Kerry minors were lucky v Cork because Cork players kept fouling Kerry players going down on the ball. I never saw a team being so poor at it constantly. Its swings and roundabouts regarding the ref, but don't give the ref the chance the influence the game, the minors tonight didn't.

Kerry boss wants clarity on All-Ireland minor championship

Kerry boss wants clarity on All-Ireland minor championship
TUE, 22 DEC, 2020 - 21:48 EOGHAN CORMICAN
Kerry minor manager James Costello has called on the GAA to state their intentions regarding the playing of the 2020 All-Ireland MFC.
The All-Ireland minor football semi-finals are fixed for the weekend of January 16/17, with the final scheduled for a week later on the weekend of January 23/24, but with underage inter-county competitions not permitted under level 5 restrictions, there is uncertainty as to whether the 2020 All-Ireland MFC will be completed or if Croke Park will pull the plug on the semi-final and final games.
Costello would like a commitment given to finish the competition, the same as has been given to the outstanding 2020 county finals.
“I just said to the lads, it is wait and see. It doesn’t look good. I would like to give credit to the Munster Council for getting the Munster championship played off before Christmas. It would be great now if the GAA came out and said they have an intention to finish the competition. If they said we intend to finish it, it just gives the lads something to hang onto, whether it is January or February,” said Costello.
“To have 40 people around the county who are obeying all the laws, I think it would be a great signal for the GAA to get behind these lads and finish it out.
“We’ll keep them going as long as there is a bit of hope and if we get a nod at all, these lads, they don’t want to stop. We’ll see what evolves in the next few days.
We still retain hope. It is only a couple of games to finish it. It would be great if we could. Costello picked out their second goal as crucial in delivering the county an eighth consecutive Munster minor crown.
“There was a lot of very clever men got into a room eight or nine years ago, Jack O’Connor, Pat O’Shea, Eamon Whelan, Donal Daly. They set a vision for Kerry football and it has laid a great path for us.”
Clare manager Dermot Coughlan, who also pointed to Kerry’s second goal as a key turning point, said Clare must increase their focus on strength and conditioning at development squad level if they are to close the gap to Kerry.
“I wouldn’t be worried about our football. I just think we need to be on a strength and conditioning programme from about 13 years of age. I’d love to see the programme the Kerry players were on since they were 13. They were big men, very conditioned.”

Cannot understand why James Costelloe is calling on the GAA to clarify the minor situation. The GAA are at the mercy of the medical experts , if experts they be.

The Clare manager seems to think Kerry Development squads are doing resistance training which causes hypertrophic adaptation in the article post by Mickmack . He mentioned he would focus on strength and conditioning over football between age 11-17. Two things that should be focused on at such a young age is developing the skills of the sport you want to be good at and doing resistance training before peak weight/height leads to a much higher risk of stress fracture leading to high injury incidence at a later stage of the players career.

The welfare of us all depends on our collective consideration and which is the sum of what we do and which is simple - minimise contact until we are vaccinated. While the internet distances us, i.e. the more connected we are the less sociable life becomes, it also puts us in touch with people we otherwise mightn't meet, the Mandads and Vets of this world. And for that, I for one, I am so grateful.

Talking of young buckos and old soldiers, Killarney's 107 year old Michael O’Connor in Kerry's Eye heartily recalls being dressed in a crisp white uniform and sampling champagne in the Caribbean during a break on war duty, 'a far cry from drawing turf out of a bog with a small black donkey’ he reminisced.
Couldn't bate that with a big sthick Michael.
I recall a fella at a house warming, fhiskey in hand, remarking that the last time he was in that corner of the field he was also taking in liquid - oh how things never change.

Couldn't bate that with a big sthick Michael. I recall a fella at a house warming, fhiskey in hand, remarking that the last time he was in that corner of the field he was also taking in liquid - oh how things never change. The story of Daniel Buckley from Ballydesmond would take a big sthick Bally. He joined the Titanic at Cobh as young lad to seek his fortune in America. Back then Ballydesmond was known as Kingswilliamstown. Before he left he wrote a great song called 'Sweet Kingwilliamstown in homage to his homeland. When the iceberg struck a woman threw a shawl over him and he got into lifeboats with the women and children and was saved. He was treated as a coward in America when the story came out and he was in disgrace. He joined the US army and fought in the First World war. He was the last US solder killed on the last day of the war. Muireann does a great job of it below So stay safe everyone. As Shane McGowan said; I can see a better time When all our dreams come true

Regrettably, the GAA has been informed that under the new Level 5 restrictions, inter-county minor games are not allowed after 27th Dec., so the Leinster MFC & MHC finals are postponed.
Connacht Final between Sligo and Roscommon will go ahead on new date of St Stephen's Day.
The GAA intends to play the games at the first available opportunity.

The Connaught Final was played in absolutely appalling conditions and I would read absolutely nothing into it. Of much more significance is their convincing defeat of a fancied Galway side in the semi-final. I didn't see it, so I can't judge, but it would imply that they are s good side. I find that the change to U17, when most aren't making post primary senior teams or playing senior at club level (not allowed), makes it very hard to read minor opposition. Knock-out adds to that - previous. Connaught teams would have played a lot of games in the round robin format long before they met Kerry.

I guess the 2020 minor championship is back on track with this news: www.irishexaminer.com/sport/gaa/arid-40282058.htmlIt would probably make more sense for the 2021 minors to resume first as none of them are doing their Leaving Cert while some of the 2020 minors are. It'll be tough on those who are on both teams.

Should the Kerry get past Roscommon, they would play the final the following Saturday or Sunday. There are a couple of things here that minor management must be conscious of. Firstly, some provinces have games to play before they play an AISF. This will give them a good build up. Kerry and Roscommon don't but Kerry must get tough games under their belt before the SF so that if they advance they are as prepared as any other for the final. Secondly, it seems very likely that Kerry will have 2 different teams involved in 2 different minor championships that will be played this year. There will be a few players involved in both. Again management must be proactive about dealing with this. It would be nice to win 2 more in one year.

It’s hard to remember the last outings from this minor team. The one thing that stands out in my mind was a very strong half back line. Hopefully they haven’t lost any players and give a good account of themselves.
