Has there been a venue decided for the final?

Dr Hyde Park?


Down for the same day as the Galway Derry game, surely a bit of common sense and put it back a week.
It's on the Friday evening in Hyde Park.

Hyde is the obvious place seeing as a Croke Park triple header isn't in the running.
Still "TBC" per gaa.ie

Is that confirmed. A first to play All Ireland final on a Friday evening.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

10 or 11 days away and still no day, time and venue for this All-Ireland final. Shows the lack of respect HQ have for this competition. Of course they are determined to get rid the U17 AI series and bring in provincial only tournaments and scrap U20 they only brought in 4 years ago for the U19 grade.

Finally confirmed. Friday July 8th in Dr Hyde Park.

How the hell can you lose 3 matches in championship but still make an All Ireland final? Makes no sense

With a round robin system. Was a few years that Galway minors played one Championship game and knocked out after losing. Which is best and fairest format?

When there is a round robin system in place and a back door for losing provincial finalists then yes it does. Galway rested over half their team for the last group game because they were through to the Connacht semi final with home advantage in the bag with a round still to play.

Is football and hurling, getting in the way of GAA business in Croke Park?

The minor competition has always been unfair, Ulster teams only had 1 life for a long time too. It should be the same in every province, its all part of the same competition.

Up to Ulster to stop being silly and do the same as the rest of us.

From what I read, the Connacht Council get a lot wrong. But the format for the Connacht  U17 championship is very good in that it gives the young lads a guaranteed 4 games. Thankfully long gone are the days when you could be training for 6 months for one game and then that could be the end of your intercounty experience.

Up to each province to come up with a system that delivers two teams to the AllIreland quarter finals. 3 losses sounds unusual if you have no knowledge of the system, but there was little doubt that Galway were the second best team in Connacht during the Connacht championship.

Rossfan

Galway like Mayowestros haven't lost any games in the All Ireland Championship.
All Counties get 5 games in Connacht - 4 round Robin, top team gets to Final, 2nd play 3rd in a semi final while 4th and 5th play a Shield final.
In my opinion the u20 should be the same.

Any system where Galway get knocked out early is a great system

My only complaint about the current Minor championship system in Connacht is that it's not also in place for the more important developmental grade of U20.
These lads need matches to grow as players.

Cunny Funt

The more matches the better for U17 it is a development grade. Debatable if U20 needs to be the same. At that age its adult football and players are already busy with a number of teams be it college, club. It's a good age for Championship knock out games to be introduced the real do or die matches and it gives a fair idea as to who will make the step up to senior level which i might add is a bigger step up than U21 use to be.

The U20 grade probably needs better organised league competition and all of the championship played in the summer.
