There's nothing else going on in Mayo tbf. Coverage around the football team reaches suffocation levels. It's no harm that Galway keep some of this behind closed doors.

Replying To Galwaymaster9:  "In fairness it was a third choice selection..
Mayo looked for the game and are pushing hard already, Galway had to scrape a team together to keep them happy.."
Not even 3rd choice I think.
Conal Gallagher, Ryan Roche and Dara Heneghan are three names I heard who featured.

Seriously has PJ and Morris and whats his name from Cavan lost the plot. Just saw the team. When you bring in development players they need to be some sort of threat to the current players. Its like they dont want a threat against the established 20. I saw some of these players play this year and no disrespect they are journey men players at best with their club. Reddington, Roche being the exception. Were these lads leaders on their club team? 3 JImmies, 2 Monivea, 1 michaels, 2 Claregalway. 2 litir mor, If my memory serves me well Monivea and Bearna were in relegation and St Michaels were relegated after first loosing to an Annaghdown team who hobbled through this year with all their injuries. And yet there are 6 from those team. I am sure Annaghdown are annoyed they dont have 2 players either :-) Where is everyone else for the next layer of clubs. We had a bad year as well we have 2.

I saw the team but can't find it now. Was basically a mix of a 3rd and 4th choice selection.

I heard Minor Trials have been on for the last few weeks. Any news on these? Did see the U20's management announced a while ago but didn't see the 17's set up. Any news on who is with them.

The manager is Cosmos Gilmore - who was the u16 manager this year.
Didn't hear the makeup of the backroom team.
I imagine a lot of the u16 backroom team will be involved again.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "No test for Moycullen at all today sets up a intriguing final in the Hyde in two weeks."
Moycullen were down 1-1 to no score faster than you could sneeze, yet no panic at all. Should be a classic final. Brigids are no joke either.
