Better performance by the u20s tonight, were right in it right up until the end. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 18918 - 25/03/2026 21:05:26 2663200 Link 0 |

We were equal or better to all those teams last year with a full 15 up to the age. 7 months later we get well beaten with a completely different way younger team. I think there might be a bit of relevance in that. And to add the cherry on top we forgot there was new rules brought in which rewards attaching play.

Minors were not good last night. Don't know what type of game they were even attempting to try play. Tough on young lads when management set them up like that. Yellowhelmet (Australia) - Posts: 167 - 25/03/2026 21:38:13 2663208 Link 0 |

Well, seldom if ever was I ever happier to say I was wrong about something. As already said by somebody else, brave performance by the U20s tonight, and unlucky not to get something out of the game. Unfortunately would have to agree they gave the ball too easily a few times, and a couple of those turnovers led directly to Dublin scores. But overall, you'd have to be happy with how they did, and I genuinely wouldn't fear meeting Dublin again if our lads did happen to progress in the championship.

Next year the Footballers and Hurlers will be effectively in the same division. When you look at the football you realise how much higher the standard is in D2 relative to the overall standards. The other thing is that when you look at the games and the teams that we are up against in football and hurling, what are the more attractive ties. Looking back its crazy to think its only just over 17yrs since we almost made an All Ireland final - Mattie getting injured - who knows but it was a great Tyrone team and I am not sure the result would have been different, perhaps closer. It shows however that we really let ourselves down by living in D4 for too long, hopefully promotion will bring back belief to the game in the county as the GAA struggles in a lot of areas in the county and its Football that we can use to make inroads into those areas.

All the more impressive when you consider the good lads who are currently injured.

Irrespective as to how the game on Saturday pans out there are many positives to be taken from last Sundays game and our league performances in general. Magpie2 (Wexford) - Posts: 656 - 26/03/2026 09:13:50 2663265 Link 0 |
