Replying To BigSur: "Great to see Mark McHugh locked in for another season with same backroom team as this year. Jamie Gonoud doubling up as U20 manager who is going to be busy. U20 selectors are Kieran Martin, Dean McNicholas and Eoin Jordan. Mick Dillon continues as minor football manager. I heard last night that St Loman's conceded the U20 fixture with neighbours Mullingar Shamrocks." What was so wrong with the previous U20 management team? It just seems strange to me how there has been very little about their removal and how the new management team are so accepted. Did the last management team NOT work well with McHugh? The new management are all are new to such jobs yet we make out that they are going to work wonders? Meridian (Westmeath) - Posts: 737 - 10/09/2026 08:02:11 2693357 Link

Its a plan they have in place Martin over AIT Dean in with CBS Jordan in with the Marist I think they want to stop players falling through the cracks which is a good idea but it was very badly handled with Kenny, once CBS won the Hogan Cup this was probably inevitable especially when you had teachers involved with successful schools, Freshers A winners, they wnated them all over the U20 team think a good few people saw it coming TheWagonWheel-N91Y529 (Westmeath) - Posts: 22 - 10/09/2026 11:37:08 2693381 Link

There wasn't a whole lot wrong but I would think the CBS success probably got them excited due to the obvious link with that team. Unless the new management are provided with training facilities and S&C the same problems could occur. The 20s mostly had to travel last year for games due to unavailable pitches in the county.

It happens all the time. Greengrass1 (Westmeath) - Posts: 95 - 10/09/2026 11:58:06 2693388 Link
