So the Rossies took a 22 point beating off Tyrone in a challenge over the weekend. Don't know how much you can read into that (Don't have any team info etc), but maybe the Connacht U-21 Championship isn't as strong as we thought.

yup heard about that result but will most of the roscommon panel involved in sigerson duty it was sure to be a makeshift team,

but tells us more about Tyrone than the connacht Championship they will take some beating

Didnt Galway win the All Irel Minor in 07 beating Derry? So maybe Tyrone arent that hot after all.
Anyway we have to be roaring outsiders now. :)
Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

And sure poor oul Mayo haven't won a minor since 1985. Christ, Ros to be overwhelming favourites to reach Connacht final at least!!!

Ahh but at U 21 ye're wiping the floor with the rest of us.
What are we doing wrong and what are ye doing right between 18 and 21?
Mayo to walk Connacht U 21 again  8)

So Galway are playing Sligo at 2.30 on St. Patrick's Day, the same time as Portumna are playing in Croke Park, great planning altogether. :-\

Some association alright. Jesus like whats the harm in having the U-21 game in the morning or even the night before. I know i'm not really a hurling man, but even i will be glued to the Portumna Ballyhale game.

Why does the Connacht Council have these games on St. Patrick's Day anyway?  Is it not meant to be a dedicated Club day?
None of the other three provincial councils have their U21 games on that day!

John decrees that it is that way. You have a problem with that?

Not sure about the strength of the Con. championship either. Tyrone are bound to be good. Thought Galway won a softish one in 07 but the 08 minor champions were one of the great Minor teams.
Mayo, as has been pointed out already, have a lot of good players. On paper at least. If Dempsey is true to form, he wont indulge the 'good on paper' stuff and we wont end up with the embarrassing fiasco that was Down last year. While we had enough talent and good fortune last year to stumble over the line in Connacht, when we came across a team with talent and a proper coach, we were chasing shadows.

You don't say. I'm shocked.

Not sure yet, going to wait and see what the weather's like first! Probably watch the hurling though.
