Well done to Brosna. Well deserved win and good to see them make the return to Senior straight away. Serious work been done down in the clubs of Ballycumber, Tubber, and Erin rovers. There appears to be a big interest in hurling over there and the hard work is paying off.
As for the final, in fairness the conditions were not what you want to see. Especially for finals which are suppose to be the big game of every championship, you would hope that there would be perfect playing conditions. I hope the GAA really look at restructuring the whole thing. Its a shame that big games are played in such unplayable conditions.
Brosna handled the conditions better and their free taking was probably the real difference in gaining that edge.
St Rynaghs were a bit disappointing. I thought they had a number of better hurlers playing in the junior game.
The big worry for me is that a number of county minors are struggling to make their clubs top panels. I know Coolderry had a county minor only hurling junior and i think there was a few county minors playing for St Rynaghs at the weekend. These lads should be at least making the bench for their senior teams and playing some part. Is the county underage that bad that the best players the county has at minor level are only capable of hurling on their clubs second string teams and not even standing out at the lower grade. It is worrying for the county.
