Clean Ireland Recycling County Under 21 A Hurling Final Result - Loughmore-Castleiney 1-8 Kildangan 0-10

Was at it. Thought Kildangan were the better team, unlucky to lose

Who is the likely keeper for the footballers likely to be in the league (and the championship) ?

Thinking of throwing some money on the footballers for promotion but I'd be worried about what the options are like as regards your keeper. I think it will be between yourself and Clare for the 2nd promotion spot [can't see Armagh not going up with their squad]

From what I saw of Tipp last year Fitzgerald's time was definitely up but if he was being picked on merit I'd have concerns about the quality of the understudy.

Any insights on offer?

evolving tipperary

What performances stood out?

chunkylover95

For Loughmore John Meagher was very strong at centre back, looking forward to see him play county. Bill O Connell was good too at midfield just out of minor. Kildangans best was Alan Flynn at full back did a serious job on both McGraths, was a good game especially for this time of year.

evolving tipperary

Was Jack Loughnane or Tadhg Gallagher playing?

chunkylover95

ya both had fine games, loughnane was midfield gallagher in the half forwards

I would be expecting good things from the Tipp U/21 team this year,they weren't far off Clare last year and a lot of that team is still under age.

evolving tipperary

Isn't a lot of that Clare and Wexford teams back again?

Colin Nugent , Ardfinnan ( same Football Club as Brendan Cummins , hopefully a good omen ) is the new #1 , Inexperienced at this level but is decent . Evan Comerford ( Kilsheelan ) , Minor All Ireland winner is the reserve ! Matthew O`Donnell ( Killenaule ) was understudy to Fitzgerald but had a disaster v Wicklow last year in the League conceding 3 Goals in added time in what was our only defeat in the League , he got a rare chance and blew it !
Armagh should go up , really looking forward to playing them on Sunday in Crossmaglen , unfortunately can`t go . We have really good forwards , so I`m confident we will go up with them .

Interesting that its done over 4 evenings. Wonder what level that qualifies you to referee at and how do they assess what level you can referee and move between grades...

Wouldn't do it as do enough refereeing in other sports and don't like how referees are treated/respected in hurling/GAA.

evolving tipperary

Well, it says its a foundation course....so I'd doubt it qualifies anyone for very much - maybe an introduction that might lead to a better course...

How does referee respect contrast in GAA?

evolving tipperary

Jason Ford and Tony Kelly at midfield - not bad!!!

chunkylover95

Think UL have what it takes to go all the way in that. From yesterdays starting 15 there were 6 tipp players starting which is fairl good : maher in goals, forde, john mcgrath, brian stapleton as well as daire quinn and tommy heffernan from nenagh
