Have to agree with those points you made. Absolutely crazy dispersing the 3 finals around the county. Do they want to stop people from going to them. While Menlough may be poor in Inter final, I do believe that Moycullen are a coming team. They are very fit and well drilled team who will give a game to most teams in senior.

Claregalway would have beaten Corofin if they could have put the ball over the bar....

Claregalway haven't produced a truly fantastic bunch at underage in a while. There were a few years there where they were churning out u14 and u16 teams that were blowing everyone else away. Still a very successful club with massive numbers but the production line, particularly of forwards of senior football standard, seems to have slowed down a bit.

Galway should be bringing the U21 title home. No Kerry, Cork, Mayo, Dublin, Donegal etc have entered the tournament. It would be a HUGE disaster if we didn't win this competition easily. These players have contested three All Ireland finals in a row at minor level, winning two. Seems this is the last year U21 will be played. alanalan (UK) - Posts: 192 - 23/09/2017 12:54:25 2049564 Link 0 |

U21 competition starting soon, Galway should win it easily. None of the other big counties have entered alanalan (UK) - Posts: 192 - 23/09/2017 13:16:25 2049572 Link 0 |

That is if our eligible under 21 players play! lets not open that can of worms! squares_edge (Galway) - Posts: 680 - 25/09/2017 21:05:01 2050480 Link 0 |

They won't be made aware of it in this county anyway, we have seen that PR and advertising and promoting the game isn't the strong point of this county board. In relation to the U21, if that can of worms is the couple of girls who didn't play senior last year, please, don't make me laugh. this panel is made up of all Ireland winners and girls who lost to cork in a final and a semi final by a point. Not one county with even a half serious notion of winning an underage title is taking part. No one should be getting within 20points of Galway. alanalan (UK) - Posts: 192 - 26/09/2017 07:53:46 2050539 Link 0 |

Players not being willing to play for their county should not be a reflection of any management team. Players should play, management manage. If players refuse to join a current set up, regardless of how talented they are or have been, Gakway are better off working with girls who want to play and won't cause more drama. We have had enough of that these ten years or so. JimmyShoeShine (Galway) - Posts: 196 - 26/09/2017 17:18:48 2050735 Link 0 |

would you care to make known these groups and what format the under 21 is? squares_edge (Galway) - Posts: 680 - 26/09/2017 21:50:18 2050837 Link 0 |

Galway in a group with Offaly, Clare and Armagh. The other group is Kildare, Longford, Meath and Monaghan. Absolute walk in the park for Galway.

There are definitely players from those panels out there good enough to make senior panel for next year so hopefully they go in and have a positive experience. in fact, some of the weaker players from those panels are in the senior panel already. Plenty talent available to management, whoever decides to go in.

anybody in Ballyhaunis for the ladies senior connacht club final yesterday?It was some game by all accounts? cora finished with 4-11 and Louise Warde was supposed to have been as influential at the other end. Shes by far and away the best footballer in the county on her day pity we probably wont see her in the maroon jersey for a few years. Carnacon will be fancied to get the job done the next day as cora sounds in unmarkable form. dunphy1 (Galway) - Posts: 30 - 30/10/2017 12:19:46 2059090 Link 0 |

Cora finished with 4-13. Annette Clarke while you didn't think she did a lot still finished the game with 3-4. It was an exceptional game of ladies Football. All thats good about our Game was shown in spades. Ladies Teams are getting younger every year ,Carnacon fielded a 14 year old bagging 1-1 and the goal she got came from an exquisite pass from the midfield area Gooch Cooper like. The points that were taken by both sides if it was a men's game we would be raving about it for years to come. Its anyone's game the next day I think myself Carnacon rely on Cora too much ,Clonbern have awesome forwards with a wicked turn of pace. They might just do it for the Galway side.

Busy day on Sunday for Galways ladies Teams with both K/C and Moycullen hoping to join TuamCortoon as Connaught Champs. I expect Moycullen to come through by about 5 points, and K/C with their greater spread of forwards to win the replay. Don't expect 42 scores in 60 minutes this week as expect to see both managements coming with a plan to cut out on the easy concession of scores we had the last day. The U21team without their 8 club tied players will have it all to do to overcome an unbeaten Meath outfit in the Aisling McGing semi also on Sunday. The winners will play Mayo in the Final following week in St Croans Pitch. Topoftherite (Galway) - Posts: 5 - 03/11/2017 17:58:35 2060200 Link 0 |

If you think the Galway U21 team, who are made from a panel who contested four minor tAll Ireland finals will struggle against a Meath team who didn't contest a Leinster final in those years, then you know absolutely nothing about ladies football. If Galway don't win this by 10-15 points then seriousnquestions need to be asked. Ridicoulous comment to make saying Galway have it all to do. You are hardly involved with the set up and are trying to down play things? You can't genuinely believe that Galway should be finding it tough against Meath? In regard to Moycullen, inspect them to win by a large margin also, in fact I'd expect them to win the All Ireland this year. They are already stronger than quite a few senior clubs in this county.

Hard luck to Kil/Clon today. Another classic. Nothing between the two teams. Well done to Moycullen, another huge win as would be expected. As for the Galway U21s, the less said about that performance and result today the better. Are they even training? Unbelievable stuff. alanalan (UK) - Posts: 192 - 05/11/2017 16:08:22 2060604 Link 0 |
