Is this generation of youth, Junior and under-23 in Ireland. The best ever ???
are this crop really that good ??
will they progress to become profile athletes like Hession, O'Rourke, Gillick ...

Or not ?

Will our youth and junior stars turn out like some of Britains past Junior stars and fail to may the transition ???

What do you think ??

note the charter

Third party discussion of under age athletes is banned in order to avoid criticism of young athletes on a public forum or placing too much pressure on their shoulders. Discussion of major underage events (e.g. EYOF, World Juniors, etc) will be permitted but anything that the Moderator feels is inappropriate ["Joe Bloggs is crap and has no future in the sport" or "Josephine Bloggs will be a big dissapointment if she's not an Olympic Medallist in the future!!!"] may be removed". If you notice someone discussing underaged athletes, please use the report button to bring it to the moderator's attention.
