd half and scores have dried up just 6 in total so far.
Just a 3 point game now and Mayo could have scored a goal a few minutes ago.
Jordan Flynn Mayo lost the head there. Pushing the ref after getting sent off.
FT Kildare 1-18 Mayo 1-16. Congrats to Kildare full deserved that win and their long wait for All Ireland title is over
Great game and hats off to Mayo who battled all the way against a really good Kildare team.
Well done Kildare. Better team right through. Mayo had a good goal chance towards the end saved well by keeper. Dominated midfield all day
Fair play to Kildare for going all the way after we beat them.
Kildare don't win All-Ireland's so absolutely brilliant for the lads and the county. Amazing achievement and what a journey for those lads, a great end to a rollercoaster summer of football for Kildare's inter county teams.
Poor 2nd half which Mayo won 0-7 to 0-5 but the damage was done first half and in truth Kildare should have led by about 7 or 8 points at the break and contest over. Well done to Kildare on deserved win they will hardly care about the margin of victory and IMO they will likely get more established senior footballers out of that U20 team than Mayo will.
Congrats to Kildare and very hard luck to our neighbours. Seemed like Kildare were worthy winners.
Would like to see Jimmy Hyland , Brian McLoughlin and Aaron Masterson brought into the senior panel and developed into senior intercounty footballers .
Good lord, just saw the red card incident. :o
Over the moon with that win. Long overdue.

Who would you bring straight into the senior panel, Dinny?
Fair play to Cian O'Neill, he resesited the temptation to call up some of these guys into the senior team. It's not easy to park your ego when you're only as good as your last game in this modern world and he was under massive pressure after the Carlow debacle. If he stays on he now has 6 maybe more All Ireland winners to call upon, the energy that will bring next year is an intangible but can only be a positive.
Davy Burke the manager is only 30 years old but has a great coaching age, he is developing quite a rep. A very possible future Kildare manager. Already guaranteed legendary status.
Well done Kildare and deserving winners and Jimmy Hyland is a gem of a forward

O'Neill, Giollain, Dempsey and Hyland are already there. I like Barret and McLoughlin who's been carrying an injury throughout. Masterson is a shoe in as O'Neill and Sweeney are club mates. Jack Robinson who opted out of this group to go travelling, he was pick of these as a minor could be another.

It was a clear Kildare free kick before he lost the plot too, complete irrational rage.
A couple of minutes before that, something happened the far side of the field. I didn't see clearly, but he seemed to be trying to get the ref's attention, and from where I was, he looked to be pointing at his eye.
Kildare full value for their win, but credit Mayo for hanging on and keeping it competitive.
Haven't looked at fb or twitter all day, but I wonder what the reaction is. Totally stupid, a 12 week ban for him now more than likely. Maybe more. Well done Kildare, it was an enjoyable enough game. At least our lads hung in there until the end after going well behind early on. Unfortunately hanging in there isn't good enough to win.

A few clowns having a go at him, he's not the first player to lose control of his emotions. It didn't cost his team, I would give him a 12 week ban though. You just have to lay down zero tolerance. Good player though.
What was Flynn sent off for originally does anyone know? The TV had the Mayo management on the screen when the incident happened and their reaction said it all. I presume he will get at least 12 week ban for pushing the ref

I seen it mentioned somewhere that he had pushed the ref originally and thats why he was getting the red only to do it again. If that's the case it quite possibly could be 6 or 12 month ban as it would hardly fall under minor interference category
It was Joey Barton esque, swinging at anything that moved on his way off.

Well done Kildare. Exciting game and the obligatory nervy finish.
Was shouting for ye so dinner and parking sorted out for if we ever get to Croker again.
O'Neill , Mastension and Hyland will no doubt be serious additions for ye're Seniors next year.
Mayo folk beside me said he struck the referee before he got Darragh Ryan by the neck. I think it happened while it cut to Solan reacted. If it is the case he did it twice he should be looking at a lot more than 3 months. I'm not sure if the first one was a punch.

Yes he did something very stupid to cause that reaction from Solan.
Was at the match and definitely saw him push the ref then push Kildare man so must have done it twice, have to feel for him though... under 20 biggest game of your life

I'd give O'Neill another year in the u20's unless Donnellan loses his form/confidence. O'Neill has nearly everything but he is not 19 until December and Donnellan is a better shotstopper still. Serious prospect though.
Mark Barrett is underage again next year too so I'd let him develop a bit further but Mark Dempsey will be a welcome addition to the full back line, should free up David Hyland to go out to the half back line possibly.
Masterson will probably go in ahead of Moolick but it will need Feely to play more defensively as Masterson is fairly attack minded.
Tony Archibald and Paddy Woodgate deserve a call up too. Archibald has some engine and has done well at club level for Celbridge. Woodgate was on the senior panel in 2017 and his performances improved greatly through the championship. Nash might be a bit unlucky if he doesn't get called up but with Niall Kelly and Chris Healy being similar it will be hard to get in.
McLoughlin played O'Byrne cup against Louth in terrible conditions in January and didn't get into the game but he will get another chance.
Hopefully the players all perform for their clubs in the championship and keep improving. Today was a good day.

