Think the four teams that will progress tot he semi's will be Cork, Tyrone and Longford and Galway to shade it. Tyrone and Cork would be a mouthwatering AI final. Tyrone backboned by 2008 and 2010 minor success and Cork backboned by Walsh, Sheahan and a very good UCC sigerson winning team. Promises to be a cracker.

Tyrone havent reached theor provincial final yet and have to play Monaghan next Wed far from a foregone conclusion. ochonlir (Cavan) - Posts: 4343 - 31/03/2011 11:47:51 899834 Link 0 |
I think Kerry would have to be favourites against Cork,hammered them last year,and they have James O Donaghue,Paul Geaney,Barry John Walsh,Barry John Keane & Jonathan Lynne from the senior panel,they have 3 off the UCC Sigerson Cup winning team(Casey,Crowley & O Brien),so overall,they have a more experienced side than Cork.saw Galway beat Kerry in a challenge match last month,looked very strong,good forwards&strangely enough for a Galway team,a good midfield.~PHS Pope_has_spoken (Dublin) - Posts: 138 - 31/03/2011 12:40:03 899910 Link 0 |
Previous minor success is not necessairilr a prerequisite for 21s ochonlir (Cavan) - Posts: 4343 - 31/03/2011 12:41:12 899913 Link 0 |
I'd agree with the Pope_has_spoken and make Kerry marginal favourites against Cork. eviemonkey (Cork) - Posts: 308 - 31/03/2011 13:11:55 899952 Link 0 |
I'd make cork slight favourites against kerry. Aidan walsh in midfield will swing it imo. Kerry however have some outstanding footballers throughout the pitch and if we are to win then crowley,lyne,bjk,bjw,the walshes and geaney will be massive. I believe the winners will win the AI mikeoc (Kerry) - Posts: 567 - 31/03/2011 13:29:49 899981 Link 0 |
Great point made about the inexperience of the Cork backs.Last years Cork minor team played unreal football,put up huge scores but conceded a massive amount too.I think they'll win midfield as they usually do,but even if Cork dominate possession,I think the fact that Kerry have the more clinical set of forwards will swing it.~PHS Pope_has_spoken (Dublin) - Posts: 138 - 31/03/2011 14:39:06 900076 Link 0 |
I'd have to pick tyrone to win ulster they will be battled hardened and for team spirit it will be a massive boost... Tyrone played monaghan in the group stages of the shamrock cup and monaghan won, but the same teams played in the final and tyrone ran out easy winners. Monaghan have some very good players but a lot of passengers aswel. Cavan are waiting in the wings. 3 wk rest could be counter preductive for cavan. should be a good final who ever is there but logic tells of a tyrone win. shaggylegend (Monaghan) - Posts: 1948 - 31/03/2011 16:06:35 900169 Link 0 |

I have high hopes for the tyrone team, they have serious talent and pedigree and the u21s has become more and more important... HokeyPokey (Tyrone) - Posts: 1744 - 31/03/2011 18:50:55 900329 Link 0 |

Maybe at senor level but undertage football in connacht is strong. Mayo got to 2 AI minor finals in a row yet the u21s lost to Roscommon who won the AI minor in 2006 and have also a decent underage structure regularly competing in connacht finals and AI QF. Roscommon who tho losing by 8 points to dub last year outplayed dublin for 40 mins but could not score so that score was misleading were defeated by a galway side who won the AI minor final in 2007. Underage football in Connacht is on a par with munster and leinster IMO. Rosfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 778 - 03/04/2011 21:23:59 902406 Link 0 |
