Hastings Cup 2016 - Now back to normal

[Blowitupref]

Has been a high standard in Connacht for the last number of years at both minor and under 21 level, would have to feel sorry for Sligo unlike Leitrim they have improved to a level that would normally be good enough to win Connacht however unfortunately for them Galway,Mayo,Roscommon have become very strong.

[Syferus]

Jaysus we're fairly fantastic in Connacht, I don't know why the other provinces waste their time competing.

I'm sure it will be a very high standard in Connacht again this year. I know ourselves have most of last year's All-Ireland winning team back and the 2011 minors were unlucky to lose to Dublin in the semi-final that year. There will be 3 good teams again and even a little thing like whoever has home advantage could swing it for someone on a given day. From our perspective they certainly have the talent to go all the way and win it again but I would be slightly concerned that after winning it last year they will drop their levels a small bit. Even doing so by 5% could be the difference between winning and losing a game.

Do Galway take part in any pre season tournaments at U21 ?

They just let the natural footballers out of the birthing tanks some time in February, no need for these pre-season tournaments.

Indeed, and it doesn t seem to do them any harm.

Don't seem to. Can't imagine it would do any harm but equally they seem to do alright without them.

Cavan lead Mayo 1-7 to 0-4 just into 2nd half. Very experimental Cavan team, not sure about Mayo but I expect they are the same.

Are the lads who played in the FBD last night playing for Mayo U-21s today?

[Itchy]

I wouldn't know Muppet but surely not.

[Westside]

Cavan lead by 7 at the moment. Have introduced Dara McVeety and Conor Moynagh.

[muppet]

I wouldn't know Muppet but surely not.

It wouldn't surprise me.

[Syferus]

I wouldn't know Muppet but surely not.

You don't seem to know the extent to which player safety is treated with contempt in Connacht.

[Itchy]

Good to see mcveety and especially Moynagh get game time.

[Itchy]

Cavan win 1-14 to 0-10.

[Captain Obvious]

Cavan win 1-14 to 0-10.

Cavan looking good for another Ulster title. Mayo panel not as strong as some originally thought?
