All talk about manager, possible teams etc should be discussed here. The new age change should be interesting as should the possibilities for under 16 players to be brought up to the age grade.

Good thread, Peter Keane may well stay on, but Tommy Griffin looks set to take over. Sean O Sullivan is currently doing development work with the combined u16 kerry south and north teams from last year, but it seems like Grifffin may pip him. Both would be good options, but O Sullivan may be too closely linked with the Kerry South lads. Seems to be great talent out there for the years team. Any names floating around?

Looks to be a strong panel. Keith O'Leary should be involved as well in goals. Peter O'Sullivan from Legion could also be in the mix in the backs.

I agree very strong. Good players also. It will be a very hard panel to make. James McCarthy (Kenmare) Padraig Linnane (Austin Stacks) Gary Murphy (Keel) Fergal O Brien (St. Pat's Blennerville) are others.

I heard Monaghan are strong at the age? Not sure where the other two shouts came from. Where have you heard that?

Galway U16s easily beat Roscommon U16s 1-18 to 1-7 in the Ted Webb Cup this year. It's for Connacht teams. Looked impressive. Monaghan won the Gerry Reilly tournament beating Meath in the final. It's mostly for Leinster teams. They were semi finalists in the Buncrana Tournament. It's for Ulster teams. Tyrone beat Donegal in this years Competition. Tyrone will be strong also.

Its a case of the usual suspects in many ways.
In the past 16 years the following counties have made the QF stage more than 50% of the time. Kerry (15/16), Galway (10/16), Mayo (10/16), Roscommon (9/16), Cork/Tipp/Tyrone (8/16). These seem to be counties with good underage structures that produce decent teams on a regular basis.
Despite all the money/population & logistical advantage we attribute to their senior success, Dublin have a poor record at minor with only 6 QF appearances in 16 years with only 1 title in that time.
However they seem to really get their act together after minor with 6 U21 final appearances (5 wins) in the same period. Interestingly Cork and Galway who have 10 u21 final appearances (5 wins) between them have only won 1 minor all Ireland in those same years (and that was Galway).

Leaving home comforts to go away to college mitigates against some counties that dont have universities as regards bringing on young players quickly

Leaving home comforts to go away to college mitigates against some counties that dont have universities as regards bringing on young players quickly Methinks home supervision is also at play !!! But seriously I agree 100% - it is no coincidence that the three counties who have been in the final most often all have a university to keep the bulk of their players local. Perhaps the shift in the playing calendar will resolve this to some degree.

Cork should be doing a lot better at Senior when you consider they have had fairly strong u21 teams the last 5 or 6 years. Dublin on the other hand have made it count at u21 level. David Byrne Eric Lowndes John Small Jack McCaffrey Brian Fenton Niall Scully Paul Mannion Cormac Costello Ciaran Kilkenny all doing well at Senior level for them from their 2014 u21 winning team.
You already have Con O'Callaghan from this years team. Evan Comerford Cillian O'Shea Brian Howard and Colm Basquel will soon follow.

Paddy Small might make it too even though he didnt start for the u21s this year. Making waves for Ballymun in club championship. A younger brother of John.

Yea I agree good player. Dublin will be very hard to beat for the 5 in a row now because they have young players to come in to replace the older guys like when Cluxton and Brogan and Flynn etc retire they will have the young talent ready to come in.

Is there any date for the U17 final this season? Will it still be a curtain raiser for the senior final?

Minors start their preparations for next season tomorrow with 37 young hopefuls gathering in John Mitchels hoping to emulate their predecessors of the past 4 years. Best of luck to all!

With the change in age it means no continuity in the playing squad from last year - this had been a feature of recent squads with 9/10 squad members being available the following year. So makes PK re-appointment all the smarter - he and his team provide the continuity which I think has been very important in our run of success.
What impact if any will the New Master schedule have on the minor and u20 competitions - are their draws and fixtures sorted yet?

The only information I could find is in the Munster GAA Website, with Kerry set to play Clare in April.

That was the 2014 U16 Ted Webb final result. This years Ted Webb cup final was Galway 3-9 Roscommon 1-14 it was a game/cup Roscommon left behind them as Galway did a smash and grab by scoring 1-1 deep into injury time.

Not too sure where to post this, so here goes. Many kids born in 2000 seem to be getting royally done over in football this year. Not only have they lost the potential ability to play minor intercounty football next year, but it looks like they are also going to lose all U18 competition next year. IMHO this is a terrible decision that will disconnect these young fellas from the GAA. They are already feeling a strong sense of injustice over the intercounty decision, to take away the minor county championship is an even more bitter blow. Most are too young tho make headway in an U20 setup. My fear is that many talented young players will end up alienated.

Draw in Munster for next year was supposed to be tonight but it was deferred as there wasn't agreement on what sort of format the competition should take.

Any sign of agreement on the format for the Munster minor competition in 2018?
I presume two teams will still go forward from each province as in the past?

Same format as previous years. Unkind draw - if games go to plan a SF with Cork where the loser is gone for the year.
