    Is Derek McGrath the manager of Laois minors this year it is it just a “consultation” role again?

    Was meant to be doing some coaching sessions with them but I'd say greatly curtailed due to Covid.

    Some hammering they got all the same

    The minor and under 20s are straight knockout are they?

    Waterford under 20s playing the winner of tomorrow's Tipp vs Clare QF

    Really hope they get elite sports an exception in tomorrow's new restrictions. It would lift a bit of doom and gloom

    There was a lot of hype about Laois minors this year, hence why they went out all out to get Derek involved. Will be hugely disappointing to ship that beating off Offaly

    We need to get used to games in this weather now. Cold, wind and rain will be a perfect platform for a fast skills based game.

    So we Tipp in Fraher Field next Monday in the U20 Munster semi final.

    Tipp looked good in second half tonight, not sure how good our team is, but its going to be a big test next week.

    No doubt a tough test for us

    After last years hammering didn't the Waterford under 20 manager say this was a 2 year project ?

    Whatever happened to Clare in the second half? They played some brilliant hurling in the first half. I expected Tipp to come back strong in the second half and win the game, but Clare couldn't do a thing right after half time. Their touch deserted them and their decision-making went to hell. It was so instant and so complete that it couldn't just be fitness and conditioning. Maybe something was put in their water bottles in the second quarter. Tipp are good hurlers and physically strong. They weren't switched on in the first half but I expect they will have learned their lesson, and will be a tough proposition next week. Waterford will have to be up for the occasion and the physical challenge.

    It's just great to have this match to look forward to, Bank Holiday Monday at 3:15 on TG4. Wouldn't be expecting Waterford to beat Tipp but hopefully will be competitive. I don't think there's any under 20 player on the senior panel which would indicate that we wouldn't be strong but I felt the last 2 years, our minor teams were unlucky and could have progressed from the group with a bit more composure in games coming down the home straight.
    As I said though, just great to have GAA to look forward to!

    Three years ago at u-14 Laois beat Offaly by 52 points, that is some turn around :eek:

    Its a weird one this year because these are the lads that should have been last year minor in 2018 but got done by the change in the grades. So they didn't get a chance to play at their age at minor

    yeah it's a strange one alright. I don't think I can think of a Waterford underage team before that I have known so little about, obviously we would know a lot of the players from playing with their clubs, but no form line back to minor for this team.

    the Clare game will likely stand to tipp and it hasn't helped our preparations that challenge matches in recent weeks had to be cancelled due to restrictions. More hope than expectation but hopefully they perform well next week.

    You'd imagine a lot of likely starters on that team with Conor Gleeson & Neil Montgomery injured or carrying knocks.

    Possibly Iarlaith Daly or Conor Gleeson could force their way into the backline & Montgomery, Jack Prendergast & Patrick Curran pushing to make the forward line but I wouldn't imagine huge changes to that forward line either.

    Barron & Lyons are an exciting midfield partnership. Lyons is so versatile & good under the high ball that he would be an asset to any line of the pitch but against Fitzgibbon/Coleman/Cooper, I'd fancy the 2 lads to do well & both can contribute to the scoreboard & work equally as hard going back the field.

    Hard to imagine Mahony playing & staying in the full forward line. Might play slightly further out than the 2 others inside to try & play off breaks & pick off passes from those around him to get scores. A freetaker in these winterish conditions will be key so let's hope it's only a knock he has picked up.

    Cannot wait for next Saturday week now!

    yeah something to look forward too after all the doom and gloom the last few days. Jesus we really need a big man or 2 in the forward line esp in the weather for this championship. A win in the Munster semi final is so important as it gives us at least an All Ireland QF and away from the qualifiers which will be extremely tricky. Cant wait for the championships

    Regardng under age i would like us too be very competitive and not get hammerings like previous years. Under 20s in action next monday vs Tipperary with the minors also facing Tipp in the munster semi final on the 30th Oct

    Huge blow alright and wish Pauric a speedy recovery, who'll be on frees now? Would have to think Curran?

    Curran may not start, Stephen Bennett may be more likely?

    I'll prefix this by saying I wouldn't play Austin in the forwards. However if that's where he is played then I'd give him the frees. He's at his best the more involved he is and the frees would be another way of getting him involved and his confidence up. I'm not sure any other player in the county could turn a game like he did against De La Salle and for us to do well then he needs to fire.

    I note he was down as number 11 last weekend but Cahill seems to like to play a two man full forward line and a drop a player back each line so Austin may well have operated deeper than centre forward.
