8 teams left.
Mayo v Offaly
Longford v Galway
Tyrone v Kerry
Cork v Armagh.
When are these games going ahead?
I hear the Connacht Leinster games both in the Hyde Saturday .
Offaly versus Mayo is this Saturday at 12.30 I think in the Hyde.
Tyrone v Kerry Sat 12pm Croke Park
Armagh v Cork Sun 12pm Croke Park
Next question... Who'll win them! :D
The tyrone lads racked up a big score against Armagh, saw the Armagh boys in the first round against Derry and apart from the last 5 were very impressive.
I'd expect Tyrone to come through their match. They were very impressive in the Ulster final.
I'll head to see Armagh more in hope, though. They've been poor in their last two games. Maybe if they can rediscover some of their earlier form they'll do something, but a couple of key players will have to find their form and Carragher will have to be fit and flying.
hopefully kerry minors havent improved any from last year. thought they were very poor.

Arguable the worst team we played all year actually. Think Kerry have an excellent quarter final record though.

Any word on Peter Carragher? Has he recovered from his injury yet? Would at least like Armagh minors to give a good account of themselves after the Ulster final embarrassment.

Not much expected from the minors on saturday. They are without their best defender and best forward.
We should have won the Munster final but in truth it was a terrible game in windy conditions.
Kerry are a small but skillful side which could perform well in Croke Park but in all honesty we will be travelling in hope rather than expectation.
Like the seniors, the minors have never lost a QF included in this was a QF win over an unbeatable Tyrone side in '07.
Very unpredictable age group, esp if you look at Longford losing to Offaly by 22 points, then going on to beat them in Leinster final by 6! Great win that day, will have their work cut out to beat Galway but fingers crossed they can progress to the semis and another big day in Croker
Anybody aware of who meets who in the SF?
Does it follow the senior draw as in ulster winners game (Tyrone v Kerry) play Connacht winners game (Mayo v Offaly) in the semi?
Edit: Have just noticed the draw on the ulster minor thread
SF's: (Tyrone v Kerry) v (Mayo v Offaly) and (Armagh v Cork) v (Galway v Longford)
Hmmm. Last September I predicted that Mayo would lose 3 AI minor finals in a row. It looks like a Tyrone-Cork final going on all known form.
I believe Tyrone are so strong that they have it in the bag already. Which is a pity for the poor Mayo/Offaly ladeens as they will have to play them in the semi.

Jaysis, you could wait to see if we beat Kerry before you start the cute hooring. I wouldn't put this years side in the same bracket as the lads of 2008.
The Kerry Minor team to play Tyrone on Saturday next at 12.00pm in Croke Park is as follows:
1. Damien Horgan St.Marys Caherciveen
2. Fearghal McNamara Austin Stacks 3. David Culhane Ballylongford 4. Andrew Thompson Kerins O'Rahillys
5. Chris O'Leary Kilcummin 6. Laurance Bastible John Mitchels 7.Jason Hickson Annascaul
8. James Walsh (Capt) Knocknagoshel 9. Shaun Keane Legion
10. Gary O'Leary Kilcummin 11. Marcus Mangan Milltown/Castlemaine 12. Tadhg Morley Templenoe
13. John Moynihan Rathmore 14 Mark Reen Rathmore 15. Eanna O'Connor St Michaels Foilmore
The substitutes are: 16 Padraic McCarthy Rathmore 17. Damien Somers St Senans
18. Thomas Hickey Desmonds 19. Gavan O'Grady Glenbeigh/Glencar 20. Eamonn Kiely Brosna 21. Sean McCarthy Legion 22. Barry Dwyer Waterville 23. Conor Cox Listowel Emmets 24. Padraig Boyle Ballyduff

Congrats to both connacht teams fair to say both will have to improve for semis
I'm absolutely raging I didn't go today. Was busy with stuff at home and there wsa work to be done on the farm and all. Must have been a mighty game to be at. Sounded great anyway. Well done to the lads. Tyrone hammered Kerry though. Ah sure we'll fill seats anyway the next day.
We'll be massive underdogs the next day after the Tyrone scoreline today.
Its annoying that Tyrone have a game in Croke Park under their belts already, gives them another advantage. Will take an almighty effort from us to get to another final.

Agreed do Galway play the winner's of Cork/Armagh i wonder what's the odds on all Connacht final
Don't know much about the Cork team for tomorrow's game other than they are Munster Champions. Should it be an easy win for Cork tomorrow?

I'd have high hopes that him and Kirby could go a long way with Mayo. First up we need to get them into the 21s next year alongside Keane, O'Shea and the other 08 minors. Theres a great spine of a team there for the future with Hennelly/Keane/Nally/Kirby/O'Shea/O'Connor on each line of the pitch.

It's true without over-hyping any lad if we can harness a few of these boys and get the right management in place we really could have a serious team in a few years.
That was phenomenal from Tyrone today. Seniors v Minors.

Granted it was wind assisted.
Looks like it was Mayo's full forward line that did the damage, scoring 1-12 of their 1-14 total.
While Offaly might have redeemed themselves somewhat today, they'll still be kicking themselves over that Leinster final they lost.
Well done to the Tyrone minors today.
Great performance.

Sounds like a geat performance. Hopefully they can keep things going - would be a superb achievement if they made it to the semi finals. Hate missing the match though I must confess to not having been at any of the Minor matches this year for one reason or another.
Looking good so far for Armagh. Should be ahead by more, miles the better team. Carragher's return has made a big difference, as has the better balance in the forward line. Though, they still look dodgy at the back at times so it would be foolish to rule out a couple of sucker punch goals.

Disaster. Hard luck lads. How often do football teams score 19 points in 60 minutes and lose?
f**k sake, had luck to the armagh boys
Sick here. Almost want to just head straight back up the road. The way it ended was unbelievably cruel. Five minutes left we were flat and it looked like we were gone, but then they sparked into life again and knocked over three great points in as many minutes to look like they had it wrapped up. Last attack and Cork run straight down the middle, looked like we had given away a penalty but the ref played on and in the scramble the ball just broke lovely for a Cork lad to side foot in. No luck at all. Peter Carragher understandably fading in the second half was a big factor, but high hopes for him in the next few years, he has everything. Very proud of the lads though, the turn around from the last day was amazing. Can't help but feel that they have missed a great chance to have made a final, where we would've been much better equipped to probably have had another crack at Tyrone.

Are Mayo's odds the worst simply because they play Tyrone next?
Yes although we beat Galway, they seem to have an easier path to a final. Tyrone seem to be the standout team this year.
Not long home from Croker, long day out! Totally gutted by the result in our match, as stated earlier Armagh were the better team, but the old saying is true, goals win matches & unfortunately we shipped 3 today, the last one being the killer, obviously. I have to say I was very proud of how the boys played & their commitment throughout the entire game after they were so comprehensively beaten in the Ulster Final. Luck was not on our side today otherwise we'd be facing the prospect of an All Ireland Semi Final :'(
Many thanks to the management & the panel for a lot of happy days out this year.

