Seems like a lot of similar old failings for mayo - concession of goals, trying to run everything from the back despite this 20s team having good forwards.

Andy had them well drilled to foul in that last 15-20 to prevent any chance of a goal. Again something mayo could do with learning.

I'd say that was Ryan Jones of Derygonnelly and Fermanagh's influence. Andy be too honest for that kind of behaviour.

Is it top 2 or top 4 that gets through?

Blowitupref · April 10, 2024, 10:39:09 PM

Top into the final. 2nd v 3rd has a semi final.

1st straight to Final
2nd and 3rd play a semi final.
An awful evening with rain and a cross wind which made any kind of good football near impossible.
Our lads fought to the end and deserved the late equaliser.
Even allowing for the conditions I doubt if either team will be troubling Jarlath with a trophy presentation.

That's a fair system can't have any complaints with that.

Some amount of draws though very competitive 😅

Yes U16s beat Kerry in their tournament cup final last year, high expectations on that group.

Well done our lads, a big win tonight and thanks to Sligo we're straight to the Final.

Sligo will be gunning for revenge v Galway in the Semi and we might well see a repeat of the 21 Minor Final. A different result this time please.

It was a great competition. Going into that last round, it could have went anyway. All 5 were in contention for top 3 spots. At half time Mayo were poised to win the group because they had the most points in a 3 way playoff between Galway, Ros and Mayo. With Sligo storming to a win after a second half comeback, Mayo went from 1st to last in the group. BTW where have all the Sligonians gone?
