The Mayo U20 football panel for this year’s Championship was announced this evening. It includes players from nineteen different clubs and the full list (of 36 players) is as follows:
Frank Irwin of Ballina Stephenites was confirmed yesterday as U20 captain for this year. His clubmate Dylan Thornton is vice-captain.
Maurice Sheridan’s team open their provincial campaign, in what’s an old-fashioned knockout Championship, against Galway on Wednesday 6th April at the Connacht GAA Centre of Excellence. That Connacht Championship quarter-final is set to throw in at Bekan that evening at 7pm.
Well done to all the lads who are included in the panel and the best of luck to them in the Championship.
No Donnacha McHugh ? Not released from senior panel or injured?
Is donnacha mchugh not u20 ?
Donnacha is U20 alright but his name isn’t on the list released this evening. I’m not sure what the story is there – he’s not included in the match day panel for tomorrow’s game either.
Where’s Owen McHale Belmullet
@Willie Joe . out of interest, where are Green and Red seat’s from?
They’re from Iniskeen, deep in Paddy Kavanagh country in lovely Monaghan. I snapped a pic of them when we last played there in the League, way back in 2011.
I wonder have they faded since???
@Willie Joe.. thanks for the information!
I’ve no idea, 2 hops, I haven’t been back there since.
Hopefully Sheridan starts playing a more expansive style. I know he won the Sigerson this year but the football he had the u20s playing last time round was awful to watch.
That game against Galway i thought was down to be played in Ballina ?
Presume the style of football is determined, or partly determined, by the players capabilities.
No Donnacha McHugh is troubling. Presume he will be released to play with under 20s. Although at this point he wont have trained with them
Very unfair on Donnacha if he not let play with u20s.
He is unlikely to see much championship action with the seniors this year..
Whats the story with Rurai Forde….Salthill?.
Must be a Mayo connection?
Noel forde, ex county chairman, is his dad.
What’s story with Ballina s Ciaran Boland good minor for 2years played well for Ballina last year champship
