Does the all Ireland follow the senior draws for both u17 and u20?
Ulster v Con
Mun v Leinster
Any thoughts on favourites from both age groups? Tyrone beat in u20 warm up competition final by Donegal but beat the in ulster Semi. Our minors won the warm up comp and should be there or thereabouts at all Ireland level too.
U-20's definitely in with a shout I'd say; v strong up the middle
U20 AI semi finals are
Connacht (Sligo) v Leinster (Dublin or Kildare)
Ulster (Tyrone or Cavan) v Munster (Kerry or Cork)
Not sure about U17 only see provincial fixtures.

Good pace to it - Dublin happier to be level at the half.
Dublin's shooting much more efficient than Kildare.
Would favour Dublin to win it.
Congratulations to Kildare 0-17 to 0-15 winners. Dublin very wasteful late on.
Very good game. Dublin lacked composure in the last few minutes, some terrible misses to go level. Kildare a bit more composed and deserved winners
Delighted to be wrong on that one.
Kildare found their shooting boots and Dublin lost theirs in the 2nd half.
A right good game of football.
Well done to Kildare. Better team won.
Kildare could been well clear early on, missed a couoje of half goal chances first half.

Kildare 0-5 Sligo 0-2
Kildare on top but some very poor shooting.Kildare with 8 wides and 4 dropped shorts on 24 minutes.
Sligo with some wides as well but struggling to create shooting chances.
Kildare looking very like they will win this but still only a 3 point gap.
Sligo will probably need at least 2 goals
HT Kildare 0-8 Sligo 0-3. Kildare good value for that lead. Sligo will need goals but don't look like creating any against a solid Kildare defence
Kildare 0-8 Sligo 0-3
Kildare probably could have the game won with the amount of chances they have had.
Very wasteful with their shooting.
Sligo struggling to create scoring chances.
A very poor game of football so far
Kildare 0-9 Sligo 0-7
9 minutes left.
Kildare 0-12 Sligo 0-7
Poor enough fare.
Kildare get the win despite turning in a very poor shooting performance.
Not the worst way to be heading into a final though - will really need to have a better shooting day in the final to a have a chance - can't see a repeat of this shooting performance being enough to win the final.
Sligo never really looked like getting the win.
Five point margin at half time and that's how it finished. Best team certainly won thanks mostly to a solid defensive. showing. FT Kildare 0-12 Sligo 0-7
HT Kerry 0-6 Tyrone 0-5. As even as the scoreline suggests. Tyrone was down to 14 men earlier in the game with the full back getting a black. Full forward for Tyrone crashed a shot off the crossbar.
Was that a black then red or just a black? Very even game this. Bit more in Kerry I think but extra man may swing it.

I was thinking that but I also think you interpret that as an arm round the neck or a drag down so close enough call.

It shouldn't have been a black. It was a yellow card offence.
Not before time that we go back to yellow and red cards only.
FT Tyrone 1-14 Kerry 1-12 . Ciaran Bogue goal in the last 3 minutes of normal time was key in a contest between two well matched sides. Tyrone the first ever Ulster team into the U20 All-Ireland final

Canavan looks a very good player. Are U20 players allowed to play senior championship in the same season once the competition is over cos he looks equipped to play senior at some stage in the future anyway. The Tyrone hoodoo over Kerry continues.

It's not a "hoodoo", they just haven't beaten us at any grade in this decade,the 20s! ;)
Very enjoyable game. Tyrone were the better team. Some terrific points. It was there for Kerry too but on too many occasions took too much out of ball and soloed into trouble.
Fantastic game game, great advertisement for this age grade. Some of the defending in the first half was unreal, the commitment of both teams was admirable.
Final down for next weekend, looking forward to it.
McGleenan's cub is a brute.
It was his sheer size that created the goal. (Tbf to him too he lost a free just before it which looked like it might swing the game in Kerry's favour but worked his ass off to get it back)

Why not Croker? the u20 AI final is a showpiece game, deserves the full royal treatment, not to be shafted to the sidelines. Last year's game was superb.
They've given the U20s championship the two fingers, much like they ruined the minor championship putting it to u17. No curtain raisers to senior matches either anymore it seems.
I'm not surprised they didn't do the double header in Croke Park with Kildare seniors. Would love justification from Central committee on these decisions but GAA don't do transparency.
They've shafted so much of the football and hurling competitions with awful scheduling, promotion, and formats.
Imagine how bad it's going to get when they merge with the LGFA and Camoige associations and they have to be accommodated. They'll demand peak scheduling times and equality treatment.

