Expected more from Sligo in u20 tbh.
Mayo 1-25 Sligo 1-4.
Galway 0-17 Ros 1-7.
Galway weren't great. If we put in a similar performance in the final there will be only one winner.

Would expect more out of Sligo indeed, they had a decent minor team two years ago but maybe they were up against a well managed Mayo outfit that are flying fit.

I didn't expect Roscommon missing so many players to be still in that contest with a few minutes to play. Probably no harm for Galway to get a decent test before the final as its best not to base your form totally on what happened in the league. A very hard Connacht final to call and the winner will likely be there or thereabouts for the All Ireland.

Changes in this grade certainly need to be made again. The scheduling and timing of it is poor and any competition is weaker if some of its best players aren't playing in it.

Can't be played in February due to Sigerson,
Can't be played in the old u21 slot due to April Club only
Can't be played in May 3rd level exams
Played in June and it seems most good 19 year olds are doing repeat Leaving. Also it clashes with Senior so gets little publicity.
Can't be played in August as Club Championships will be in full fling.

I expect the u19 thing will come back on the agenda of the Review Committee.
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

There is no can't things can be arranged and the April club only month has been a waste of time.

Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

9-7 @ ht to mayo

EDit: thought he had blown for HT but he hadn't, Mayo concede 2 very soft frees in front of their own goals and it's level at HT

Half time Galway 0-9 Mayo 0-9. Strong finish to half by Mayo but gave away two silly frees late on to allow Galway to level it up.

Mayo taking all short kick outs. Galway just booting them all long. Causing bother for both sides for different reasons. Galway not on top in midfield like they were in the first game between the two.

Tomo Culhane is pure class if Galway can get enough ball into him. Worry is he'll try to do it all by himself if he's starved of enough ball.

Galway number 8 is a serious fielder of the ball.

Very entertaining game

Sides level and Galway hit the post in injury time.

Galway kick the ball away from a sideline ball.

Then Mayo kick a 45 just about over the bar to lead by 1.

Culhane kicks an equaliser from out on the wing.

All happened in injury time lol.

Some game and two unbelievable scores from each team in the last few minutes to see us through to ET.
