Replying To Clonbonnyrabbitt:  "I think Killoe are out of the under 21 now because of there two losses. Ballymahon/kenagh will beat western gaels and it will be a repeat of last years final. I was at our lads against clonguish and clonguish were very strong. They just have so many players who are playing senior football but ballymahon kenagh ran them very close in last years final so I would say that the final will still be a good game again"
Have Ballymahon/Kenagh lost many players from last year? I think Clonguish have a good amount of their team underage from last year......if not the full team.

Clonguish have 2 lads from last years starting 15 overage this year. Next year there will only be 1 overage from this years team. From talking to my mate from Killoe, he said when they were well beaten by Clonguish in first game they knew they wouldn't be no where near winning it, so rested most of their senior panel against Ballymahon/Kenagh for the Leinster game.

Almost all of both teams are underage again I think both teams may have lost two players but will both still be very strong.
A shame that the U21 A championship could only manage 4 teams really it takes the weight away from it

Perhaps.... however if there were 6 or 8 teams in the A championship, would there be a different name on the title??? Doubt it.

A lot of teams have obviously jumped out of the A championship as they know they won't win it.

The closest team to beating this Clonguish team at minor was a Colmcille/Dromard/Ballymore amalgamation and even then, they were beaten by 30 points in a minor final. They are not amalgamated at under 21. I don't know why Western Gaels are in the A. Maybe they had to seeing as they made the Minor A final this year. It's incredible though how big towns like Longford with Slashers and Granard are not in the A and that Ballymahon have to amalgamate to make a team.