Realistically I doubt it. Saying that I wouldn't entirely rule out an upset v Tyrone in semi. It s a team capable of a scoring surge without necessarily ever looking in control of a game. We re not as good as 08. Not as resilient and a few lads while talented are prone to the odd howler. A couple lads have to play in positions they not entirely have a good command of. Maybe over dependant on O Connor as well. Still top 4 three years in a row good going.
Tyrone look very impressive so far, but does anyone know what has happened Liam Gervin, he has yet to feature for them (apart from 5 min spell against Down) and is probably the most talented player in the squad.
I take it he is injured? Would be some addition to the squad for semi final/ final. a bit like McNabb in 2008 when he came back for the final.
heard that he was injured for 1st game and Ryan Devlin took his place - and RD hasnt looked back since.
Think he got injured during the league, came back for 5mins in the Down game, then broke down in training before the Ulster final. Good player, extremely unfortunate with injuries this year
So Mayo Minor's are the same odds as Down for the Senior All Ireland... interesting
after watching Galway/Mayo make the semi final's in Minor i wonder how our lads would have fared if the backdoor was like the senior championship?
Has anyone got confirmation that the minor semi finals are being switched round so cork minors play the same day as their seniors?
At the moment it's down for
August 22nd 1.30pm Mayo v Tyrone
August 29th 1.30pm Galway v Cork
Would make more sense to switch the matches, but how many Cork fan's are expected to Travel? will be mostly dubs at the 1st senior semi
other Semi Down v Kildare will do well to get 60k
Yeah Liam's had serious bother with a hamstring injury all year. Was supposed to be back for the Ulster final but pulled it again in training on the Monday night before the Ulster final. Kiefer Morgan, might even be a more natural forward than Liam and he's missed the entire year as well through injury. Should give Ray Munroe a nice problem if he can get both players back.

Day out with the Dubs so!
Highlights here of all the minor QF's:
http://live.tg4.ie/main.aspx?level=sport
Heading to the match on Sunday and was thinking of heading in early for the Mayo v Tyrone game. I've been told the winner of this one will be favourite for the All ireland with Tyrone hot favourites to win it so probably worth a look.
Saw clips of yer man O'Connor for Mayo against Offaly and he looked a class act, the sort of straightforward scoring forward with a bit of size the seniors haven't had for a while.
How many of the Mayo lads played in the last two minor finals or even just last years?
Saw the highlights of the Tyrone game too and no one really stood out although they did seem to have a corner forward with the same kicking style as Mulligan who looked handy enough.
Who are the lads on either team I should look out for as always helps enjoyment of a game if you've some sort of back story about the players playing?

Heading along as well - was surprised to see tickets for Sunday on sale on Ticketmaster. Would have thought a semi with the Dubs would be easily sold out by now.
Tyrone are overwhelming favourites for the minor match. Hard to argue with that - they've hammered their opposition in the last few games, while Mayo have been doing just enough and haven't played to their potential for a full 70 mins. They have been scoring goals though, which isn't often associated with Mayo teams.
The players from last year's team who are still there this year are Cillian O'Connor, Danny Kirby, Jack McDonnell and Keith Ruttledge.
No point in getting hung up on who is favourites or not, it means nothing at the end of the day. I would love to see Tyrone go the whole way, they have performed well so far considering the fact that a few of their main men have had little or no game time due to injury.
Keith wasn't with them last year, that was his brother, Brian.
As tubberman said, the Mayo team haven't appeared to have played for the whole 70 minutes yet. Hopefully it will be a good day out anyway

Tyrone -3 at 10/11 on Paddy Power - looks like a good thing.
SBB said on Seo Spoirt that the bookies have never seen as much money going on a minor match as this one, with Tyrone's odds being dramatically cut.
SBB took them in his bet too.
RTE seem to think the same, they had Brolly talking about the Tyrone team but didn't bother balancing that with a pundit talking about Mayo.
Marty Muppetry interviewed both managers with the same angle, Tyrone are just brilliant.
Our lads look well up for it anyway, they'll give it their best shot if nothing else.
Soft enough free there but good Mayo play.
0--03 to 0-00
0-3 0-0 Great start for the team RTE didn't consider worthy of an analysis
ref blowing like its ladies football though.

Great goal from Tyrone. Back level.

Some goal in fairness.
Never a yellow, ball was there to be played and he went for it.

Ref not allowing any contact at all. We have got at least one score from a soft free but it is getting annoying.
The game has stopped now with a whistle every few seconds. It is closer to netball that anything we might recognise.
Tyrone getting a good grip or midfield now. We haven't had a decent attack in 10 minutes.
Thats 1-3 without reply for Tyrone.
Another stupid yellow.

Another soft yellow this time against Tyrone.
Durcan doing well when running at them and the FF line look like scoring if we can get the ball in to them.
Worrying number of wides for us and an over-use of dummies and spins and whatnot. Mayo def on top now!
Darren Coen with two great scores. We need O'Connor to come in to it though.
Lovely dummy there - he must have been watching Kevin O'Neill clips on Youtube.
Back level now. And now ahead - great stuff.
Another good score there. Good in a way that its not O'Connor and Kirby standing out, Coen and Forde showing that we have other good young players this year too.
And no sooner have I said that and O'Connor scores.
0-09 1-03
Good first half from Mayo.
Not much in it at midfield but Mayo taking their chances and Tyrone missing a good few.
How did McDonnell ever lose his place - he seems like a real prospect? Great point there.
0-10 to 1-03 at half time.
Time for Mayo to put some one different on Ronan Ó Néill & need to win more 50/50 balls in midfield to win this! if it wasn't for the 10 minute spell where tyrone scored 1-3 without reply Mayo would very ahead now
Mayo playing well. Very direct. Tyrone running into trouble or playing silly ball towards 50/50s.
Tyrone persisting in carrying into two or three Mayo players. Mayo just flying and Tyrone can't match it.

Ronan O'Neill is a serious threat everytime he gets the ball. Reminds me of a young Canavan.
Kirby is getting a fist on everything but Tyrone are picking up more of the breaks. I'm impressed with the ball going in though as we do have forwards who can take scores.
Mayo played some great stuff that half. Tyrone lads getting outmuscled and outplayed, big improvement needed. Shooting from crazy positions aswell.
Brolly assumes that, because he thought it would be a formality, Tyrone clearly have thought the same...

Does brolly know Mayo got to back 2 back minor finals & at minor level connacht has been one of the strongest for 5/6 years now?
Spillane attacked both teams as being 'overcoached'.
These lads are minors ffs. O'Neill has justed turned 16 and is a complete natural along with at least 4 or 5 others from both teams. Why not talk them up instead of bashing them?
C'mon Mayo!
Two good scores from Coen and McDonnell. O'Connor scoring from frees but can't get into it. Great though that the other two full forwards are scoring.
Edit: just wide from O'Connor.
Should have been a goal for Tyrone but a great save.
Great game now.
Class point form O'Connor.
We'll have to win this with goals. C'mon!!!
Crazy game Mayo should be high & dry but Tyrone are still in it
Same as first half.
We have to weather this mid-half storm and finish strongly again.
Goal with 7 steps.
Level.
Tyrone goals are putting a flattering reflection on the scorceboard
shocking amount of steps there! the commentator stopped at 8 and i think he missed a couple. tyrone are playing well though
"Breathnóir" den scoth é Cóman.
Some very naive defending, two men on O'Neill and the corner back rushes out to join them leaving a soft handpass over his head to his man. Should have been another goal.
We need a point or two quickly.

Mayo Will be kicking themselves how they didn't win this, i guess goals do indeed win games! for me Ronan Ó Néill MOTM
Yeoooo
We had our chance.
Tyrone deserved it thanks to forwards who can take goal chances when they really need them.
Our lads should be very proud considering no less authorities than Brolly and Marty Morrisey gave them no hope.
Well done to Tony Duffy and the squad, good luck to Tyrone in the final.
Daragh Donnelly has to start the final thats for sure. Lifted the whole team himself. Tyrone played alot better second half but Mayo seem to sit on their lead abit aswell. As the saying goes 'goals win games"
And the Tyrone conveyor belt continues.

