Minors 2016

[twohands!!!]

Depressing enough - started well but as soon Kerry took control of midfield our inside line were starved and what little ball we had delivery was poor and too many mistakes. Plan A of our kick out strategy was go long Plan B was see Plan A. Midfield was always a worry but Kerry's middle 8 just dominated us. These two semi defeats in a row just feeds into our fragile pysch and the cycle continues.

It's always disappointing to lose at this stage but you'll get a few nice prospects from this team.

I wouldn't be surprised if Kildare did better than Donegal in terms of getting lads for senior out of the 2 losing semi-finalists.

There's no end to it.

Think they only beat Clare by 6 or 7 points. Something like that anyway. Cork they beat by 6 as well I think.

Kerry just moved up the gears to steamroll past Kildare. Galway have a massive task on their hands to topple that Kerry side but hopefully it is at least competitive.

How's Clifford playing?
I only really saw him in action back in the Hogan final but he looked to have all the tools.

Very assured on the ball, looks excellent.

Met a lad from Kerry last week who told me next year's Kerry minor team will be even better than this year's. Clifford of course is still minor again next year.

2-26  has that type of scoring ever happen in a minor semi final before? So Kerry minors on the verge of winning three minor All Irelands in a row. Jack O Connor should have some pick for the Kerry U21s next year.

Is he?
Does it not go to u-17 next year?

[mackers]

It goes to u17 the year after next.

Yerra, minors are minors. Nothing to get excited about.

Yerra, minors are minors.

Next year they are. After that some minors aren't minors at all

I know. What I meant was underage stuff can be great to watch but even on the better teams few enough players make the cut at senior.

For a 3rd year in a row Kerry are dominating the U18 grade be it county or schools level. They should get more than a few to make the cut at senior level in the years ahead.
