Ulster U21 Championship 2013

[Westside]

Carlow might not be a great yardstick.. But Longford will be.

Monaghan gave Tyrone a quare walloping in the Shamrock final tonight.

[tyroneman]

A real hammering alright. Tyrone with a very strong line out too.

[Wee Roddy]

I had my suspicions about this conveyor belt of talent that everyone talks about. As a close follower of club football, very few of these lads stand out in the club championship series. A minor All Ireland is very over rated in my opinion and can often lead to players getting the old "im think im better than I am". When the U21 championship is played at this time of the year it is very difficult to guauge with the biggest and most physical teams often winning. Having said that with so many players involved with the seniors it may be difficult for them to come down to a level mentally to play an U21 challenge match.

Longford beat Dublin last night so Leinster could be a lot more competitive than you might think!

[Walter Cronc]

Was that a league final played last night?? With Tyrones obvious talent I suppose you could argue that they have under achieved of late. Still would make them favourites however. How is Ronan O'Neill's rehab going?? He is a very exciting prospect. Hopefully the lad can make it back!!

[Corkey22]

Not too sure but i think it was the qf of the championship I think.. If so, a major shock! Longford where 16/1 before the game

[mylestheslasher]

It was Leinster championship so Dublin are out!

[Walter Cronc]

I'm referring to the Tyrone/Monaghan game lads. Was it an Ulster league final?

[Corkey22]

Yea Shamrock Cup is the league!

[rodney trotter]

Its more of a tournament than a league, not all Ulster teams play in it. Cavan never played in the Shamrock Cup before.

[Fuzzman]

So when does the championship start then?
It is the name of the thread and we're on page 3 but still no mention of any fixture dates.
