Replying To Matchwatcher:  "Killeevan going well, in fairness. But Currin missing a few big players? Lorcan Kilpatrick is the one who makes them tick. Drumhowan looking strong. Doherty and Mc Elearney both played last night. Rockcorry are in transition at the minute. Small panel who had a good run a few years ago but injuries to main men since. Seans seem to be in the same boat. Junior table on site missing a few results. Drumhowan should be top with 11 points."
The Sarsfelds were missing 2 of their top men also last night. Drumhowan miles ahead of the rest.

No joy for the minors yesterday. Will the management team be kept? Thought it was a guaranteed all Ireland when they won the league..

They will be kept on for one reason only……….overall a disappointing year of underachievement.. as the old saying goes - leagues are for playing in and championships are for winning..

Like all minor teams, what's most important is that we get some potential players who can graduate to U20 and then senior. Some will embrace the lifestyle of county football, while for others it's just too much despite their talent. From what I've seen of the 2026 group there are 5 to 6 who have the potential to make the leap to county senior level but a lot of hurdles lie ahead of them to make that standard. This group had the talent at this level, but in in two crucial games , discipline let them down at key times :

red card V Donegal with 10 minutes to go
Black card v Louth when game was back to 1 point

Management I felt made some selection mistakes too and seemed unsure of what their best starting line up was.
