Hogan Cup Final 2011 - St Colmans College, Newry (Down) v St Jarlaths, Tuam, (Ga

It's like watching an u-21 team play a minor team.
Would the Colmans lads be a year older on average?
They certainly look it physically.

Well they have quite a few of last year's team back. Jarlath's are fairly young from what I heard. Most of them are back next year. Seem to be a bit bigger physically alright.

Think for the McRory Cup there's an extra six months - players can be born after Jan 1 as opposed to July 1 but that it comes back to July for the Hogan. It is like Under 21s v Minors though. I was tempted to back Colman's at 20/1 to win by 16 points or more. They probably will fall short of it but it certainly was good value.

Jarlath's no 11 is always looking to get in for goal. They need to put over a few points to settle themselves down.

Mooney reminds me of a young Sean Cavanagh.

Jarlath's doing fairly well in midfield and look dangerous when they attack but defensively they are leaving lots of space back there.

And they blast another goal chance over the bar. They've had 3 good goal chances and not taken any.

Jarlaths not out of this yet!

Both defences look vulnerable down the middle. Jarlath's finished strong though, we could have a game yet.

Only 2 points in it. Game very much still on.

Jarlaths doing well to hang in there, they need a few Mayo men like the old days to set them straight

Absolutely. Colman's are benefiting from the participation of a few men from the Down side of Clanrye. 

[RedandGreenSniper]

Jarlath's have phenomenal character. After those two hammer goals against huge favourites and for such a young team against a team that is so much bigger than them and looked so much more able, to be back to level now is some going. They may not win this game if Colman's find a few gears but they've been mightily impressive. I'm beginning to believe there's something in tradition.

Come on Jarlath's!

[omagh_gael]

Jarlath's one up!

Fair play to Jarlath's for hanging in there. No 19 is making an impact on the game.

end to end stuff now!

The minor team are doing alright in fairness.

Ha ha, I know - you weren't the one talking about Newry to win by 16 or more though

Murray is not a happy chappy. Jarlath's could rue all these goal chances missed. Still think Colman's will score a couple of killer goals
