For whatever the reason Sligo U20s weren't any where near as good defensively this year. 2023 won Connacht and reached the All Ireland final and the strength was holding teams to low scores. A total conceded in 4 games was 2-39 against Roscommon,Mayo,Galway and Kerry. This year in five games 3-71 conceded.

Replying To eoinog:  "You can only go to the well so many times. Our U.20 team didn't have a good year but rather than dwel on the shortcomings this year we should look back at the last few years with immense pride. There are loads of players in the county now with one , two and three Connacht medals, a few with individual accolades of getting named on teams of the year and some lads have made the transition to the senior set up. Things are looking good. Maybe some posters on here might come down a peg or two after their stupid posts about this team before a ball was kicked in the championship. I would like to see Paul Henry stay for a third year with the U.20 team."
Will be interesting to track the record of those players over the next few years, Lavin, Keaney, Mulligan, O Boyle, Sloyan and O'Boyle

Next year who are still u20 from off the top of my head, Niland, Conor Walsh, Rooney, Dillon Walsh, ROKL, O Hehir and O Callaghan. There is probably more but that's a solid start especially with some very good u17s stepping up so we will be competitive.

It will be interesting to see who commits to the seniors next year from this years group and how they integrate, Johnstone, Sloyan, McDaniel, Doherty, Donlon etc.. all stepping up.