Would have got a mention if they showed the replay? Pat & joe were more worried about telling each other to shut up
Very disappointing that didn't push on but the goals allowed Tyrone back onto the match. Thought was a high quality game, hearing that Spillane giving out again just goes to show up the pr*ck for the 2 faced self publicising yoke that he is. If Kerry were playing he'd have messed his knickers with how great the game was. That's my rant over.
Feel sorry for our minors but want to thank them for their mighty display and am very proud of them.
Great game of football. Tyrone showed a lot of fight and self-belief to pull back from 6 points down. Feel sorry for the Mayo lads though, as they played some fantastic football.
I guess you can never rule out Tyrone, no matter how badly things are going. ;)
QuoteGreat game of football. Tyrone showed a lot of fight and self-belief to pull back from 6 points down. Feel sorry for the Mayo lads though, as they played some fantastic football.
7 points down for most of the first 10 mins of the second half Zig.
Game was won on the sidline. Munroe moving Donnelly(?) to midflied won the game and all credit to both of them. Hopefully Canavan is ok for the final as he makes them tick.

I agree with that. I feel sorry for Mayo, they seem to be permanent Croker chokers
Surprised at how average Mayo made Tyrone look for a lot of that game. Like many others, I was expecting Tyrone to run away with it by something close to double figures. Perfect win in the end for Tyrone, though. Loads to work on in the next few weeks. Should win it out now, Cork aren't that impressive and Galway lost by a good bit to that Mayo team.

These lads are minors ffs. O'Neill has justed turned 16 and is a complete natural along with at least 4 or 5 others from both teams
Ronan o'Neill?? Could have sworn he was older??
Well done Tyrone, really pulled that one from the fire. Thought it was a goner when Mayo tagged on a few points with 10-15 mins to go. Great couple of goals to win it. Ronan O'Neill is some prospect, hard to believe he is still only 16! Worst of luck to Mayo, put up a deadly fight.
Thought the two donnellys were the match winners today, turned the game IMO. Richie stood up and got a good point and finished the goal when a Tyrone man was needed to step up to the plate. Darragh was outstanding, won the match for us after that.

I think Tyrone's comeback is being underplayed here. Twas magnificent. Not sure of the timing but I think it was at 40 mins when the scoreboard read 0-14 to 1-4. The taking the bull by the horns attitude was tremendous.

Of course you can. Just don't be surprised when you engage in your customary ABT support, when you get a barb or two back ;)
Thought McNulty did a great job round the middle when he came on (number 18) Dara Donnelly was outstanding. Liam Gervin will be pushing for a start in the final. Winning like that will do Tyrone more good than their last two matches. Looking forward to the final - Tyrone's 4th(?) at minor since 2001

I think it's time for a motion to Congress to ban Mayowr teams from playing in Croke Park seeing as they always make a horse's ar*e out of them selves there.
Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory ....
To be fair, Mayo have a fairly impressive record at the semi stage.
What a game. It was pulstating stuff.
What a come back.
With Tyrone 7 down it looked over - But credit to the management who rung the changes and the subs had a very, very telling impact on the game.
I hope they can finish the job they started.
Seriously disappointing we really should be closing out a game when 7 up, the management didn't react at all to what was unfolding before them in the last 15. Tyrone are sickeningly good at this level.
QuoteTyrone are sickeningly good at this level.
but sweet to watch ;)
Although Tyrone took their goals well (even though the sub took 27 steps for the last one) Mayo left this one behind them.
They should get some good senior players off that team though.

Ah now Ross that s a load of bollocks. Tyrone were 1/4 and an earlier poster expected to see Tyrone win by double scores. Another poster accused mayo of choking. Looks like you re doing the same. Most plausible reason Mayo lost was we probably ran out of options and players that could be introduced and relied upon to improve matter. Actually Mayo upped their game seriously today and have come a long way in a few months and are probably the most improved minor team over the summer. This team was hammered in challenges early Summer. But the soft analysis is always going to be the choking one. I suppose we ll have to live with it. Teams that weren't there would always have done better.
Why do people feel the need to have a pop at Mayo whenever we lose in the closing stages of the championship. We've done very well to get to the last 4 and there should be a few players out of this years batch that will be good seniors - successful year for them in my view.
Simple story of the game ... Mayo started well, Tyrone then hit a purple patch to hit 1-3. Mayo completely dominated for the next 20 minutes out-scoring Tyrone by 11 pts to 1. They Tyrone came good again for the last 15 to win by 3 cos goals win games. Mayo failing to close it out is nothing to do with lack of mental fortitude and has no connection at all to past ghosts of Mayo teams. 'Closing the game out' and other such daft phrases just don't apply when you are 7 pts up and playing against a team as good as Tyrone and when you look like you could concede a goal any time Tyrone attack.

For the record, i thought the Tyrone keeper made a foot block on the last Mayo goal chance and it should have been a penalty.
Says it all really in Mayo we don't believe we can close a game out when 7 points up.
Don't mean to be condescending but Mayo'd be some county if they did have lads who knew the mechanics of closing games out etc. I know Tyrone are Johnny-come-latelys in that regard but Mayo are thereabouts year in year out and perhaps possess the most naturally gifted minors over this last 15 years. But, as with today, they seem to play off the cuff.

Has nothing to do with it. Watched this game from the Hill. It was a microism of why Tyrone are so successful. Because ALL THEIR TEAMS play the same way from u14 to senior. The system is so defined and the players believe in it so much that they keep playing regardless of the scoreline in the belief they will prevail. So when the shit hits the fan they trust the system to get them out of trouble.
When Mayo, Dublin, meath, kildare etc all hit problems in games they panic. Because they brought up using no system and its too late to start teachimg them systems at senior level. Thats why they fall apart so easily in my game.
Mayo had no system. they were like a horse roaming the prairie without a rider. lovely natural players with no system. Dublin's lack of systems lost them the senior game today. because we are tryig to tackle like Tyrone without the system. the damage isn't done at senior level. Its done between u14 to minor.
I think you sorta agreed with me. Totally.

toltally agree with blast here , this continous comment that we are chokers whenever a mayo team looses is a bit played out at this stage , you would swear from some of the posters comments on here that they were winning Ai year in year out ::)i was at yesterdays game and it was a faboulous game of football mayo gave this tyrone team a serious scare some of the scores were inspirational however tyrone took their goals brilliantly, the killer pass for the 2nd goal was worth the admission price alone and for 4.1 outsiders mayo can be proud of themselves. what did keith duggan write after the 2006 Ai don't fell sorry for mayo because they will be back contesting Ai semi and finals soon and guess what he is right we will be back because thats what we do
Well said Deel Rover.
Great day out in Croke Park yesterday. Nice to be able to enjoy the big match as a neutral.
Was really proud of our lads. I know they didn't get over the finish line but they gave it their very best effort. As we have said before that is all we ask and if this group learns from this they will be better players. From my viewpoint in the Cusack Stand the ref made two very bad calls before Tyrone came down the field to get goals... of course somebody could have stopped them before then by tighter marking.
Tony Duffy has done some good work with this group this year and it is clear that the likes of O'Connor, Coen, Durkan and Kirby are fellas that have a serious future if they stay focused. Together with the pickings of the last two minor teams, and some fellas already on the senior panel we are not in as bad a state as some people would think but the management appointment is crucial to harness this over the next 5 years.

yeah there was some athmosphere Barney. the noise when the teams were parading was unreal . you just can't beat the atmosphere when playing the dubs in a packed out croker
You can look at yesterday's game in a few different ways.
The most obvious one is that we should have won it - it's sickening to score 16 points and lose to a team that scored 10, but when you concede 3 goals you're always going to be in trouble.
But that was a much better performance than most people were expecting. Mayo improved hugely from their earlier games, so well done to management, coaches and players for that. There were some excellent performances (particularly from midfield up) and that's 3 very good minor teams in a row, so when we finally get our act together in senior, we have potential - the problem has been bringing that potential through of course...
The gobshites who know nothing and look for the easy conclusion will say it was another case of Mayo choking in Croke Park, but that's complete rubbish and most intelligent people will realise that.
what a weekend.......
minor match was deadly, dara played brilliantly, pity there wasn't more tyrone support thou..
thoroughly enjoyed being a neutral for the senior game, it's was great being relaxed and taking it all in... by the end i thought i was a corkonian...
lookin forward to the all ireland!