He be looking at a year for that! Stupidest thing i seen on a football field!
Deserved win for Kildare today, their 13 and 14 are serious footballers, looked
Like they'd steam roll us but fair play to Mayo they stuck at it. Tactically very naive, not sure how you could leave that full back line that exposed. Maughan was a big loss.
Special mention to Kildares keeper, some kick out. They'd a big lad in the middle also, won a serious amount of possession.
Not really sure how we were so close and could have won it if that goal chance had gone in. It would have been daylight robbery
QuoteStupidest thing i seen on a football field!
You must have seen the Mayo bull?
RTE showed two minutes highlights of the U20 All Ireland final tonight. The analysis was Pat Spillane basically naming a few Kildare players he likes and how he would like to manage Kildare. ;D
Seems to be a lot of serious young footballers coming out of Kildare.
They should surely be able to assemble a team to at least begin challenging the Dubs in Leinster over the next few years?
They have been beating them regularly at minor over the last while.

We have been very competitive with them in underage for nearly 10 years on a head to head basis but Dublin were able to go on and win All Irelands which we weren't until now. There is a huge gap to close but this group will have to believe they can and do whatever they can to do so.

Well done Kildare lads on here. Deserved win.
We won a bit of a shoot-out against Derry that could have gone either way. I don't think we could or should have changed tack for this. It was what it was. One on one we didn't cope with Kildare inside - Hyland in particular.
Midfield was in trouble v Derry and again today. Meant in both games we couldnt get any control on things.
We might get a couple of players out of this group. I'm thinking two but a few are only 18 so .......

He pushed the ref while the camera was on Solan, stupid act he'll get a lengthy ban
Won't be good for his development, he looked decent good size and engine.
I thought it was Mikey Conroy that went in to try and sort him out.
I don't think we will be seeing him in green and red again after that. Ye cant do that. Well you can, but if you do you are a goner.
Stupid cub, what else can you say?
I kind of feel sorry for the lad because the head just went. No doubt he'll regret that quickly and for a long time.
It'll be a harsh lesson but you cant do that
Theres no excuse for it. Deserves significantly longer than 12 weeks
Another example of poor discipline in Mayo, Must of have been coached by the O Connor Brothers.
Well done Kildare, Underage age going well and perhaps well enough to challenge Dublin again in a few years.

I thought Flynn done very well v Derry.
Was shocked we didn't put some protection in behind FB line at least then we might of taken a chance on getting out in front of their nippy inside forwards . It was painful to watch them get so far out in front every time .
It's hard to know how many we will get for senior out of these guys , I'm told the bulk of them are underage again next year.
Entertaining game yesterday. We were taken to the cleaners for about 20 minutes in that first half, don't know how we were only 4 down at the break. A bit frustrating how the 2nd half played out. We cut the gap to 2 early on and looked to be in a good position to push on but it didn't happen. A few wides killed our momentum. Kildare deserving winners no doubt.
A lot of our lads have talent but are a bit on the small side, McLaughlin, O'Donoghue and Colm Moran especially. Next year will probably come too soon for them in terms of the seniors. Conor Diskin looks to have the physical attributes but is a bit raw yet as a footballer.
For Kildare I could see their goalkeeper, number 8 and Hyland going straight into the senior team.
Not much else can be said about the red card and I'd worry the book could be thrown at him. Whatever about getting frustrated and pushing the ref once, to then go for the Kildare lad and have another pop at the ref on the way off?
That first half performance was the best I've ever seen from any kildare team in croke park. The tears were streaming down my face when the lads went up to lift the trophy and now as I rest my sore head we can look forward to the future with real hope.
Watching the pre match chat back, the Mayo manager Sloan when asked did he have a plan for the Kildare full forward line stated he was only worried about his own team's performance. Kildare's full forward line scored 1-14 all but 3 from play. Doesn't reflect well.

