Hard luck to Kerry minors, a tough one to take. I think Derry were quicker to make changes. Some great football played by our lads, kacpar outstanding in goal. Ye did Kerry proud.

Hard luck to the lads. Sargent's free kicks were the difference. If a senior player kicked some of them he'd deserve some praise.
We possibly went short too often on kick outs and lacked the long ball outlet. Things didn't go well for Carroll and you'd feel sorry for a young lad. As their manager said it's about progressing players.

Hard luck to the Kerry minors. Played some great football all year and in the first half. Derry upped the tempo in the 2nd half and Kerry weren't able to match them. Kerry's last 2 games being over at halftime was poor preparation for a 2nd half dogfight in a tight game today.
Can't fault anyone for having an off day. That's part and parcel of being 15, 16 or 17 years old.

Fortunate to be within two points at finish. Derry created multiple goal chances. Wiped out at midfield, particularly in second half.

Hard luck everyone involved, gave it a mighty effort, had our chances for sure, maybe we needed to use the bench a bit earlier.

Sounds like football won out, There wasn't a whole lot wrong with the way Kerry played. They were just beaten by the better team on the day. I was just reading that it was Derry's 13th competitive match this year, because of the Ulster minor league and the way Ulster championship is run off. It was only Kerry's 5th competitive match, and none of those were close enough to prepare them for Derry.

I’m hugely proud of this Kerry minor team and management involved who represented Kerry in the best possible way in 2024. This Kerry minor side had real courage and personality!
They are highly skillful and played a lovely brand of football. Their game intelligence and cohesion was hugely impressive, so clubs, coaches, mentors, parents and all involved take a bow.
Congratulations to the Derry minor team who had many proven champions from last season involved and it told, and good luck in the final. Derry were on the day, a more experienced and stronger outfit but our young Kerry minors pushed them all the way. I’ve really enjoyed watching this Kerry minor team and I only hope we see many of them in the future wearing the green and gold again.

Derry vs Armagh should be a great game. Two very impressive teams.

Derry's performance in the final not too dissimilar to their performance v Kerry - were the weaker team in the 1st half but then James Sargent took the game by the scruff of the neck in the second half giving them the platform for victory, aided by the opposition going long with the kickouts.

Unfortunately Anton Tohill is not a county footballer, despite being in Oz. God I wish Shane McGuigan was playing off Callum brown though. Don't think it will ever happen as Brown will make a full career for himself out there.
Sargent is the real deal. Similar to McEvoy I can see him stepping up to senior straight after minors.

I remember Callum Brown coming on in the minor final where Clifford got 4-4. The game was well over at that stage but he looked very impressive, a bit unorthodox but a serious athlete.
It's a shame that we lose lads like that to the game. The more lads like him from different backgrounds the better.

Maybe wasn't fully fit? - he was sub in the semi-final as well. Certainly caused us bother when he came on but really it was too late for Derry at that stage. Taken down for a penalty with 3 or 4 Kerry lads hanging off him, like Ginger McLoughlin going in for the try. Strong man.

Lot of high scores last night in the club championship, some one sided and some surprises. Does anyone know why this competition was moved from September to the peek holiday season?