Well it's up to Galway to keep the Connacht minor final appearance going, 6 finals in row will be so going for a so called weaker province
I think that Tony Duffy has done a great job with this team. People go on about Tyrone s system and of course they have a point. But not every team plays the same. Mayo minors this year were not as off the cuff as some think. In fact yesterday Tyrone found scores difficult to come by. 2 of the goals were a bit fortunate - especially the last one. Apart from the steps isssue a defender had done welll earlier to knock the ball out of a forwards hands only to roll perfectly to put the scorer into space. Mayo had a chance when 6/7 up to put the game away. In games sometimes it happens for you. Yesterday Tyrone got thr breaks they needed to win the game. The point I m making though is that we actually played a sweeper yesterday for much of the game and crowded up the middle as well. Tyrone found it difficult enough to break us down.
If I may have one criticism it is that I think the panel should have been kept open ended. Tyrone s 15 O Neill is only 16. I think we should have had Regan about there. With likes of Coen and O Connor keeping defenders preoccupied he could have been the game winner. Flying in the club championship at minor and U21 he s pace and scores goals. Unfortunately we ll have to wait til next year to see him.
Sorry if this has already been answered but do setanta or TG4 or anyone show repeats of the minor match as I never got it recorded and would like to see it again

I think that Tony Duffy has done a great job with this team. People go on about Tyrone s system and of course they have a point. But not every team plays the same. Mayo minors this year were not as off the cuff as some think. In fact yesterday Tyrone found scores difficult to come by. 2 of the goals were a bit fortunate - especially the last one. Apart from the steps isssue a defender had done welll earlier to knock the ball out of a forwards hands only to roll perfectly to put the scorer into space. Mayo had a chance when 6/7 up to put the game away. In games sometimes it happens for you. Yesterday Tyrone got thr breaks they needed to win the game. The point I m making though is that we actually played a sweeper yesterday for much of the game and crowded up the middle as well. Tyrone found it difficult enough to break us down.
If I may have one criticism it is that I think the panel should have been kept open ended. Tyrone s 15 O Neill is only 16. I think we should have had Regan about there. With likes of Coen and O Connor keeping defenders preoccupied he could have been the game winner. Flying in the club championship at minor and U21 he s pace and scores goals. Unfortunately we ll have to wait til next year to see him.
Apparently, that's bollix.
Brolly talking up Tyrone before match was ranting and raving about Grugan and O'Neill, mentioned that O'Neill only gone 16. Would be interesting to know.

Sorry if this has already been answered but do setanta or TG4 or anyone show repeats of the minor match as I never got it recorded and would like to see it again
It was shown on RTÉ, so will still be on the RTE Player.

I wouldn't know. Just taking the word of a poster on here. Even if sixteen probably only another year left at minor anyway. My point was that we left at least 1 younger lad out and seemed to have gone with 17/18 year olds. No problem with that. Just like to keep a panel fluid. 4/5 months at that age can see some players leap on. In Mayo s case there was one 16/17 yr old that were not considered that is an out an out marker - something we don t do well. I hope this does not come across as a criticism of the lads because it's not. Panels in Mayo are nailed down early and that's it.
The bottom line is that the lads at underage these last 3 years have shown up those that represented us at senior and their management for the last 4. The contrast is stark. How could a county that has produced the last 2 minor finalists and last Sunday s team could possibly be related to what we ve been seeing at senior over the same period.

Thank God I was away and didn't have to listen to the Brolly/ Pat bitch in. Neither have any class or shame. If what I ve heard that RTE and their camp analysts ignored Mayo in the preview is true then they are worse than I even imagined. I m fortunate I dont get to witness them too often. I m either at the game or avoid their preview, half-time and review. The only ingredient missing in the Sunday Game with Pat and Brolly is Liam Hayes. That would be the ultimate Monty Pyton. In fact there would be no need to show the game at all. Just let them belt away.

OK did not read back all comments. Think Micheal Ó Sé said same in the commentry for match. Take Your Points said he is year 14 whatever that means, hardly started school at 2 !
Pre match build up was more than disrespectful of Mayo.

In our system, you can attend primary school for 7 years, P.1 to P.7, and secondary school for 7 years, Year 8 to Year 14. The usual age range is 4 to 11 in primary and 11 to 19 in secondary school.

Delighted I was at match (and most matches) as I didn't get to witness Brolly and co wishing they were from Tyrone... Anyway, seen as we weren't supposed to be within an asses roar of this supposedly great Tyrone team (which managed to finally expose our defence) we were only a kick of the ball from been level at the end. Have to say all the players from midfield up did everything they could and it was rather unfortunate to concede the 2-6 in the last quarter. But that's life. It all pales into comparison when I heard about the Down lad who died on the pitch. Fair dues to Tyrone, they took their goal chances, we didn't end of story.
To be fair to Brolly he had seen Omagh in the Ulster minor club and Grugan and O'Neill performing for them. He was asked about it and rightly highlighted that they were two very talented lads. The two other panellists seemed to know nothing about either team. Mayo were ignored in the build up to the minor semi final alright but there are plenty of Mayo panellists and analysts to more than even it up over the years. ;D

Fair enough but Marty of the Morrisseys when interviewing our own Tony Duffy the Mayo minor manager only referred to the Tyrone team's greatness etc and not about Mayo.
Mayo surely have enough guys spouting in the media, time for Eamon O'Hara to keep up. :D
Good to see Liam Gervin back on Sunday, but how far is Keifer Morgan from returning. Makes the run to the final all the more spectacular considering these two would be regarded as two stars of the team yet have played very little if anything due to injury.

Yes. We had a few lads from our 2009-10 MacRory Cup squad in the squad named for last Sunday.
3. Conor Clarke – An Omaigh
5. Niall Sludden – An Droim Mór
9. Conan Grugan – An Omaigh
11. Thomas Canavan – Aireagal Chiaráin
13. Stefan Tierney – Aireagal Chiaráin
14. John McCullagh – An Caisleán Glas
15. Ronan Ó Néill -An Omaigh
22. Cahir McCullagh – An Caisleán Glas
23. Ryan Lynch – Aireagal Chiaráin
how many of these will be playing macrory in 2010/2011?
Is Niall Sludden a son of Martin Sludden?
Who's fancied for the other semi?
Galway team to play Cork in Sundays All-Ireland semi-final
1. James Keane Bearna
2. Colm MacDonnacha Leitir Mór
3. James Shaughnessy Ballinasloe
4. Paul Varley Cortoon Shamrocks
5. Mark Loughnane St Gabriel's
6. Marcus Kelly Ballinasloe
7. Jack Vaughan Clifden
8. Eoghan Commins Claregalway
9. Thomas Flynn Athenry
10. Niall Quinn Tuam Stars
11. Fiontan Ó Curraoin (Capt) Michaél Breathnach
12. Niall Walsh Killanin
13. Peadair Ó Gríofa Micheál Breathnach
14. Conor Rabbitte Kilkerrin-Clonberne
15. Shane Maughan St Michael's
Eanna Ó hEochaidh from An Spideal hasn't recovered from his broken collarbone that forced him to miss the Connacht final and quarter-final. Big loss as he's a superb midfielder and was the captain. At least they are probably used to being without him by now.
That midfielder was super against us and one of the reasons ye pulled through when we eventually mustered a bit of a challenge.
Amazing the shift in power in Galway football looking at the clubs involved.
Is it the schools or the County Board who deserve the most credit for the recent good Tyrone minor teams, or is that too simplistic? Any sign of the talent drying up?

