All Ireland U21 football championship 2017

[From the Bunker]

The thing is that at under 21, Senior intercounty and Senior Club. Dublin are dominating! They have their House(s) in order. Heavily funded and have the population. As long as they continue with the current template this domination will continue.

Just watched Kerry on TG4. They look AWESOME!!!

Giving Dublin credit for winning this Leinster title is like giving Galway credit for winning a Connacht hurling title. The way the draw worked out, if Dublin had been replaced in Leinster by Galway, Kerry, Cavan, Donegal, Tyrone, (etc.) that team would have won Leinster just as easily.

Likely to be very tight games in most of the remaining matches, but Kerry seem to have the best panel of players.

It's going to be a very difficult task for ourselves or Sligo to topple that Kerry side.

I recall similar said about the Cork U21 team in 2011 before Galway beat them. Connacht has been very strong at U21 the last few years I think only one defeat for the Connacht champions in Al semi final from 2011 to 2016.

There are no 'sure things' when it comes to underage football.

4 in a row for Dublin, the future is bright for Leinster football.

In 2008 Dublin had won only 7 Leinsters U21 titles. 2009 to 2017 they have won another 7...

To be fair that stat is a little misleading as Dublin didn't compete in the grade for a good number of years in the eighties and early nineties .  Someone might confirm the years ??

Really? I don't remember that if it was the case. They were thrown out in '97 and banned (then let back in) in '98

Kerry were very good but Cork were appalling. How many Kerry players got the black card? There was no way they were letting Cork in for a goal in the 2nd half.

[Jinxy]

It's actually nuts that that before last night, 2008 was the last time Kerry won a munster u-21.
How could Cork be that dominant and not see any real progression at senior level?

Tipp won two, in 2010 and 2015 as well. Mad that Tipp have as many as Kerry since 2008.

Kerry footballers wouldn't do that would they?

No way Kerry footballers would get involved in that kind of disgraceful carry on.

He must have meant Tyrone or Donegal.

Kerry footballers would never do that, they focus on the skills and pleasing aspects of the game.
