Replying To galway19: "Good run out for the minors in Athenry. There is a really nice balance to the forwards, all six of them can win their own ball and take a score. McCartaigh and Lohan look very good for u16s. Wexford very poor outside of O'Brien at full forward. Hopefully our lads can keep progressing and I think we can give Kilkenny another rattle in a Leinster final. Still Mikey Maher to come into the team soon as well." There was a poster complaining about U16s being on the panel a few weeks ago. It was a fact according to him that they weren't up to the required standard. Not only are Mac Cárthaigh and Lohan showing they're good enough, they're standing out. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2315 - 04/05/2025 00:03:12 2606553 Link

No problem if they're good enough which both are and are stand out players in their own grade but leave the other 4 on the panel in their own age group and bring 4 up from the celtic challenge. Makes sense to me as this is their minor year and let them enjoy the experience. Armchairreporter (Galway) - Posts: 101 - 05/05/2025 12:09:00 2606823 Link
Very important now that we did win that u20 game against Offaly and top the group because we now get to play Laois in semi final rather than Kilkenny. Serious win for Laois, albeit Wexford must be terrible. Management need to have managed the five week break better this year than last year and keep the lads heads' screwed on given they have already beaten Laois by 23 points in the group game. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 885 - 05/05/2025 15:20:10 2606866 Link
Did anyone see where a club contacted the maroon and white podcast presenter stating that it couldn't be released (in relation to Galway Vs Offaly) as the person on it was not permitted to talk about Galway hurling team??? BigBàsMan (Galway) - Posts: 124 - 05/05/2025 18:20:53 2606896 Link

We've been enjoying far too many 'minor experiences', and seeing those same squads collapse hopelessly at u20/u21 level. Pope_Benedict (Galway) - Posts: 4124 - 05/05/2025 22:11:56 2606951 Link
Replying To Pope_Benedict: "We've been enjoying far too many 'minor experiences', and seeing those same squads collapse hopelessly at u20/u21 level." I wonder would it be realistic for the Minor Manager to Manage the Minors and U20s?!? Maybe fortunes would change for the better. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2494 - 05/05/2025 23:45:00 2606967 Link

"Serious win for Laois, albeit Wexford must be terrible". Three years ago,in 2022 , Laois contested the Leinster minor final vs Offaly so it seems they've been consistent in transferring their level of performance and ability from the minor grade into U20. Suggests they are not a team to be taken lightly. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 2015 - 06/05/2025 01:32:13 2606973 Link

Complete joke, espicially when THAT club has had many plays on the pod before. Its a sillery slope if thats the rioute we're headed. The_DOC (Galway) - Posts: 765 - 06/05/2025 10:38:34 2607026 Link

What are we thinking about Saturdays game lads. Has the potential to be a season defining game for both teams. Afinestick96 (Wexford) - Posts: 571 - 07/05/2025 14:36:23 2607381 Link
Replying To Afinestick96: "What are we thinking about Saturdays game lads. Has the potential to be a season defining game for both teams." Well im telling you what im thinking theres going to be a massive game in us and if Galway can match it fair enough but i think Kilkenny showed how poor Galway are so for me its Wexfords day.

3.15pm on a Saturday in Salthill. Traffic will be a problem I expect! PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 2015 - 07/05/2025 21:02:23 2607465 Link
Replying To Tiger1: "Well im telling you what im thinking theres going to be a massive game in us and if Galway can match it fair enough but i think Kilkenny showed how poor Galway are so for me its Wexfords day." You could also say, Dublin showed how poor Wexford are. As a neutral, I wouldn't bet on this game. I'm looking forward to it. Big game for both sides.