Would be further than anyone in my old secondary school would of travelled, by a good few miles and we are more rural !
I know a few fellas who would travel from Derrytrasna (few miles outside Lurgan in Armagh) to St Colmans in Newry, and there was always a good few who used to travel from Strabane to Omagh (CBS) or Strabane to Derry (St Columbs). Theres even a poster here who would have travelled from Lurgan to Rathmore Grammar in Belfast.
Aughabrack or Cranagh students would have closer to 20 miles to travel and would get their first bus shortly after 7.
Are there no secondary schools closer or is it a case of picking the favoured school ? With such a pick no wonder that school winning titles for fun.
Omagh would be the closest grammer school
Ballygawley has a very good High school in St Ciaran's that also has an excellent record in Vocational Football Competitions but if you prefer a Grammar school education Omagh CBS is one of the closest. A lot of lads go to it fo A-levels after doing GCSEs elsewhere.

Not really. Derry might be if from Aughabrack.
Most people get one bus from near their home then a connecting bus to Strabane or Omagh. No matter where you go, you leave and return home at the same time.
If you want to go to the tech or training college then Omagh is the only choice.
From Cranagh/Rouskey/Greencastle then Omagh would be closest town with a grammer school. This would be same for many other areas of rural Tyrone.
Yep, there are grammar schools in Derry and also in Strabane.
They are no closer though, unless you have your own transport

Even more amazing if you consider Athenry, a hurling club with 3 all-Irelands , have nobody on the minor hurling team and one on the football. Lots of football refugees from Mayo moved in during the boom and now the football at under age is flying.

This is my first time seeing the minor semi final on video because I live a broad. But my God both Tyrone and Mayo teams served up some fantastic football. The standard looked very high.
Will Tyrone loose many of these lads for next year? Also the management seem to be doing a great job with these youngsters. Is this their 2nd All - Ireland minor their going for? Some of these fellas could get a job along side Mickey next year. Or they could be responsable for Tyrone u21's. They need to be trying to win an u21 soon I feel. This is the vital link between minor and senior.

Omagh CBS is the grammar school for West Tyrone. We have around 930 boys aged between 11 and 19 and would be the one of the largest boys schools in Ulster. The nearest grammar schools would be St Michael's Enniskillen (26 miles), St Columb's Derry (34 miles) and St Pats Dungannon (30 miles). We have a catchment area of just over 1500 square miles and within that area there are a number secondary schools. As a grammar school, we share their catchment areas and some boys choose to join us to complete their Post-16 studies.
We have had as many as 12 boys on AI winning minor squads. On 2010 Tyrone squad, Joe McMahon, Justin McMahon, Pascal McConnell, Stephen O'Neill, Davy Harte, Peter Harte, Sean O'Neill, Dermot Carlin, Ronan McNabb and Mark Donnelly are all past students. Other recent AI winning students include Mickey McGee, Mark Harte, Leo Meenan, Brian Meenan, while Mickey Harte and Tony Donnelly are former CBS student.
FFS 930 boys!
A schools in Connacht are trying to compete with less than 400 in some cases. In fact more like 350. Footballers in Mayo especially are spread out over a range of small schools. Omagh probably the equivalent of all the footballing boys in North Mayo in one school. You could do things then. Great resource for Tyrone football.
It's rumoured they still use the cane in Omagh CBS too so that might also help the disciplined nature of their lads on the field.
Imagine one of those lads looking up and see the main man staring down in a big red coat shaking his head after a narrow wide. You'd make sure the next one went over.

Omagh CBS is the grammar school in West Tyrone, St Pats Dungannon is the other grammar school in the east of the county, it is now co-ed but would have 700 boys. In addition, the secondary schools in the county play in vocational competitions and contribute the county vocational squad.
In the last ten years, Omagh CBS have won MacRory 2001, 2005 & 2007 and were finalists in 2002, 2009 & 2010 and St Pat's won MacRory in 2004, 2008 & 2010. Both schools won the Hogan once during the last decade.
With those numbers that should be expected. My old Alma Mater won the Connacht A league this year from a number of less than 350. Could have won the Champ. as well, but lost a third of the league team. In fact lost the semi in xtra time to a school twice the size, with a scratch team with U15 s in the side. Only one of that team started v Tyrone the last day. And Mayo teams are often seen as quitters. Most Mayo teams burst their holes. That s what I meant earlier post. Mayo really did close the gap this year starting from scratch with that minor team. At this stage people outside the county must realise how badly our resources have been handled too often in the past. I think it explains why we are fretting so much about a new senior manager.

I believe the CBS are dead against a move to an Education Village on the old Lisanelly barracks. Haven't heard why yet though, so if you could shed a little light on the subject TYP :)
Around the Limavady/North Derry area the choice for Mac Rory Cup football is very limited, I think you would have to go over the mountain to St Patricks or am I wrong?
There a very interesting story about a Grammer School in limavady.

Thought i was on the wrong thread!!!
Anyway back to todays match, a cracking game so far. Both teams are going at it full pelt. The Galway team are very dangerous while the Cork team are full of running and power, bit like their senior team.
All to play for now in the second half.
what ared they feeding boys now? These lads are giants and really strong.
Pity Cork weren't as profligate with their goal chances the last day.

TYP,

The first thing to say is that given the quality of the facilities at Omagh CBS on the Kevlin Road, Coolnagard and the Brothers' Park, even if the campus could be delivered within the next 5 years, Omagh CBS would not be asked to move to the new site for at least 15 years, the remaining economic life of the existing facilities. Dept of Education cannot justify abandoning a building in such excellent condition when there are so many schools without basic amenities and facilities, we have schools in Omagh with over 20 mobile classrooms and others which need immediate repairs to roofs and windows. £1,000,000 has been spent by Dept of Education on improving the facilities at Omagh CBS over the last 5 years and further improvements are in the pipeline.
Secondly, any major public expenditure on educational facilities must be justified in terms of the cost against the educational benefit. No one has put forward an educational argument in its favour, i.e. a convincing educational benefit to justify creating an experimental educational campus with 4000 children being educated on a single site. The campus is a political entity rather than educational, i.e. the removal of the military from a garrison town and replacement of their fort with schools. Apparently, Gordon Brown signed over the army camp for educational use, so the Executive has a site of 110 acres and is seeking a solution. In Omagh, we shouldn't simply build schools because we have a free site, we need to consider what re-organisation is needed to provide the best education for children in West Tyrone. Why build schools and find that demographics and changing needs makes them redundant within following five years?
Thirdly, the army camp is an unsuitable site for a campus. A fort was built on the site because it was on a hill to overlook the surrounding area and was defended by a river along half of its perimeter. Rivers and school children are never a good mix and one of the features of the plan is a riverside walk for the children to get back to town and to the bus depot as Translink have already stated that the depot will not move to the campus. 25 acres of the site, earmarked for sports grounds, is in the flood plain and is virtually unusable as the river rises and falls on a daily basis removing any drainage. For a school site you want almost flat land to build facilities and to have sports grounds. We have a site like that in Omagh at the old Tyrone & Fermanagh hospital. There is a brand new school on part of this site, Drumragh Integrated College. That's right, one of the arguments being put forward by some is that the new campus would integrate the children in the area but, during the two years it has been working towards building the campus, Dept of Education has built a new integrated school on a different site! This shows the political nature of the project proposals as the T & F site is also for free as it is no longer used as a hospital facility. The army camp is in a part of the town with the worst infrastructure, it is usually in traffic gridlock and adding a school with almost 5000 people moving and from it will result in further chaos. The proposed campus would take the students further from the FE college than their current sites.
The ideal use for the Lisanelly camp would be the PSNI training college. It has all of the facilities needed and for training it has a small village built in the middle which was used by the army families during the 30 years they spent locked inside. Again, this would not fulfil the political aims of those promoting the campus. The three housing estates within the camp could be used for social housing or sold off like Ballykelly.
Will there be grammar schools in 5 years? Yes. There is no political agreement to have a change in our educational system so academic selection will remain. Catholic schools should not unilaterally change as this would destroy these schools within 5 years leaving the only grammar schools in the state sector and the students will leave our schools as has already been shown in many areas. We need an independent commission to examine our educational provision in N.Ireland which all will accept and not be dragged along by ideology. How can we make our system for all children better by evolution?
Just my personal opinion, not that it counts for much in the big picture.
I'll sow it out in barley and wheat for 50 pound a acre if ye's want.
lol it's a who can score more goals type of game
What chance that there'd be more goals from two matches in Croke park than a whole sunday of English PL?
Same as Mayo last week (7 ahead) let's see how Galway fare

Did I say Sunday? I meant weekend!!
Corks defence is all over the place, there is a free channel straight though to goal nearly every time!
Just as I write this Galway bang in another goal!
They'll not have the same luxury versus Tyrone if they reach the final.
Another goal for Cork...holy crap!
Jaysus, how did our lads manage at least one goal against this Cork defence? Unbelievably porous. Galway's isn't much better.
I'd say the Tyrone minors are laughing their heads off watching this.
Another All-Ireland in the bag.
Great save there by the Galway keeper.
Corks wing back Jamie Wall looks like a useful player.