Don't know and it never seemed to be in the running to host it.
You would have to say the people currently running the gaa are either incredibly clueless or want to ruin inter county gaa.
Change after change in recent years and none of them for the better. Messing about with minors by changing the age and then removing it as curtain raisers to the senior games. There is no logic in this and takes away the prestige of playing underage football for your county. Instead of being watched by thousands the games are now played out in front of a few hundred people maximum with little or no coverage.
Then you have the scheduling of this u20 final. A great opportunity to put the final in croke park and get a decent Kildare support in. Instead they seem to be trying to get the lowest attendance possible. Scheduling it for 5pm on a Saturday and then charging 25 euro in to a game on tv is a crazy call. Never mind picking Leitrim as the venue which is handy for no one.
At senior level next years format is the most ridiculous they could have came up with. Currently there are too many warm up games in the calendar. Currently you have pre season games which are a warm up for the league which itself is a warm up for the championship. None of the games mean anything in the grand scheme of the season. Instead of trying to link the league to the championship they have come up with this crazy format of keeping it and then playing a provincial championship which will become redundant as you will get to the same place in the championship anyway. Then after that you have group stages with only 1 team out of 4 getting elimated.
agree on the youth piece at least..shambolic decision to play that game in Leitrim..
Another absurd decision by the mysterious Central Competition Control Commitee. Where nobody knows who is on the commitee and we can only guess from newspaper reports.
Democracy GAA style.

Isn't a factor at senior level and Kildare already played a semi final in Cavan so presumably would have been happy to go back there for a final.
They played a Connacht team at an Ulster venue.

Exactly
It wouldnt have done any harm spacing it out another week either
Tyrone GAA should protest against this insult, Croke Park or No Park.
Needed both teams to request Croke Park for it even to be considered. Tyrone did not make the request as I understand it. Ticket prices for fans would presumably be more expensive as part of the triple bill.
But it's rare for the U20/21 final to be played in Croker.

It was rare for U21. 3 of the 4 U20 All-Ireland finals was played in Croke Park. On ticket prices Kildare supporters will have to fork out an extra 25€ on tickets now if they are to attend both Saturdays final and the senior semi final on Sunday.

And add in the high cost of fueling them Range Rovers ::) Hound, on occasion offers common sense but he's experienced a memory lapse of sorts, maybe due to Dublin not reaching the final.

Given they've set the price at €25 for Saturday (it's €30 euro on Sunday with option of cheaper hill tickets) I don't think this was much of a factor. The only difficulty on Sunday was a relatively early start but it definitely made more sense to play it in Croke Park with Kildare already there and would have led to a healthy Kildare attendance.

Have Tipp or Cork anything to play for? I don't think Tipperary do and if Cork don't they should be the curtain-raiser.

Kildare and Dublin into the Leinster U17 final and All-Ireland quarter finals with their comfortable semi final wins against Wicklow, Offaly tonight.
Venue aside I'm looking forward to this u20 final on Saturday. Kildare were very impressive against Dublin and based on that should probably be favourites. But either way there shouldn't be much in it. From a Tyrone point of view it's nice to see so many familiar names involved - Canavan, Cush, McGleenan, Donaghy. Kildare will be better defensively which will make it difficult for Canavan to be as dominant as against Kerry. Hopefully the venue doesn't put too many off as the players deserve to a decent crowd for such a big game.
It will be a great day if the sons some day take a Celtic Cross medal back home.

100% I doubt too many involved will spare a thought for the FA cup final to be fair.
Irrespective of your views on either it shouldn't clash like this. They're meant to be promoting big gaa events. Nit putting them on at the same time as other big events. If it couldn't be helped then fair enough but really
Not sure the FA Cup final is as big as it used to be. Don't think many will care about it outside Liverpool fans and even then they're in the Champions League final and title race.
I'll have the U20s game on instead. English soccer is gone stale for me too much money.
On to the game itself. I actually fancy Kildare to win this. Cavan should have beaten Tyrone. Kildare had several decent wins including against Offaly the reigning champions and Dublin and Sligo.
I note Kildare have drifted out to 2/1 which is a big price. I consider this at best a 50/50 match up. Perhaps some are swayed by Canavan and the names in Tyrone line up. Good players no doubt but it's a 15 man game.

