Unlikely we'd have bet that Tyrone team anyway but a 2 week break would have been a great help.

The under 20 like the u21 before it throws up some fantastic games and should be promoted and used as an example and template of what gaelic football could be.

As for the match itself we were well beaten by a superb team.
Size, pace, S&C all miles ahead of us.
We had a great rally after half time but messed up a few chances to equalise or get ahead.
Outscored 1-8 to 0-2 after.
Shocking small attendance 1,521 (80% at least Ros) for an All Ireland semi final, no sense of occasion about the whole thing, no promotion of any kind leading up to it etc.
Would having 2 week breaks between Provincial Finals, AI semis and Final cause the sky to fall?
Could still be done and dusted by end of May.

It's a pity as Tyrone just got him back from injury.

U20 is development, grade the more matches the better for players. And will be B and C grade competitions in the All Ireland series at U17/minor this year.

Grand, then play the squad players in the B competition.

Quick turnaround can't have helped, Tyrone not as naive in the full backline as Galway were the week before. Couple of real standouts on that Tyrone team, after watching both semi finals I'd expect them too beat Kerry. 

What age is McGinley?

The whole tiered championship adds an unnecessary amount of extra more or less meaningless games into an already bloated calendar.

Only in the GAA do you get people looking for less games for players.

October I believe U20s panels commence training and for all the training in the world the players themselves wants more games.