Mayo should have won that game but this is like watching two u-14 teams.
Cork on top now, winning midfield 6 minutes to go point in it to Galway
Level!
Galway seem transfixed on going for goal, could be their undoing.
Easy free for cork to level.
Ref will blow it up now.

Well Galway were 9 ahead at one stage & blew it
Late free for Cork to snatch it...it's over!!
Great game...that's it! Harsh on Galway.
I know the defending is hardly IC standard but this minor championship stuff is quare stuff! Abandon the senior championship I would say.
Great excitement there.
Tyrone will win the final by double figures.
Could & should have been a Galway v Mayo Final but... only have themselves to blame
best of luck to Tyrone/Cork in final should be a cracking game
Great game, thought the ref was a little sore on Galway near the end.
Araaagggh Galway should have won that, that last Galway attack had Cork on the racks, that crossfield pass is what cost them, it was pure aimless.
I thought it was a brilliant game to watch. A bit mad but exciting none the less.
Great excitement, very enjoyable game, but Tyrone should have the title in the bag based on that defending.
I thought last weeks game was far better.
Teams should have to work for their goals FFS.
A right sickener that. Should have closed out the game when 9 points up but instead let in a goal immediately and could barely win a kickout in the last 15 minutes. Galway badly missed Eanna O'hEocaidh in midfield. Thought our forwards especially O'Griofa and Maughan had the winning of the game but couldn't get them enough ball near the end. The less said about both defences the better. Cork seemed to get a fair few handy frees off the ref alright but sure that's football.
Congrats to the lads getting this far anyway. Young team I believe. Think most of them are still minor next year so hopefully they will go at least one better in 2011.
Only caught the second half of the game but have to say it was one of the most entertaining and exciting halves of football I have seen in a long long time.... Pretty soft free for Cork to win it but Galway should have made better work of the ball before the turnover which led to the foul
That Cork team deserve great credit. Late goal to beat Kerry. Outplayed against Armagh but score 3 goals including one in the last seconds to win it and now come from 9 points down against Galway. Tyrone I believe are a far better team but the spirit of this Cork team could make a quare game of it.
Cork were the better team but their full back line is shocking. There was a real danger at one stage that Galway would have more goals than points on the scoreboard. Still, I do think Cork have a slightly better chance of winning the final than Galway would have.
I thought the ref should have given Galway another attack to level the match. 3 minutes injury time was announced. But Cork took almost a minute over the last free. This is something I have seen in many matches; Referees not considering stoppage time that occurs during the additional time. Drives me crazy.
I hadnt seen any of these Galway minors playe before. There are some prospects there, Numbers 3, 5, 9, 13 & 15 all look like good players. I cant remember their names.
Peadar Ó Gríofa would be one of the corner forwards, on reflection, Mayo might not have won Connacht final if he started, who knows.

Eanna O'hEocaidh was probably the biggest loss given the trouble Galway had in midfield towards the end of the game. Broke his collar bone before the Connacht final. Think he togged today but obviously wasn't ready in time.
O'hEocaidh, O'Griofa, Maughan, Ó Curraoin and Shaughnessy are all good prospects. Shaughnessy actually did quite well at full-back considering his two corner-backs were struggling and the half-back line weren't providing much in the way of protection. The keeper looked useful as well.
Would have been good for these young lads to experience an All-Ireland final even though I think Tyrone will have too much for whoever won today. They have a distinct pattern of play almost like a senior team where too much of Galway's play seems to be off the cuff. Fantastic when it works but when it breaks down you're snookered against an organised side.

Given the nature of Cork's win over Armagh, perhaps justice would be done if Tyrone won by a controversial last minute goal.

