Ros up a 1pt, we had goal disallowed and hit post to go 9 up, hit loads of wides, need to be more accurate second half but if we had carrabine, o Connor and gaughan we would of destroyed this roscommon team , Red og with 2-1 for us

Sligo are utterly pathetic. The problem is so are we on the evidence of that half. One of the worst halves of football I've seen in a long time. They're all young lads but either team is going to get well beaten next weekend, the amount of wides and basic errors in perfect conditions is something to behold.

Also, we're missing at least three of our best players from this group too so whatever about your loses, we have just as many.
Reality is both teams are missing numerous players because of unavailability, injury and Leaving Cert. Sligo missing 4 due to senior and 3 other starters due to Leaving Cert. Im sure Ross are similarly affected. Stronger counties will have better replacements. A once good competition has been destroyed by GAA officialdom.
Absolutely and a real shame this has been allowed to happen.

We won but should have been dead and buried after 20 minutes. Much improved all round 2nd half but how much of that was down to Sligo being demoralised after there awful wides in the first.
Anyway off to Tuam next week where we'll be lucky to keep the ball kicked out to Galway.
Only thing we have going for us is a Championship game under the belt.

U20 semi finals on Saturday next
Rhubarbs v Laythrum 1.30 in Castlebar
Herrins v Ros 4pm in Tuam.
I presume the staggered times is to allow JP and McGovern to attend both?
Hard to see anything other than victories for Galway and Mayowestros.

Mayo seniors playing in Limerick might have something to do with the timings.

Is there a need to host the game there? surely a smaller ground in Mayo would take whatever crowd turns up and maybe play it closer to Leitrim.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Rossfan

I suppose if lads make a County team they deserve a game in the main stadium.

Now that's not going to help with paying off the loan is it? Same sh*te with games at the latter end of the county championship, a few thousand rattling around in there and no atmosphere   >:(

I see one of Galway's best minors of recent years if not the best, Evan Murphy, is not on the U-20 panel this year. Heard a rumour he had left it alright. Anyone know the story there?

I never understood the craic with obsessing over a game being played in the main county ground. The senior county finals we've staged in Kiltoom had so much more atmosphere than the ones at the Hyde, and with the CB wanting to make the new pitch seem worthwhile even junior and immediate finals will end up being played in the Hyde, which is honestly madness.