Usually a lot of teams that reaches these underage final gets a big scare on route. Tyrone got that against Cavan and needed extra time to overcome Donegal and Kerry game could have gone either way.
For Kildare their quarter-final tie stands out.
Quote
With two points between the sides, in the last action of the game, a slack pass by Kildare full back Dean O’Donoghue presented Oisin Hooney with a glorious chance to score a match winning goal but agonisingly for Laois his shot with the last kick of the match went inches past the post.
Lively contest 1-3 after 16 Minutes with a good atmosphere that would probably be lost in Croke park?
Tyrone well on top have better forwards leading 1 8 to 1. 4. Seem to struggle at midfield but it seems they got it sorted. Kildare free makes it a 3 point game. Canavan outstanding.

The oul apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Brilliant footballer.
Canavan unreal - so nice to watch as a player.
Great balance, control and accurate shooting off both feet.
Unreal performance. Defence strong and disciplined. Potent in attack. Canavan had an unreal game as did young Devlin.
Congratulations to Tyrone they simply attacked and defended better than Kildare.
Well Tyrone proved me wrong there, some outstanding scores kicked by Tyrone from all angles. Ruari Canavan is a special talent, I'm not one to hype youth players coming through but he will be surely a stalwart for Tyrone seniors in future. Few others there also Kush, and number 10 and 7 kicked serious scores. And McGleenan junior is a bear of a man in midfield. Definitely a few lads there can add to Tyrone seniors.
Is Mrs Canavans biological clock still ticking lol must be one proud mum.
The quality of ball going into the forwards was key to winning. Lovely low balls ideal for running on to. Backs were teak tough and well organized. I think there's a brave whean of that team available next year to. I fancy Tyrone to win minors as well.
Kildare had an off day really, some very poor wides throughout. The difference in finishing scores was huge.

Kildare's finishing against Sligo in the semi-final was way worse than today.
Their finishing in the Leinster final was very average as well.
Don't think you can put today's finishing down to an off day, when they performed much worse in their previous game and about the same in the game prior to that.
Tyrone well deserving winners.

So what is the curtain raiser to the all Ireland football final?
It doesn't seem to be the u17 final, it's not tailteann, any ideas? College football game?
Has there been a curtain raiser the last few years?
They don't really need one - it would mean a few more thousand tickets for the counties in the senior final.
Much better name off with an early game, should be tailteann, but minor final works too. If nothing else won't it give the dubs a chance to filter in on time. Mad rush for entrance at the same time now, carnage. I'd imagine they'll have something, we haven't had full capacity the last 2 years.
The ticket thing is overblown imo, how many instances are there where genuine fans don't get tickets from some source?
Was watching Tyrone/Donegal u17 game yesterday on YouTube and I felt bad for the penalty takers it looked fierce mucky.
There was over 5500 people watching it at one point.
Has Tyrone lost many players from last years u17 team?

Yes, completely different side
Last years u17 sides was one of the best Tyrone minor sides I'd seen
Top 20 players of the U20 championship
Cormac Barker (Kildare)
Harry O'Neill (Kildare)
Tommy Gill (Kildare)
Niall Devlin (Tyrone)
Brian Conway (Tyrone)
Eoin Corry (Tyrone)
Jack Lavin (Sligo)
Sam Callinan (Mayo)
Cian Reilly (Cavan)
Adam Waddick (Dublin)
Joseph Keaney (Sligo)
Canice Mulligan (Sligo)
Sean O'Donnell (Tyrone)
Ruairi Canavan (Tyrone)
Adam Fanning (Kildare)
Darragh Lovett (Cavan)
Dylan Geaney (Kerry)
Evan Looney (Kerry)
Cillian Burke (Kerry)
Luke Breathnach (Dublin)
County Breakdown:
Tyrone 5
Kildare 4
Kerry 3
Sligo 3
Dublin 2
Cavan 2
Mayo 1
Munster U17 final half time
Cork 1- 09
Kerry 0 - 05
Big Cork No.9 slaps Kerry No.8 on the face, would been send off if the Kerry man went down. 2/3mins later Kerry No. 6 taps him (think is the same lad) in the stomach as the big bollacks was throwing his weight round and he down like he shot and the Kerry lad off. These cubs watch too much soccer these days.
Ref hasn't a clue, Kerry lad was charging, should been a free out, booked the Cork lad for standing his ground too.
As i said on the Munster thread, Kerry Minors defeated Cork 1-16 to 0-5 in Tralee a few weeks ago. Some turnaround which shows the unpredictable nature of underage football sometimes.
Very big Cork minor team though
Sin e
Cork.3-10
Kerry 0-08
So next week in the quarter finals it's:
Derry v Cork
Tyrone v Kerry
Details on U17s All Ireland Quarter finals (Connacht final on tonight)

