Il put my colours to the mast here. I'm currently involved with the Minor set up and what I have to say is, they are as honest a bunch as iv come across, genuine in training and looking to achieve and get better. So for all those outside of the setup. Downtheroad Try bring some positivity and rationale to your statements with respect to this. How do you know that they cant be the best minor team we have ever had!!!!

who told you that downtheroad it was Dublin u17team..were you at the game!!

Obviously none of ye saw the performance which Dwayne Palmer put in for IT Carlow on John McGrath from Tipp. Have Offaly a forward of that quality inside. I doubt it very much

great post though Keyser!! well approached. positive oulooks

its a hard one to say Redsetanta...exposing them to the intensity of A type hurling is great, but taking a bad defeat like that proves nor helps no one in the long term. But physicality needs to be addressed sooner rather than later. Players need to be educated into the reality of functional movement, but planned by coaches with the proper educational background into this development process

After been present at the game today, the big difference that was evident aside from the scoreboard was the sheer physical size difference of both squads. It is very clear that Dublin's development over the last few years has included both skill development, but also functional/physical development. It is an area that has to be addressed asap within the county. From the game and team that lined out, approx. 5/6 will start as there was anyting from 12/13 possible starters missing due to been involved with other schools.

All IT Carlow lads playing with the college this year, picky,enda,cha and dwayne...Wexford in the first round they have sat 2nd jan

man from my own club having been involved with IT Carlow under the guidance of Mick Dempsey and DJ involved doing the strength and conditioning with minors. one thing for certain is he will have them in a good fitness place come first round
