Replying To Viking66:  "We have had to spend significantly on Wexford Park, Patrick's Park and Ferns, in order to get the grants available afaik."
But isn't that one-off spending? Looked it up there and the County Board seemed to make a little profit either last year or 2024 (As they should, can't go spending money they don't have) but leaving aside one-off expenditure, if these counties are spending more on coaching on a per capita basis, are we spending more on other stuff compared to them or are they just out-spending us everywhere? And if they're out-spending us everywhere, how much more revenue are they making compared to us?

Leinster Minor might have been one that got away from us tbh, fair play to Galway as they were at least 10 points down with about 15 minutes to play and came back to win by one in extra time

Other than our game against Galway where we didn't turn up, the biggest winning margin in any game between us, KK, Dublin, and Galway was 3 points so not much between anyone

Hope the Minors bounce back on Saturday and show that the Galway game was just a one-off

Think both Enniscorthy CBS and Good Counsel beat Kieran's at Junior level and read somewhere else that this Wexford side had generally beaten KK all the way up, obviously they were pretty much already qualified when we played them so have to be careful when using that game as evidence but still hope that this Minor side can show themselves to be a good side
