Ulster U20 and Minor Championships 2024

[Blowitupref]

Half time Down 0-4 Derry 0-6.

[Blowitupref]

45 minutes played Down 0-8 Derry 0-9.  Down had a few goal chances, via a poor kick out and no keeper in goal.

[JoG2]

Handy free there for Derry. Ref fell for the old hold onto the arm and fall tactic.

Being repaid in full this half

[Blowitupref]

Goal for Down. They lead 1-9 to 0-9 51 mins on the clock.

Down man slipped and took the Derry man in a scoreable position out. No free. How does that work?

[imtommygunn]

How was that not a free to Derry too? McCullagh obviously dragged back.

Ref certainly seems to be sore on Derry. The overturned sideline ball was v strange as well.

[screenexile]

Game over I can't see how we get a goal... referee not great but Down's senior man made the difference!

[Blowitupref]

A second goal for Down. 2-10 to 0-9. 

[imtommygunn]

They can't mark Murdock I think. Down better but ref hasn't been kind to Derry. Really think Derry should have been playing Murray and mcevoy.

[oakleaflad]

Big Murdock a great player. Savage a handful too. Down deserved it even if I thought the ref was harsh on Derry.

[Blowitupref]

Congrats to Down a 2nd Ulster U20 title in 3 years.  Full time Down 2-11 Derry 0-9.  As for Derry fell away badly after 40 minutes when they led 0-9 to 0-6.


Very honest interview by Conor Laverty. on the 4 Down senior players on tonight's U20 team. "We asked the players which match they wanted to play and took on board their opinions" He feels the GAA have got it wrong and these players should be allowed to play both grades.

Questions have to be asked about how that Down team were handled at minor level. They are a serious outfit.

From the 2020 minor semifinals only Kerry have made it back. Down, Sligo and Kildare have replaced Derry, Roscommon and Meath.

Yes absolutely and the same with the Derry manager. Interesting what he said as regards the Derry u20 hurlers and the contradictions that seem to be there in the rules. You always want to see the 2 best teams fight it out with their best players on display. Dissapointing for Derry.
