Huge amount of fellas in there last year unavailable through injury, schools football a big step up to u-20, as a county we need everyone avilable those mentioned above are all nailed on starters and have played a full year of adult football last year. two other lads who opted out were byrne and maloney who i think would add something to the team, and then the other admision would be Henson for Garrycastle. The annoying thing about it theres a quality team there there without 7-9 players who i feel would make a massive difference and are better stronger players than those who played last week. nadunta2025 (Westmeath) - Posts: 28 - 30/03/2026 08:28:37 2663899 Link 0 |

Good point, not letting lads play Adult football until they are over 18 is another factor to the dreadful performances of the County U20 team. It is beyond belief that they have not been doing any gym sessions as a group. What has been learned from last year? Sent out like lambs to the slaughter again.

it was disappointing. With lads from Marist and CBS on that team, a few from Moate who've all played Schools Leinster and All-Ireland finals, and a couple from AIT after winning a Freshers All-Ireland, along with a strong Shamrocks and Tubberclair group, I genuinely thought it was one of the best U20 sides we've had in years. I know they probably didn't get much time training together, but the physical side was very noticeable - same as against Meath last year. McFadden even said it after the league final: ''the game now is nearly all about kick-outs and having big men, and that's something we thankfully have plenty of.''

Maloney had a leg brace on last Monday when himself,Ty and Micky Weir were on the iarmhi podcast 10 with the management team. He didn't play on Friday as the Board wouldn't pay for a Dunnes Store plastic bag to wrap around it to keep it dry (other supermarket plastic bags are also availablle FACT ExiledCuCu (Cavan) - Posts: 287 - 30/03/2026 19:21:50 2664018 Link 0 |