One for the Mayo lads.
Yes Barry and Mike are brothers , from Ballagh.
Fingers crossed Solan gets the senior Mayo job when Rochford is eventually jettisoned.
Good man Flanagan
First half was a great game of football. Neither team played with a sweeper and it was real man on man, forward v defender. Some lovely scores by both teams.
Never seen anything like the red card before. He actually pushed the ref twice!!! It was only the second one that was caught by the tv cameras.
At the very a least 6 month suspension. The amount of people defending him/ claiming it's one of those things is incredible. He's not the first player in a minor or U21 game to be sent off in croke park and he won't be the last. You can't react like that and the GAA need to hand out appropriate punishment.

No one's defending him but he doesn't need to be called out here or on social media. He will get a deserved lengthy ban.

Agree - he's what ? 19? He f**ked up big time but its not a hanging offence. Hopefully he gets an appropriate punishment, learns his lesson and then dusts himself down and plays again. He was wrong but it wasn't GBH either.
It a pity didn't get to see David Clifford and Seanie O'Shea play with kerry in this competition.
That was Kerry's choice.
Kildare made a different choice.
Anyway better for Ireland and the GAA to see Kildare winning an AI than feckin Kerry ;D

In the rule book it states that minor interference includes pushing or shoving which is only a 12 week ban, possibly 24 week with two pushes. If there was a strike he will be in a lot more trouble. The level of his rage is still hard to get my head around.
Said it before Disgrace Kerry were not allowed use their Senior Under 20 players. Makes the competition a farce. That's not sour grapes. Said this before the final result. Happy to see Kildare win a national title if not us. Just it does feel like a competition proper anymore.

I heard the commentary in MidWest. Seemingly there was an ongoing ltussle off the ball initiated by the Kildare lad. Maybe Flynns frustration/rage with the officials was due to the inaction of the officials. The commentators implied that the officials seemed to be turning a blind eye to what was going on, and this was stated before he got carded
There were a few little tussles going on alright but he was feckin wired. Like a Mayo man was booked for one too so local radio bias might have been in play a bit too.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Flynn also completely took out Kildare's corner back in the first half under the Cusack and it wasn't even a tick, when it was a blatant black.
It was far more than minor interference but i wouldn't like to see him hung out to dry.
Just copped that the ref was the same fella that Kevin McStay pushed during the Donegal game.

That was at the start of the second half, it was Evan O'Brien. It was the far side of the pitch to me but looked a clear black. The ref played advantage and it ran on for a long time. The next break in play O'Brien was subbed off. The ref dodnt seem to be looking around for him though

That was in front of me - I thought it was accidental collision, but could easily have been given a black alright.

I'm fairly certain that was Flynn midway through the second half. I remember wondering why they subbed off O'Brien straight away in case the ref came back and black carded Flynn. In hindsight getting a black card at that point would have been better for everyone.
A great day for Kildare football and just reward for the work started by Bryan Murphy and Syl Merrins over ten years ago. Hopefully this is not just a once off and we can push on now and consistently challenge at All Ireland level at minor and u20. Naas CBS winning the Leinster colleges this year bodes well for the future.
Obviously Jimmy Hyland has generated huge hype over the last few weeks and he lived up to all expectations on Sunday. He had that natural ability at schools level and at minor a few years ago but there was a fear that the cruciate injury would blunt his development. Not a bit of it. Physically he added a bit of bulk and he now looks a senior footballer in waiting. There will be plenty of corner backs from intermediate clubs around Kildare having sleepless nights thinking about the prospect of marking Jimmy over the next few weeks!
Brian McLoughlin and Aaron Masterson should make an impact at senior level once they fill into their frames a bit more. Going on his displays for Moorefield in the Leinster club championship, Mark Dempsey could have probably done a job for the Kildare seniors this year but credit to the senior management for resisting the temptation to throw himself and Hyland in after the Carlow debacle. Aaron O'Neill and Mark Barrett are still underage next year and I'd be inclined to take the same course of action again and leave them with their own age group.
Ruadhan Ó Giolláin was desperately unfortunate and he is another I think can make the step up next year. It was a nice touch by the team to visit him on the journey home. This group appear quite tightly knit and Davy Burke and his management team have excelled themselves as the year has gone on. This looked a long way off when we were leaking goals to Laois and Meath during the Leinster championship but the management learned and made the necessary changes. A feature of this team's run has been the impact that players off the bench have had. That was in evidence again on Sunday with John O'Toole in particular having a big impact despite his loss of form earlier in the campaign.
They certainly earned this All Ireland having beaten Dublin, Kerry and Mayo. Mayo had a few players who look like they have the potential to make an impact over the next few years. I thought the centre back Cathal Horan and the centre forward Ryan O'Donoghue were impressive and did more than most to keep Mayo in the game right until the end. I feel a bit of sympathy for Jordan Flynn. You can't condone what he did but Sunday might possibly be the biggest game he will ever play in and he will have to live with that memory for the rest of his life. The Mayo crowd sitting beside me said that he was known to have a short fuse and you could see that after half time. He took John O'Toole out of it with a late tackle under the Cusack Stand early in the second half and got involved with Jimmy Hyland a few minutes before the sending off. He'll get a long ban for the two incidents with the referee and rightly so but hopefully he'll learn from it.

