Could u20 only have a 2 year existence?

Should have went down this road when originally changing the grades. Minor grade has lost a lot of its appeal as it involves kids too early on in their development. 15 and 16 year olds five or six years away from adult football. Then the jump from this grade to U20 is unnecessarily challenging. Only exceptionally developed kids are ready for U20 football straight out of the U17 grade. Sticking this barrier in at the exact age range where drop out rates are already highest does not seem very wise.
Doc would listen to any kind of nonsense and change it for you to a kind of wisdom.

The underlying point of moving minor to u17 was to clearly differentiate between adult and juvenile players, and therefore alleviate the burnout of talented youngsters. It also had a nice knock on effect of reducing football commitments during final exams period.

So for the life of me I cannot understand how anyone could support the creation of an under-19 tournament, which simply would add all this crap back in again, and and for two full years for the more talented players.

Madness.

I'd loved the U21 championship the best and most competitive championship we had and I would never miss a game when on TV.
Only for Ed Ricketts post I would have forgotten completely about this All Ireland final and I'm sure not the only one that nearly forgot about this game. Thanks to Páraic Duffy we have this devalued replacement tournament that holds little interest to the general public and already there is talk about a change to U19 championship now  ::)

Really entertaining game. 2 quick goals settled Cork and both teams playing attacking football. Cork FF line is lethal and there are more goals coming in the 2nd half. Cork with a strong breeze in their favour as well

Great match; show's what a brilliant game GAA football can be without the unimaginative defensive tactics

Great game in the terms of attacking play but can you imagine the current Dublin senior team defending as loosely as that U20 team?