Tyrone 3-1 on in some places. Plenty of value for Cork punters.
From Hoganstand.com:
Mc Anenly has faith in Tyrone's minor batch
15 September 2010
Tyrone minor selector Cathal McAnenly rubbishes the notion that Tyrone's name is on the cup. His confidence in his troops is rampant though.
How to stop the awesome juggernaut that is the Tyrone minors?
Other than team-manager Raymond Munroe, no-one knows the current O'Neill county lads better than selector Cathal McAnenly and, guess what, he ain't telling.
He has the armoured confidence of the hardened mentor and yet the tact of the most taciturn official from the foreign office.
Optimistic yes, but mum's the word all the same.
At times this year, the Tyrone minors McAnenly has helped cultivate have looked a side without a fissure or weakness so there's a mighty challenge ahead of Cork in the upcoming ESB All-Ireland MFC final.
Tyrone/Cork football rivalries may be among the less venerable of the raft that pock mark the history of the GAA but this year the ante has been ratcheted up more than an octave or three.
It's telling that the aforementioned McAnenly admits that the Tyrone think-tank don't possess anything close to the most intimate knowledge of their opponents but that doesn't dilute the respect he holds for the young Rebels and the county's tradition:
"Look at the way they (Cork) came back against Armagh in the quarter-final and then against Galway in the semi-final - those kind of displays showed the character that's in the team," McAnenly stated.
"You've got to respect a team that has come out of Munster 'cause if you don't, you're going to get your comeuppance."
McAnenly knows the course, of course. He was alongside boss Munroe in 2008 when the Red Hand minors won the Ulster and All-Ireland titles.
He talks about Tyrone's Class of 2010 having "the opportunity of a lifetime in front of them now."
"I think our fellas are pretty well grounded and mature and they know that these opportunities don't come around too often.
"We've every confidence in their ability to make it count on the third Sunday; they're a very capable bunch of young footballers."
While the Tyrone minors and their backroom team are counting the days down to another visit to Croker, Tyrone Football Inc. is still going at it full tilt.
Club games continue in the county unabated and it might come as a surprise to some of the counties who have seldom if ever travelled down the road to Croker in September that the Tyrone minors are going at it hammer and tongs as well.
"A lot of the fellas on the panel are playing senior football with their clubs and getting a lot of game time.
"Of course, you'd be concerned that they'd pick up an injury but they could just as well get crocked during training with us.
"We're very disappointed that we're after losing our goalkeeper Mark McReynolds through injury but we have two good lads who are in the running to fill in for him.
"You can't hold up the club scene; those games have to be accommodated and the minor championship has gone on as well."
The influential Liam Girvan shrugged off a niggling hamstring injury to make an appearance after 44 minutes in the team's 3-10 to 0-16 semi-final triumph over Mayo and McAnenly is hopeful that there will be no more concerns in the camp for this month's final.
"Let's just say we'll be keeping our fingers crossed on that one," he cautions. "It would be more a case of hope rather than expectation in terms of thinking about having a full deck of cards to choose from for the final."
As for the past few months, 30 lads will be bursting themselves to nick a starting place for Tyrone next time out.
For Tyrone's Ulster MFL campaign earlier this year, the panel was that bit bigger and a tad different in shape and make-up.
The county reached the final of the league but were swept aside by 2-14 to 0-8 by Dublin at Kingspan/Breffni Park.
Tyrone were 0-1 to 2-3 adrift as early as the 9th minute and never subsequently looked capable of winning their game of catch-up.
Nine of Tyrone's starting line-up that faced Mayo in last month's All-Ireland semi-final did duty in Cavan for the league final.
Contrary to the feeling that might have been expected to prevail in the Tyrone dressing-room after the Dublin game, it wasn't a case of the well of innate optimism draining away to just a damp patch instead.
"That was a comprehensive defeat for us," McAnenly says of the league final setback.
"Losing so badly left us with lot to ponder but the more we thought of it the more we came to the conclusion that Dublin were a lot further down the road of their championship preparations than us and it showed on the night.
"It was a reality check though, all the same, and we realised we had a lot of work to do in the four weeks that followed before the championship game with Antrim."
The clash with Antrim panned out as per the script, mirroring the meeting between the sides in the Ulster league.
Munroe and McAnenly badly wanted to advance their squad's bid for the Tom Markham Cup via the front door so nothing was to be taken for granted.
"There was no question of anyone in the camp being complacent and we didn't start too badly against Antrim but they got a goal on the stroke of half-time which gave them a huge lift and we had to regroup after that.
"Things improved in the second half and we ended up running out winners by a handful of points and that was all that counted."
Down were next up in the Ulster semi-final. A 1-10 to 0-10 result ushered the Tyrone lads into the Ulster final. A means to an end, manager Munroe hastened to explain to journalists at the time.
"This wasn't about getting to an All-Ireland quarter-final," he declared. "I want to go into an All-Ireland quarter-final as Ulster champions.
"They're growing in maturity from the last day; it's a learning curve.
"They're aware they deserve to be in an Ulster final, now it's about going out and trying to win that."
Winning every game was the Tyrone mantra from the spring time. The Down win was seen by one and all as a mere stepping stone.
Down were expected to place a stone inside Tyrone's boot. With a sprinkling of players from the St. Colman's College Newry side that whipped Omagh CBS in the McRory Cup (and who later scooped the Hogan Cup), Down were a lot of people's fancy to be Ulster's flagship minor team in '10.
"The win over Down gave the lads a massive boost in confidence, especially the lads who had come onto our panel after the league from Omagh.
"Sometimes things can click into place for you at just the right time and Mark McReynolds pulled off a great save late in the day which was a big help.
"We had a terrific 15 minutes either side of the half-time break which provided us with a useful cushion to go on and hold them off."
Dame Fortune favoured Tyrone in the Ulster final against Armagh but luck had no part in the O'Neill County running out convincing winners in Clones.
"It was probably our best overall performance of the year so far," McAnenly opines.
"I thought our dominance in the vital diamond area of the field gave us a great foundation to build on but all the lads kept their focus.
"They knew that there was a terrific prize on offer at the end of the game if they could stay put in the driving seat."
It's a long number of years now since Tyrone were a mid-level county at minor level and in beating Kerry by 2-12 to 0-9 in the All-Ireland quarter-final they demonstrated their desire and determination to be totemic standard bearers in the under 18 grade. Mayo are no slouches at minor level either but their All-Ireland dream was ended by Tyrone in the subsequent semi-final on a scoreline of 3-10 to 0-16.
"Our main job as a management team after the win over Kerry was to keep the fellas' feet on the ground," McAnenly explains.
"Mayo were the Connacht champions and have a proven pedigree at minor level but holding them scoreless for the first quarter of an hour gave our lads a lot of confidence which they were able to build on.
"In fairness to Mayo, they worked us hard right 'till the very end and it took a lot of good defending to keep them out in the dying minutes."
Just an hour-plus away from a job well done then?
"There's a lot of work to be done and we know Cork will do their damndest to make sure they do a better job."

Tyrone Minor keeper to make debut in All-Ireland final
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/northern_ireland/gaelic_games/9007239.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/northern_ireland/gaelic_games/9007239.stm)
Rookie goalkeeper Colm Spiers will make his championship debut in Sunday's All-Ireland MFC final against Cork.
Spiers has been thrust into the limelight due to a foot injury which has ruled regular keeper Mark McReynolds out of the Croke Park final.
Manager Raymond Munroe has otherwise kept faith with the team which started the semi-final win over Mayo.
Thomas Canavan has recovered from an ankle injury and will lead the attack from centre forward.
Tyrone: C Spiers, S McGarrity, C Clarke, HP McGeary, N Sludden, M Donaghy, E Deeney, H Og Conlon, C Grugan, R Donnelly, T Canavan, R Devlin, S Tierney, J McCullagh, R O'Neill.

That's good news, and a great sub in Liam Girvan (amongst others) on the bench.
Really looking forward to this. I think it'll be a clinker.
Cork have no system and will lose. Bottom line.
Were simply lucky against galway. Cork have some fine players but a team with no system loses in croke park against a good team. Their manager is making great noise abaout the fact they have no system.
On Sunday at the end of the game he will realise the difference in having one. In my view.
But minor football is a funny ol game. On the big occasions the best teams can freeze. Tyrone almost did v Mayo.
Here we go. The best 24 young men in Tyrone. Yes they can do it.

I saw Cork beat Tipperary by 3 points in the Munster Semi Final and they did not remotely look like a team capable of winning an All Ireland. They have changed their team a lot all through the Championship and have won their last 3 games against Kerry, Armagh and Galway through late late scores. It says a lot for their spirit, but their were extremely fortunate to beat Kerry and Armagh. Tyrone nearly slipped up badly against Mayo, but I suspect that the warning they got that day will have their heads right on Sunday and I expect them to win.
These are the young guns from Cork :
Cork (MF v Tyrone): D Hanrahan; K Fulignati, M O'Shea, A Cronin; C O'Sullivan, T Clancy, J Wall; J Burns, D Cahalane; J O'Rourke, M Sugrue, D MacEoin; K Hallissey, T Hegarty, B Hurley.
Only Dublin, Tyrone & Kerry have won the minor/senior in the same year.
It's a good team, probably the best Cork could have come up with. West Cork against Tyrone it seems. Haha.
No in fairness, they've done their best to fix the weaknesses from the last day and I think most people will be happy enough with that team. Whatever happens they've done themselves proud. There'll be no lack of heart or workrate on the day, and they'll have a big set of Cork supporters in roaring them on hopefully.

Come on Tyrone.
Cork are annoying me now.
Two great points from the Tyrone 9.