How hard was it to fix the Mayo v Kildare senior and minor games in one venue on the same day? These same grey haired men in suits at HQ haven't a clue and are responsible for chopping and changing the rules of the game and formats of its competitions is it any wonder we are left with worse than what we began with.
U17 and U20 grade is not improvement on the former U18 and U21 grades and now they think all will be solved with U19 grade.

Do you honestly think it's an improvement?
I was responding to yer man's blunderbuss attack on everything new ;D
Now that you ask u20 and u17 were brought in for burn out reasons.
The u20 Championships have given some great games of football every bit as good as u21 did.
Seems a feeling out there now that u17 is too young to be having fully fledged inter Co Championships. Also seems an ongoing view in some section of HQ/CC for years that there should be u19 competition.
I wouldn't be in favour of abolishing u17 and u20 for a single u19.

Burn out...
Much was made of Cathal O'Neill of Limerick not able to play for the U20's after he'd made an appearance for their senior hurlers and TBH I think the current ruling is correct and should be stuck with.
That is the only proper rule within the GAA that addresses burn out in a meaningful way, moving minor to U17 has done nothing but cause lads to leave the game a year earlier as U19 at club level as getting U19 club fixtures a slot has proved to be an issue in most counties.
The young lads should be allowed to play, but only if they train and play with the 20s. There should be a maximum no. of training sessions per week collectively.

Tyrone are been held bck by their managers style of play, they plenty of good Forwards there. They go 40mins and score only 2 points
What's the score lads?
Kerry 0:08 Tyrone 1:04, very poor given they be 2 fairly good teams.

Unfortunately for Tyrone we had our worst performance of the year on the knock out day. Didn't get going at all, surprised they didn't go for more long range shots in second half with the wind. Derry going well against Cork, rubs salt in the wound when you've just beat them well in ulster.

Derry will be sick after that, terrible naivety and game management throughout, they played like a team that thought their natural talent would get them over the line eventually. Tyrone well organised and very efficient with no shortage of talent. I don't know how strong the other teams round the country are but you could see one or both back in the AIF.
My comments above after the UMF, not hugely surprised at today's scores, Derry beat themselves in Clones, were clearly the better side but played as individuals. Had both minor games on on the tablet today while watching Croke Park today but Derry were clearly were more team focused today rather than on individual glory hunts. The Tyrone v Kerry game was a hard watch.
Tyrone mightnt have won the All Ireland but nice to have a but of silverware in the back pocket. Good luck to the Derry TEAM going forward
Both minor games today were very low scoring.
Is it the pressure of not losing?
Thought that side overachieved winning Ulster and half expected this today. I hope Derry go on to win it. Coupled with the MacRory success, the future is bright for them as well as ourselves.

I didn't see the Tyrone game but was surprised that they were kept to such a low score today , I saw them against Donegal in the semi final as well as the Ulster Final and they had some serious quality in the forward line in McElohm and Grimes amongst others.
Derry should clocked 18pts, a few lads keep trying to work for goals instead just taking the points on offer.

Galway much the better team against Dublin especially after the opening 15 mins. Galway missed a pen and butchered plenty of other goal opportunities, they did well to recover after only last losing to Mayo 6 days previously.

Looking like it unless they can come to some arrangement where your ticket for Croke Park gains you entry into this game. But this is the GAA we are talking about so Christ only knows. Expect to have to pay again to get into this one.

That would have meant Dublin and Kerry/Mayo being the curtain-raiser to one of the other games and god forbid that would happen. If Kerry or Dublin were in the first game of the day would their supporters stay on for the second game? Or am I being unfair?

