Manning Cup

Regarding entering two teams into these tournaments, Meath enter two teams into the Gerry Reilly however they aren't 'A' & 'B'.
This means your odds of winning it drop significantly but you get to look at a lot of players.

It this is round 3 how did we do in the first one? I see on sligogaa that we beat Langford by 3 points in round 2

How many teams are in the Fr Manning Cup this year?, Kildare and Laois must be fairly new to it,

Kildare have been in it a few years anyway - Ros played them at least twice before last night.

Meath have been doing this for a few years, It's good to look at the players but no good for the players getting hammered either like Meath have been. When those players are Minor they would lack confidence against teams like Dublin. Dublin enter 1 team.

The last two years Sligo White have been markedly a B side in the Tedd Webb, shipping some hammerings.

3rd year Kildare and Laois have played in this competition I think.

Two groups of four.

Kildare
Offaly
Leitrim
Roscommon

Westmeath
Sligo
Longford
Laois

Westmeath topped their group won all three games. Offaly v Leitrim next week a win for Offaly then Kildare would top the group on head to head having beat Offaly. if Leitrim win they would top group.

Westmeath have a good enough record in the Gerry Reilly as well.
You'd wonder why their minors are never up to much.

Tommy Carr was involved. Don't forget that

Made a right balls of that team. They won the Fr. Manning & Gerry Reilly cups before he got his hands on them.

He had his 3 years, a golden 3 years as well. Would love to see him back in charge. Someone needs to set-up a petition.

The opening paragraph in his wiki made me laugh.

If you go to Coppers you will get to see lots of players, if that floats your boat.

To follow up on this, Sligo Black (who if like previous years are the A Sligo U16 team) lost by three points, 0-03 to to 1-03, to Mayo NS in the Ted Webb Cup tonight. Games are played in 40 minute blitz format so that explains the lower scoring somewhat.

Mayo NS would be one of the two geographically split U16 Mayo teams and not a B team. Take from that what you will.
