all the talk this year was about that Kerry side, where have the dubs been hiding this team, wasn't much talk about them, they look like a serious outfit to me

Well done to Dublin - a great all-round team performance. Galway found it difficult to deal with Dublin's pace. Galway full-back was the outstanding player on the pitch.

Feckin delighted and this pint tastes damn good

As I hoped our defence was rock solid for most of the match, we turned over some amount of ball, great team performance but fair play to Galway, got back into the game out of nowhere and made Dublin work for it.

Delighted!! Up the Dubs.... and down this Guinness goes with more to follow... Better start googling a B&B...

The galway full back is Séan Andy Ó Ceallaigh from Naomh Ánna Léitír Móir. Nice to see he is so memorable.

The Dubs worked Galway into the ground. They couldn't cope with their intensity and discipined tackling. Galway full back was great and the number 24 stood out for Dublin!

Delighted with the win, our lads played a great game. 2nd goal very sloppy to give away. But other than that no complaints.

Well done to the dubs today, best team by a mile. Fair play to the Galway lads, they should be v proud of their efforts.

Hard luck to Galway yesterday didn't get to see the game till late last night , unfortunately for Galway it panned out as I predicted on here during the week as Galway shot their load playing our Kerry team in the semifinal two weeks previous .
Galway didn't bring a quarter of the intensity in the game yesterday that they brought against our selves, but then again that had as much to do with us not being tuned in as anything else on the day.

Also like I said last week it can be bad to win a semifinal playing good football as it had happened our teams many times in the past, your better off coming in under the radar.

Anyway Galway have some great players on that u21 team hopefully a 5/6 of them will make it to the senior panel.

Well done to the Dubs. Thought Galway players never quite got going, which might have been a side effect of the high of the Kerry performance. Too many handling errors, some forced by the Dubs intensity but a lot not, plus kickouts very poor on the day. Dubs played like a well drilled unit and were well deserved winners. Best player on the pitch was Galway's fb, which contrasts with previous games when their forwards shone. Dubs 24 deserved motm though for great leadership when brought in.

Well done on a great win, congrats to Dessie Farrell and his management team its a difficult grade to be consistently successful with and he has done this. Hard luck to Galway great to see them playing a high quality brand of football bodes well for their championship. Entertaining game underage always delivers in that regard.

Serious performance from the Dubs yesterday. Galway went to play the final and the Dubs went to play Galway. Best team won on the day. Galway have to start become more opposition aware and not alway try to play total football all the time, that sometime you have to play horses for courses. They improved significantly when they brought on Eric Lee and Colin Brady who ran at the blacket. Management will have a few sleepless nights when they review the tactics, but the future is promising with the senior team going to benefit with a number of potential senior county footballers becoming available and a promising batch also in the minors.