Sure they Galway supporters will all be in the one car, one lad drives one day and another the next and it'll be grand.
No reason game shouldn't been in Croke Park, Derry supporters not attend due to the tightness of getting to both games in traffic, and Galway, its too far, plus if in Croke Park they wouldn't attended due to price of ticket. So they picked the worst choice of both cases. At least the players could got to play in front of a big crowd like the ulster final if in Croke Park.

From Eden Quay regular buses leave. Numbers 14,15, 27,27a,27b. Get off at Donnycarney church roughly a 5 minute walk to Parnell Park from there.
42 bus will also get you there. They all stop at the bus stop across the road from Connolly Station as well. Eden Quay or Talbot St also good places to leave from.

Soft free a minute ago but cracking goal
That was a black card mind you...
Derry made no use of the extra man (black card) out scored 1-2 to 0-2.
Never seen as much fumbling when in good positions. I rarely give off to the tv but have done so a few times today. Must be gettin old
Yeah Galway are a bit better but Derry appear to be having on of those days too and are making a lot of unforced errors.
Good fight back by Derry. Could have squared it up but wasn't to be unfortunately.
Fair play to Derry there, nearly pulled it back
Galway stopped playing
Galway fell over the line. Probably win it out now.
Great fightback if Derry had played at all first half... ah well
Hard luck on Derry in the end, Galway chit the test.
FT Galway 2-9 Derry 1-11. Best side won although could easily have allowed Derry grab extra time. Few would have predicted Galway to reach the All-Ireland final after losing 3 games in the Connacht championship.
Galway made real hard work of that.
Mayo are the outstanding team at this grade by a distance from what we've seen to date.
Galway looked dangerous when they played
Been a lot of good Galway youth recently, will it translate to senior? There was a boy hernon who got what looked like a bad injury on the throw-up a few years back, has he kicked on?
7 point gap proved too big for Derry and didn't play their best football until it looked a lost cause. Goals conceded was the first score in each half by Galway and was key in their win.
Played very well until the last 15 mins-ish.
Our kick outs almost cost us the game in that period.
Even with an extra man we lost pretty much every one of our own kick outs.
Still we'll take it. Up to that Galway we're by far the better team.
HT Mayo 1-5 Kerry 0-6. 20 minutes played Kerry led 5-1. A Mayo goal totally against the run of play has swung this contest.

Derry kickout strategy in the first 15 mins of 2nd half was not good either.
I'd much prefer this being reverted to u18, that extra year adds a lot in terms of physical development and there's little obvious rationale behind continuing with this experiment imo. Causing huge issues countrywide at club level too.

Mayo all over the place before the goal. Still anyones game. Minor football is all about momentum.
Mayo don't look like the same team as they did in Connacht at all. Sloppy passing, getting cleaned in midfield. Still flashes of good play or individual moments but very disjointed in general

When they played Galway, they went in as a blank page for their opponents. Kerry will have analysed their play and their key men to nullify .
FT Mayo 1-8 Kerry 0-9. Strong finish to the 1st half proved the difference here. Great for Connacht football to have Connacht All-Ireland final.
Both Mayo and Kerry poor. Mayo got more their share of calls from the Referee.
We'll take it, better to win a dour game than to lose a classic!

Sure it's a round robin system in Connacht. Galway were already through to the Connacht semi final and guaranteed home advantage before the final group game because they'd hammered Sligo & Roscommon. So they made 8 changes and lost that game.
Then lost the final. There has been a back door for provincial losers at minor level for years now.
Cork won the minor in 2019 having already lost twice to Kerry in Munster.
This is what can happen when round robin systems are used.

Galway looked dangerous when they played
Been a lot of good Galway youth recently, will it translate to senior? There was a boy hernon who got what looked like a bad injury on the throw-up a few years back, has he kicked on?
This will be Galway's 6th minor or u20/21 final in the last 6 years, won an u21 final in 2013 too but only Comer & Walsh still around from that team. Glynn, Patrick Kelly, & Tierney who started all won an u20 medal in 2020.
Hernon was still u20 this year but was injured, he did his cruciate on holiday. Not sure if that someone this year of last but he was always excellent anytime I've seen him.
Has there been a venue decided for the final?

Down for the same day as the Galway Derry game, surely a bit of common sense and put it back a week.

