Leinster U20 and U17 football championship 2025

[Bord na Mona man]

Some win for Offaly considering the early stages of Leinster where they looked off the standard.
Even this evening Offaly were playing 2nd fiddle to a bigger and gym hardened set of units from Louth.
Which was similar to the Kildare semi final where again Offaly had to live off scraps.

Some nerves from Jack Ryan to nail consecutive two pointers. They red card foul was frontal and illegal. Maybe a harsh red, but still a bad challenge.

Dublin beat Wexford 1-18 to 1-15 in u20s tonight and win in minor against Offaly 3-14 to 1-13 last night.

Louth hammering the dubs. Could be a good bet for u20 All Ireland.

Really good game of football last night. Some very decent players on both sides. Kildare finished that bit stronger and deserved their win. Back out next Wednesday against Tyrone?

[rodney trotter]

Good attacking game. The defending was poor enough on both teams. Kildare passed it around a couple of times for over a minute to work a score without any pressure from Louth.

Meath get the win in the end Meath 2-14 Dublin 2-8  Scoreline a small bit flattering to Meath - was tight enough until the last few minutes. Meath Centre-back kicked a monster 2 pointer as the decisive score before Meath added on a few more points in the closing munutes to widen the winning margin when Dublin had thrown caution to the wind chasing the game. Some nice footballers on both sides.

Thought the standard was poor enough, Dublin in particular. We made hard work of it and shot selection was poor for the most part. We were the better team overall and stronger in the middle and moved the ball well out of defence for the most part but there was some very sloppy passages of play that would get punished by better teams when trying to clear out from defence. We also kept going for 2 pointers and rushed a few shots that weren't on.

On the positive side Liam O'Donaghue looks like a great prospect, as is Milo Stafford. Showed good composure and ability to control the game to get ourselves back into the lead and see it out, drawing out the Dublin defence to create a bit of space and kill the game off.

Kildare will be favourites though in the final, though from what I've heard Louth left a good few scores behind them.

Looking forward to tonight's minor final. We've improved since we last played Kildare but we played some poor opposition so hard to judge if we've closed the gap. Kildare have been the best team in Leinster so far but hopefully we can match them and cut out the silly mistakes we made against Dublin.

Game is on TG4 at 07:30
