Nenagh won east u19 final against Clonmel last night 8-3.
Galbally beat Nenagh in 17s 3rd place playoff today
Garryowen beat Young Munster/Ennis 29-5 in north 19 semi today

How are Leinster/Connacht/Ulster leagues going?

Sligo beat Corinthians in the U17 League final today 17-0. Have to admit Sligo were the better team and deserved the victory but Corinthians didn't play well and were victims of some crap referring decisions

What do they play in while waiting for the other provinces to finish their comps and the all ireland to start. Munster final will not be until mid/late march so all ireland will not be until april.

In Leinster at U19 there are still alot of matches to be played so its hard to guess the final standings.
At U17 its fairly clear that the SemiFinalists will be Navan, Mullingar, Boyne and Wexford.

Lots of games still to be played in Munster. Pan Munster hasnt been drawn yet but going by the regional leagues Nenagh, Abbeyfeale, Garryowen, Cork Con, Sundays Well will be the strongest sides at 19s.
u17 level Waterpark are strong as are Old Crescent, Tralee, Kanturk and Crosshaven

OL ..you might know something on this...if a player has been on loan to a club in the north munster league can he go on loan to another for the pan/munster comp. as the first club is not contesting the pan/munster and it is a new competition...

Probably not considering the pan munster is a development on from the north munster comp. Best bet is that you get your youth officer to ask regional committee or provincial youths committee.
What age group are you on about? 17s/19s?

There is still a cup tournament but its also that these two teams are victims of their own success in that they are (with respect to the other teams) way ahead and some of the other teams have conceeded against both.

How is Connacht 19s league going?

Unfortunately, I don't have anyone playing at this level this year and have been too busy to stay up to date on whats happening at this age group

The U18 team playing St Michaels is this seasons intrepro side. It is a warm up for the interpro semi final.
The area U18 sides playing in DLSP today contain next years possible interpro players.

If my counting is right both these squads are made up of lads from 16 different clubs. That really is a credit to the work being done at underage level in clubs all over both provincies.I'm hoping to get to the Leinster v Ulster game on Sat.

Normally is that number of clubs represented every year. Is great to see especially clubs like youghal, kanturk that dont normally have huge numbers at representative level joining the clubs like waterpark, bruff, clonakilty, nenagh who regularly have players in provincial squads.
Interesting to see several of the munster squad down on that link above as playing with a different club than they were at the time of the intepros back in september and also a few new names in the squad

Back to the club game. Pan Munster draw will be made soon enough and should be interesting

Robbie Walsh for Waterpark seems to have been added to the squad. Ridiculous achievement if he did as he's a full two years underage. I can't see that being right though, any idea if that's a mistake?

Doubt its a mistake and if he is that young he must be a very good player. If he's good enough he is old enough.
Is he anything to Brian Walsh, number 8 who was a Munster youth 5/6 years ago and is currently playing with Bohs?

backgreen · 11-01-2013 11:02am

May have just been a poor year for the west in the u17 development games. There's normally at least 3/4 players from the west and in several years there has been 6/7 players from the west in the youths squad

Perhaps, but I know he's Adam Walsh who plays with Waterparks Seniors and Youths two years ago's brother. He is a cracking player. Yeah I think I heard it confirmed at the club today. He is a super talent but I'd say this is just blooding him for the future, get him involved with the squads

No but you can not sure how the draw was made considering you would have assumed Nenagh and Garryowen were number 1 seeds considering they both won their respective regionals leagues but that obviously wasnt the case

Yes i did.
Castleisland-Abbeyfeale and Tralee didnt play in the North Munster playoffs as they were just competing in the League to provide them with competitive games ahead of this pan munster competition
Castleisland won all their group games and then didnt compete in the playoffs

So wouldn't they be number one seeds? Bruff-Highfield-Kanturk looks like a good group. When will the fixtures be announced? CastleIsland would be some trek!

Who knows how the draw was made. They could have been number 1 seeds but considering their was only 3 regions, as such, and there is 4 groups so you dont know how the draw was made.
Personally group B is very strong. Nenagh, Garryowen both won their leagues and Bandon were munster finalists last season while Youghal are strong with the Dungarvan players who are playing with them.
Fixtures are available on munster website already. Castleisland will be a trek for 'park but thats just the luck of the draw

Dont know. Garryowen could potentially have a few bowen shield players from some of the limerick A schools which will boost them.
Clonakilty had some big wins in the south league including a 30+ win against Muskerry in the south quarter final
Not sure if any of the sides in ye're group had any interpro players on this years interpro sides but could have had some on the A schools squad like ye do with Isaac Daly.

Will O'Carroll get an academy contract with Munster? 3 other Tralee players made the initial Munster Youth squad. Don't know about Castleisland, etc if they had any in the initial squad.

Tralee had 3 Munster A schools players this season, the Tralee club website said they haven't had reps in that squad before.
