I have seen a him play quite a few times with my involvement with another club and I would agree 100%

Not at it but wind across according to Michael McMullen of Gaelic life.

HT in @StPaulsGAC
@drominteegac 1-7
@clontibretclg 0-1

Goal with the last play
Wind straight across

Dromintee dominant at midfield

Oisin Byrne & Ronan Martin their first line of defence and always the outlet
Fionn Toale as the inside man

Clontibret forced around the edges pitch

Congrats to Dromintee. A serious side. Id the pleasure of watching them stuff us in the league up there on an awful rainy night in the summer.

The weather didnt stop me appreciating what I was seeing. Such a talented group, but their work rate and pressure on the ball all over the pitch was outstanding.

Casement

Don't be surprised to see them there next year too.

There are a few clubs who have been the dominant sides at that age (next year's minors):

Four Masters
Magherafelt
St Bridget's
Dromintee
Errigal Ciaran

It's a brilliant competition and St Paul's dont get enough credit for it.

It's been a very long time since they've participated in it themselves.

Armagh18

Not sure how many of that Dromintee team are still minor next year. O'Rourke will be senior intercounty in the near future by the looks of him

Dromintee are good at minor next year and will be favs for Armagh, but more beatable than this team this year.

Casement

Dromintee are very strong at minor next year. As are Magherafelt and Four Masters.

I forgot about that actually. Think that was 2023.

Over the years there's been a lot of teams that have reached finals with very good young teams, got a trimming but come back the next year with pretty much the same team only a year older and won it (my own club did it), I think Dromintee will be without 3 or 4 very central players, they could be back at St Paul's next year ok but not as big favourites like this year.

Glen left out of that dominant teams list  ???

Casement

Sorry for hurting the feelings re glen 🤣🤣🤣

I thought Magherafelt were the team to beat followed by Bellaghy??

bennydorano

Thought that was recent dominant teams at St Pauls not future, my bad.
