Other than the likes of Dublin in football and Tipperary in hurling, what teams will be successful 5 - 10 years from now in both codes? I'll make two wild predictions. Sligo will be in the Joe McDonagh and London will finally be competitive in football. Hawkeye9212 (Donegal) - Posts: 266 - 14/08/2019 00:29:58 2225360 Link 0 |
I think this Cork U20 football team is savage and may actually bring an element of competition to the MSFC in a couple of years time. If these lads can transition to senior level, and more fail than succeed, then we could be looking at a cracking Cork team emerging over the next few years. They seem to have the perfect balance of power (overpowered Dublin in the semi), athleticism and skill. They also have a nice feeder team building in the form of their minors.

I can see kerry (obvious choice really) being really strong in 2024 with Sean o se and Clifford hitting peak years and with the underage success at minor also being a good age profile they will be strong pidge (Cork) - Posts: 543 - 14/08/2019 18:27:12 2225743 Link 0 |

Afraid we could watch that space for the next century and there wouldn't be anything to see.

Is that tier 2 football your talking about?

I wouldn't be too sure about that. They have been too reliant on permit players but the county board has finally decided to take the right approach and develop homegrown players.

It is very hard to gauge the future, players develop differently and counties develop teams differently. Laois are in the Adam Mangan Final on Saturday id be interested to see do we get a good minor team out of that in the next couple of years.

London have played in as many provincial finals as Kildare this decade.

In 5 years I think Dublin will be red hot favourites and Cork will be the second best. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 15/08/2019 16:19:01 2226062 Link 10 |
kerry will get even better in the coming years, cork could be the team of the future, kildare have the players and now have the manager, westmeath and laois are also improving but the question is how much scope is there for either, galway should be doing better to, donegal will get better as will armagh, my super 8 next year, kerry,cork kildare dublin, donegal,armagh,galway and mayo [maybe] Stmunnsriver (Wexford) - Posts: 2841 - 15/08/2019 16:36:37 2226071 Link 0 |

I can see Cork doing well in 2-3 years. Some very natural minors yesterday. johnterry (Galway) - Posts: 582 - 02/09/2019 20:46:37 2232086 Link 0 |
