All Ireland U21 Championship 2012

Nice to be raising this topic 
Saturday week we'll have :
Ros v Cavan/Tyrone
Dublin v Cork/Kerry.
A Ros/Cavan game would be a cert for Pearse Park while if it's Tyrone no doubt they will try and drag us to Breffni. Hopefully we'll fight for a neutral Leinster Venue.
Dublin v Cork will be Portlaoise while a Dub/Kerry tie likely to go to Limerick as Kerry never seem to be made travel outside their own Province for  non Senior All Irl games.

Be it minor,club or senior level we have a poor recent record in Pearse park i would prefer somewhere like Tullamore. The last four will have a stronger look than it had the last time we reached it (two years ago)

Ah cmon, it'd be stupid to have a Ros-Cav/Ty game anywhere in Leonster but Pearse Park. A few losses a different grades doesn't create a 'record', it's totally different opposition and Pearse Park is no different than any other county ground besides being one of the best designed  county grounds in the country

Results
Cavan 1-10 Tyrone 0-10
Cork 2-12 Kerry 1-14

So it's Ros v Cavan and Dublin v Cork.

The new big 4 ?

Kerry improved from last years heavy defeat to Cork, sounded like good game tonight. Looking forward to our meeting with Cavan we had some good battles in the hasting cup &  the rossies are due a win over Cavan.

Should be a fantastic occasion in Pearse Park. The winners will be underdogs in the final but I can see either upsetting the odds in the final. Some very good games to round off this year's u21 championship.

Has the venues been chosen for the semi finals?

Only place the Ros/Cavan game can be is Pearse Park. The only thing that'd change that would be if the GAA decided on a double header in somewhere like Tullamore.

Loads of places available in Ulster to play it.

Nice try. 

Love the pace of the u21 tournament, it's only a week and a half to the the semi and only three weeks since we beat Mayo in the Connacht semi.

How about playing Roscommon v Cavan in Paric Sean Mac Diarmada,Carrick-On-Shannon half way point for both & a good compact pitch to play your football on.

Half way point from where? Longford is actually between the two counties. Carrick is nearby for me so I'm not bothered, but Longford suits alot more.

Where does sense come into these things?

We played Galway there in the semi final in 1988!

So is Leitrim here's a nice colourful map to illustrate.

The tips of both counties intersect Leitrim, the bulk of the hearts of both counties are almost parallel with Longford. Carrick is also, err, in Roscommon. Don't tell the Cavan folk, with everyone using sat navs they'll never realise it until it's too late.

I feel like I'm back in geography class. And Galway was half way to the moon that year anyway, so that map is not factually correct.