1-12 to 0-8. 6 mins left
gola cork 1-12 to 1-8
squeeky bum time
What a finish for the goal.
Why didn't they bring on the big lad sooner!
Cork on a roll now.
5 mins left, 3 points down.
Cork fists are pumping.
Are Cork going to stumble over the line again?
Thought the point after the goal looked wide or at least over the post...
One point behind now.
wow repeat of the semi final ???
That was a red card challenge IMO
Is the ref going to add on the minute he's just spent screwing around?
Big point for Tyrone.
Big point for Cork
Referee!
Congrats Tyrone great match great win
Christ that was close.
Well done Tyrone. Excellent performance.
go on tyrone that was a tense last ten mins
If I was a Cork fan I would be very annoyed that the management left it so late to bring on the big full forward.
They all look pretty big to me
Well done lads and yet again I missed the Cork goal
That high ball into the FF line was creating havoc
once a again a ref makes a hames of the time-keeping. Tyrone got their last point at 59.14 the match restarts at 60.45 and he plays 2 mins 23 secs?? He had already signalled for the 2 mins before that stoppage, wtf do they not take account of it??
Congrats to Tyrone minors. I feel for the Cork lads , they all bust a gut in the last quarter
Amazing so many cork players who take their own point with an overlap for a goal on.
To play 2 mins of injury time in that second half is inept.
Great finish to that game - great comeback from Cork and Tyrone were well rattled.
better team won. Cant believe tyrone nearly lost. 6-7 points a better team easy. Tyrone manager made too many stupid subs when there was no need. Nearly paid for it. Cant understand why managers do that.
Tyrone had a system. Cork had none. that was the difference. Spillane can prattle on about traditional football. But 15 v 15 iman to man is over.
Final score?
Definitely should've been another minute or two at the end there with the ref's arseing about.
That Tyrone minor team reminded me of our own from last year with the way they could dominate opponents and run up big leads, only to stop inexplicably and almost get caught in the end. Would have doubts if that Cork team was even in the top 5 in the country for talent this year, but they had some balls to keep coming back like that.
To be honest I think Tyrone just about shaded that over the 60 minutes. While the referee may be criticised for the amount of time he added on (probably justifiably), he was instrumental in getting Cork back into the match in the first half with a number of soft frees. Tyrone struggled under the high balls at the end and I'd say Cork will wish they'd went to that tactic sooner.
Ended 1-13 to 1-12 I think new devil
1-13 to 1-12
I'm away to change my drawers! Congrats to the lads well done!
Bit too close for comfort at the end but credit to Cork for coming back. 5 All-Ireland Minor titles in 12 years is some going for Tyrone. Now we need to get a few of the 2008 lads and the best of this current crop onto the senior panel and hopefully the blend of youth with the experience of the older lads would make for a strong team.
Tyrone's 8th title in total.

great record over the past 13 years - have to be congratulated.
Cork threw that away by letting Tyrone build up an 8 point lead inthe first half, making stupid mistakes kicking wides etc. The game was 50:50 and they were 1-5 to no score behind. They must be very fit the way they seem to take over games at the finish. How hard can it be to add on the obvious extra 2 minutes at the end?????? Maceoin should have played the ball to his left at the end to try and set up a goal chance. He probably thought there was more time left??????? There was.
Tyrone deserved it because they took their chances.

cork didn't throw anything away. They were never in it till 7 mins from the end.
I've been saying this for a while now and it gives me great pleasure to reaffirm it.
This must be one of the most improved teams I've seen in quite a while.
Whilst undoubtedly the players have played huge part in this reformation, I think that massive credit must go to the management / coaching staff who have turned this team inside out in a short few months, so much so that a friend of mine who is from Louth reckons they were one of the best ever minor sides to have graced Croke Park. Whilst I wouldn't go as far as that lofty tribute, the degree of transformation has been so great, it's almost incredible.
So on a day when the team have won another minor title, I'd like to pay tribute to a fantastic group of players and a brilliant management team.
Well done lads, you've given us great entertainment all year and you fully deserve the praise that is being heaped on you this evening.

Tyrone deserved for more reasons than that. They deserved it because they are the best in the Country.
As orangeman says the degree of improvement the minors exhibited as the season progressed was extremely impressive and full credit to everyone involved.
Indiana pointed out Tyrone had a system of play and they do, isolated McCullagh and O'Neill works very well for them as the movement of these 2 lads is first class. We in Ardboe know only too well how good O'Neill can be but McCullagh was excellent today as well.
Excellent win today. Things got very edgy towards the end and with the finishing line in sight they just panicked ever so slightly. Someone said in an earlier post Tyrone just about edged it. They did more than that they dominated the game for three quarters of it. I thought young tierney got through a mountain of work and deeney was very good as well. Munroe will probably step up to u21s now and see what he can do with the 08 minor winners this coming year.
It will be interesting which players off that team will be introduced to the senior squad over the next few years. I think Ronan O'Neill is a certainty but not sure who else? Grugan, Canavan and richard donnelly have a chance as well if they develop in the u21s.

Well done to the minors. Following on the topic of improvement, the defeat to Dublin earlier in the year would have brought them on a lot.
Some great players. Seriously impressed by O'Neills speed of thought and awareness of players around him. Hopefully he can make it on a bigger stage given time.
Well done to the lads. Enjoyed being there to see them lift Tom again.
They shouldn't have let Cork back in, but held on... just!
Cork got the goal at the right time, but the management would've come in for fierce criticism if Tyrone had lost. They didn't do much to counter the high ball into the box by Cork that almost undid them.
But anyway... McCullugh! Best I've ever seen him play. Was on fire the whole game. With O'Neill getting so much attention, Tyrone needed someone to step up to the plate, and that he did. Deeny and Sludden once again did the business and the two midfielders stepped in with key scores as usual.
Tyrone Abu! 8 titles, Kerry (11), Dublin, Cork (both 10) now firmly in our sights.

Young Mc Cullagh, my cousin! ;D
Wee John Pat, my neighbour! ;D
Terrific final minor today and it was a really privilege to be there to see it. At half time, it looked as if we were going to walk away with it. In fairness to Cork, they came out in the second half and took the bull by the horns and made a game of it. Very nearly nicked it in the end. Thankfully Tyrone dug deep, fought back and came away the victors.
Special congratulations to my two club men, John & Cahir McCullagh and my cousin Ruairi Loughran.
Great performance from Tyrone Minors, worthy champions, congrats from Down

Feck it must be true..tis the land of a thousand cousins up around that part of the county, all related :P
*Where did FoSB's post go?
:D :D TO you beat me too it
A great great win. We had it won twice, and we end up hanging on by a thread. What was Munroe doing putting players on when we had the game won, no need for change at all, why do managers do that, it nearly cost us big time. Some fine players in that team, and the most pleasing aspect of it is the very similiar method of play we have that is a mirror of the senior team. One of the few counties where this styel of football is coached through all the grades.
Cheeky feckers. >:(
Should I also add that I'm a cousin of one of the 2008 minor players, who in turn is a cousin of the same cousin of mine in the current panel? :D

+1 good all round team
McCullagh was a worthy MOTM, the Cork number 10 wasnt far behind him. What impressed me most about the Greencastle man was that although his marker had the match of him for pace his timing of his runs and the direction of them meant he was first to the ball nine times out of ten.
I thought Tyrone where worth a lot more than a one point win and the filling stadium and a bit of momentum brought the Cork team back into it.

10 of those lads will still be eligible for Minor in 2011, so it'll be at least 66.6% of a good team ;)

I was overwhelmed there by a fit of modesty TO, so just to relieve my discomfort ;)
Think there's only 5 - Mark McReynolds, Johnny Munroe, Cahir McCullagh, Darren McCurry, Enda McGahan
I think Ryan Devlin is eligible next year as well.

yes he is underage as well.
From the Hoganstand:
Munroe goes out on a high
Raymond Munroe has stepped down as Tyrone minor manager after guiding the Red Hands to their second Tom Markham Cup success in three years.
Munroe, who had been at the helm for five years, also delivered three Ulster titles during his successful tenure. Along with Cathal McAnenly and Roger Keenan, he led Tyrone to an All-Ireland final victory over Mayo in 2008 (after a replay) and again last Sunday at Cork's expense.
"This was our last game in charge of Tyrone minors," the manager said.
"We have been involved in development squads, and we moved forward to the minors, and it has been a great five years - three Ulster titles and two All-Irelands."
Selector McAnenly stressed the need for the current crop of Tyrone minors to continue to work hard if they are to graduate to the senior team in the coming years.
"They still have to work on it. There's no guarantee that if you get success at minor level that you're going to get it at senior level," he said.
Congratulations to Munroe, Mc Anenely and Keenan on their great success in the last number of years, a phenomenal achievement!
Hopefully they move up to the 21's next year, an area where we have underachieved in the last while. Who's up next for the minors? Canavan and Lawn?
Would just like to congratulate the Tyrone Minors on a great win. Well deserved and hopefully some of these boys can progress to senior ranks over the years. Would like to see Raymond take a go at the under 21's and perhaps the current management should step aside.
