Leinster Minor Hurling Final

(Oldest Posts First)

Wow what an occasion, there must have been at 15k people at the game tonight! Great display from Offaly, some serious scores!
Hard luck to Laois, great to see counties making progress at underage like Laois and Offaly.

If Offaly can turn things around at underage like that in 10 years, then there is no reason in the world every other county could not do it.
Yes it might need outside coaches, yes it will cost money, but to me it is not right that a chap in Cavan or Sligo never gets the chance to hurl.
And I say that as a former Dublin club hurler.

Just takes people on the ground putting in effort.

2 years ago Offaly were in div 2 league and basically junior championship.

There was a coup and they basically got rid of the whole board. A lot of people around the county stood up and mucked in.