It's on the Friday evening in Hyde Park.
Hyde is the obvious place seeing as a Croke Park triple header isn't in the running.
Still "TBC" per gaa.ie

Is that confirmed. A first to play All Ireland final on a Friday evening.

10 or 11 days away and still no day, time and venue for this All-Ireland final. Shows the lack of respect HQ have for this competition. Of course they are determined to get rid the U17 AI series and bring in provincial only tournaments and scrap U20 they only brought in 4 years ago for the U19 grade.
Finally confirmed. Friday July 8th in Dr Hyde Park.
How the hell can you lose 3 matches in championship but still make an All Ireland final? Makes no sense

With a round robin system. Was a few years that Galway minors played one Championship game and knocked out after losing. Which is best and fairest format?

When there is a round robin system in place and a back door for losing provincial finalists then yes it does. Galway rested over half their team for the last group game because they were through to the Connacht semi final with home advantage in the bag with a round still to play.
Is football and hurling, getting in the way of GAA business in Croke Park?
The minor competition has always been unfair, Ulster teams only had 1 life for a long time too. It should be the same in every province, its all part of the same competition.
Up to Ulster to stop being silly and do the same as the rest of us.
From what I read, the Connacht Council get a lot wrong. But the format for the Connacht U17 championship is very good in that it gives the young lads a guaranteed 4 games. Thankfully long gone are the days when you could be training for 6 months for one game and then that could be the end of your intercounty experience.
Up to each province to come up with a system that delivers two teams to the AllIreland quarter finals. 3 losses sounds unusual if you have no knowledge of the system, but there was little doubt that Galway were the second best team in Connacht during the Connacht championship.
Galway like Mayowestros haven't lost any games in the All Ireland Championship.
All Counties get 5 games in Connacht - 4 round Robin, top team gets to Final, 2nd play 3rd in a semi final while 4th and 5th play a Shield final.
In my opinion the u20 should be the same.

Any system where Galway get knocked out early is a great system
My only complaint about the current Minor championship system in Connacht is that it's not also in place for the more important developmental grade of U20.
These lads need matches to grow as players.
The more matches the better for U17 it is a development grade. Debatable if U20 needs to be the same. At that age its adult football and players are already busy with a number of teams be it college, club. It's a good age for Championship knock out games to be introduced the real do or die matches and it gives a fair idea as to who will make the step up to senior level which i might add is a bigger step up than U21 use to be.
The U20 grade probably needs better organised league competition and all of the championship played in the summer.
Less than 3 hours away from the U17 All-Ireland final. A 3rd win in one year for Mayo against Galway or 3rd time lucky for Galway?

I wonder will "the best fans in Ireland" resort to booing teenage free takers, yet again. Let's hope some have seen sense in the past year
0-2 each after 10 minutes.
Deserved half time lead for Galway. Good half of football 0-8 to 0-6.

Strong enough breeze it seems.
Mayo very poor so far. Another All Ireland defeat beckons. :-X
15 minutes to play it's a deserved 4 point lead for Galway. Nearly 13,000 the attendance not sure does that count the U16s that got in for free.
0-14 to 0-8 Galway lead. 6 minutes of normal time left.
Few questionable reffing decisions. They don't explain the poorness of the Mayo display however. Congrats to Galway.
That No 2 Farthing has had some game.
No 2 had a super game, old school defending.
FT Galway 0-15 Mayo 0-9. Congrats to the young tribesmen without doubt the best team on the night.
Mayo unbeaten up to tonight for whatever reason wasn't able to perform to the standard that won them Connacht and reach this AI final.

He's a huge talent.
Great Connacht occasion, 2 Connacht teams, the Hyde looking great, great first half of Connacht football.
Galway the better team from start to finish and well deserved their wwin.Excellent crowd - official 12,789.
As said above I don't know if they included u16s....how could they?
They had the higher intensity throughout and took their opportunities..
Great to see a team avenge when it matters
Yep.best team won. Doing it when it matters.
Great win. Definitely the physicality and willingness to put the bodies on the line was there tonight - which wasn't the case certainly in the first meeting between the teams in Tuam.
The difference Farthing has made to them shouldn't be understated either.
He didn't play in that first game but has been man of the match for me anyway in each of the last 3 games. Crucially they got Eanna Monaghan into the game tonight as well.
Mayo were flat tonight. Never really got going.

Do u16's not need a ticket too?
I saw lots of them just walking in without being scanned.
