U-21 Football

Just wanted to say congrats to Wexford and either Carlow or Kildare for reaching this years Leinster final.
Isn't it great to see the smaller counties breaking the traditional stronghold ?

Good to see that definitely. Donegal have beaten Monaghan and Armagh as well.

I know three provincial winners from last year have been knocked out namely Cork, Laois and Armagh. I can't remember who won it in Connaught. Was it Mayo? Are they still in it this year?

I heard somewhere that this was the first time in 9 years that Kerry had beaten Cork in u21 football. I was very surprised to hear that considering Kerrys pedigree.

Yeah very true, and well done to Sligo who knocked Galway out last Saturday!!

I could be wrong, I'm sure Cork and Kerry fans will correct me, might have been 4/5 years.

As far as I am aware Cork were either going for 5 or 6 in a row in the Munster Championship.
Not sure when Kerry beat Cork in the championship was but they definitely won it either 5 or 6 years ago.

So are Donegal a small county in the terms of Monaghan and Armagh?

I think 95 or 97 was our last Ulster U-21, so at underage level we have been underachieving to Armagh.

I wouldn't call Kildare as the OP said, a small county either!
