[QUOTE="DougMM, post: 7253595, member: 44076"] There were definitely valid questions about the coaching at U20 level this year but I thought the minors looked exceptionally well coached. They won the majority of their kickouts despite being the smaller team, which is a rare occurrence at any level for a Cork intercounty football team in the last 15 years. They also moved the ball quickly, scored great points from distance, created multiple goal scoring opportunities and defended well. You could make the argument that we started losing the game when the play got more individualistic in the second half or that they fatigued. Overall, this is probably the strongest and most talented minor team we’ve had since Corbett’s lot 4 years ago. The one area they’ve struggled compared to the Corbett team was the level of impact off the bench. You’d hope Coakley, Sheedy, Clifford and Culliahane, and most of the back line will feature for the 20s next year. I’d like to see that coaching team move onto the 20s at some stage as well as I’m not sure I’ve seen a Cork team look better prepared at kick-out time. I know they were unlucky with that crucial last kick-out but it’s better they learn from that now at this level than go for long 50-50 kicks any time the pressure comes on and develop that bad habit now.
