BARNEY......Can you name the Mayo Under 21 team that beat Leitrim?

Sorry Shrewdness but I haven't had a gander at this thread in a while. I see the answer is there now.

As I said I do think Ros will be better than us. So does Paddy Power by the way!

Kerry look very strong with Paul O'Connor, Paddy Curran, Donal Moran and Tommy Walsh up front.

Not so sure having seen them twice lots of chinks in their armour .But we live in hope

Tyrone will be kicking themselves and rightly so ! 

[Shrewdness]

No probs Barney.

I would be very concerned that Mayo will dominate midfield. Likely that Tom Parsons and Seamus O'Shea will clean up because Ros weren't impressive there against Sligo.

To be honest, i won't be putting any money on Ros.

Any one know when the semi finals are on ?

[Mourne Rover]

According to the GAA master fixture list, the semis are on Saturday, April 19, and the final is on Saturday, May 3. There is no word about venues yet, but you would expect Navan to get the nod for Down v Kildare. There are several possible options for Kerry v Roscommon/Mayo.

The GAA always seem to fix Kerry /Connacht games in Ennis ( of glorious and immortal memories of that September day )

How about a double header in Mullingar?

[Dinny Breen]

Great performance from Kildare, Kildare are now the most successful side ever in Leinster U/21 football 

No surprise that our defence is our main strength with Glen Ryan as Manager and McGeeney having a big influence, probably 2 of the greatest centre half backs ever to play the game.

Looking forward to the All-Ireland semi Down will be a massive test for this Kildare side and Down will start favourites, if the venue is Navan that will suit having already beat Meath there and it will ensure a big Kildare support...

Why not Croke Park - give the lads a day out, isnt that the idea of the stadia.

Know the Rossies to be clear favourites but..........the Connacht final against Mayo is on tomorrow night !

[Barney]

Last year Cafferkey struggled against Enda Kenny. It was the only bright spot on the day for the Rossies really. Shine, O'Gara and Cregg added to that are going to test us big time.

Parsons and O'Shea will both need huge games in the middle if we are to win.

There seems to be huge expectancy in Ros, while in Mayo many down here don't even know that the game is on. Will be interesting to see how the Rossies meet this burning desire for a much needed win.

Reckon it will be a close one and I think on paper Ros have the better team but have a sneaky feeling that the best laid plans of the GAA will be thrown up in the air and we'll be back in Castlebar on Saturday week.

Can extra time be played? If so, don't be suprised to see a draw and Mayo refusing to play ET under the lights!