Will Davy Burke be in charge next year, interesting to say what he could do with those players? Leinster will be competitive next year as there was no outstanding minor team in 2017 (Dublin won it but during their run only beat Meath by 2 after extra time and Kildare by 5. Meath were the dominant u17 team last year beating Kildare by 4 and Dublin by 5. Laois could be thereabouts as well, two decent teams in 2017.
Also the group stages in Leinster will allow teams develop and a great addition, without it Kildare would not have won the AI.
Look Jordon will get his ban, a deserving one but this gawd bless us and save us brigade that surrounds GAA need to go away. Several Mayo people said he should never play again for Mayo , my response was to get a grip , if he his any addition to Mayo he should be added.

I'd hope Burke will be in charge again next year. A lot depends on Cian O'Neill. If the senior job becomes available then Burke will definitely be on the shortlist.
Aaron O'Neill, Mark Barrett, DJ Earley, Daragh Ryan, Shane O'Sullivan, Jack Barrett and Jack Cully are eligible again by my reckoning. Possibly one or two others.
A lot of people claiming that Mayo should have adopted a sweeper but it's very hard to change to a defensive system when you have been playing an attacking brand of football in all of the games prior to the final. I think that we had to take them on in a shootout, the problem was that we could win very little primary possession around the middle.
The fact that we lost the game by only 2 points with at most 40% possession tells it's own story. I wouldn't blame management tactically but they do have to ship some of the blame for for not changing the restart strategy sooner. The amount of Kildare scores that came directly from Mayo kickouts was criminal and you can't expect to win an All-Ireland when that's going on.
All in all though, a very positive campaign considering there wasn't much hope for this group at the start of the year. I'd expect to see O Donoghue, Diskin, Colm Moran and maybe Flynn (if he can get his head right) introduced to the senior panel next year. Tommy Conroy has another year under 20 but he's another to watch down the line.

FFS, he is still only a garsún and acted in the heat of the moment. Different if he was a few years older. I don't expect that he will get off lightly but for Chrissake, his detractors should have a sense of perspective.

Ive no doubt he will be back , when he serves what ever ban he gets . he has a good heads for advice around him.
the only danger is he'll go Egg chasing where such activity is lauded become the stuff of after dinner story legend
I reckon 6 months will see him right as it was a push rather than a strike , (and maybe a few classes in anger management )

How do you suggest that would work, given that almost all underage players pass into a higher age grade within 1-2 years and a 5 or 10 match ban for any 20 y/o playing U20 would actually be a no match ban?

Inter County ban whatever the grade and carried over. In other words Mayo couldn't play him for the seniors until that ban ends. As it stands Mayo could now play him in the FBD in January missing no county match at all. Same goes for Kevin McStay games instead of weeks should be his ban.

So if he didn't graduate to intercounty seniors, as many U20s won't, he'd never serve a minute's suspension?
And if he's not picked for intercounty seniors until he's 25 or 26, he'd have to serve a long suspension at that point?
Both of those scenarios are insane.
Much better for him to serve his sentence now and most likely miss out on all club activity for the rest of year for what was a very serious offence.

But if it's purely intercounty he could play with his club a week after the red card. As it stands he'll probably miss about 10 club games between senior and u21. He's unlikely to be brought straight into the seniors after that.

These bans are so stupidly arbitrary in length it's laughable to suggest changing it from time to games without addressing the many inconsistencies and numerous cases where bans are overturned or reduced first.

Look Jordon will get his ban, a deserving one but this gawd bless us and save us brigade that surrounds GAA need to go away. Several Mayo people said he should never play again for Mayo , my response was to get a grip , if he his any addition to Mayo he should be added.
Did the kildare player who spat at him get banned?
Troll
Just ignore him Mup, school starts back soon.
I joked that the senior championship would next bring in a group stage for the final four but now it seems such silliness will be brought into the u20 championship.
Whats the benefit of that? To give the underdog less chance of reaching or winning this All Ireland. Kerry no surprise like this new format. Another new change is seniors will be allowed to play U20 if their senior teams are knocked out hmmm.
