Minors 2016

[Zulu]

Both teams seem to able to get bodies back alright but I don't think either side are playing with massed defences are they? It's an odd game, you can clearly see there are plenty of very good players out there and there's some very good passages of play and we know both sides have classy forwards but it's a nothing game from a spectators point of view. Very few decent scoring chances being created and both goals were a little fortunate and not the result of great attacking play.

Hope it opens up a bit in the second half as there's two well matched quality teams out there.

[Cunny Funt]

Blanket minor defence final in that 1st half between two counties with a tradition of playing positive football.

Both sides seem a bit fearful of the forwards on the other team. Not leading to a great spectacle.

Kerry handling very poor

[Wildweasel74]

Poor game given the palyers on view from both sides, weather obviously playing a part but that's the worse i seen of both teams this year.

That lad is some player, exceptional goal

One of the few moments of pure class in this game and has more or less ended Galway chance of a comeback.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Galway had a chance to put just one point between the sides. Lost the ball under no pressure. Straight down the other end and Clifford goals. Probably wraps it up.

[Wildweasel74]

Galway have a better team than i thought and probably maybe better on the day, but goals wins games. interesting how both counties manage to produce good forwards

[Wildweasel74]

Is this the first ever 3 in a row minor team since the 40`s? Know Laois made it to 3 finals in a row back late 90`s winning 2

[GalwayBayBoy]

Frustrating game from a Galway perspective. Didn't seem to be much difference in quality between the sides overall but Kerry got the goals. Clifford got a goal and an assist for another goal but was actually well marshalled by Mulkerrin for the most part. Himself and Shaw did the damage.

Galway needed Evan Murphy to perform to win the game and he had a few early wides that seemed to dent his confidence. Never got going after that.

7 point win a bit flattering to Kerry. Not helped by a ridiculous red card for the Galway midfielder towards the end.

[Captain Obvious]

Goals do indeed wins games the margin of defeat unfair on Galway.  I think Cork won three in a row last in the 60s

[Nigel White]

Dara Moynihan pulled away from the team celebrations to do a stupid interview with TG4 before getting his MoM award. These TV cnuts want to be told to stick their mics up their jacksie. Sending off a disgraceful pointless exercise. Refs need to get some cop on

[galwayman]

It was a tight game.Certainly not a 7 point game.
Sending off a joke but didn't affect the result.
Big difference was we never really looked like scoring a goal apart from when the Kerry keeper fell asleep and was blessed to clear off the line in the first half.
Well done Kerry. 3 in a row is a fair achievement

[Rudi]

3rd goal for Kerry was superb, given the conditions one of the very best.
