[QUOTE="JimmyBarrySmurph, post: 7214413, member: 36710"] With inter county minor at U17 and coming earlier in a player’s development (too early in my opinion) it’s less likely now that you’ll have fellas playing multiple years. Also, with development squads each year all the ways up along, boys are more ringfenced in to their own age bracket than they were before. In the past, a 3rd/4th year, 15/16 yr old, might have burst onto the scene, played a couple of brilliant games in Harty and in a blink of an eye he is on the Cork minor team and then for the following years. Also, in the past a 16 yr old might be doing it with the club adult team and that might get him noticed. That opportunity is gone too obviously. It’s also less likely that a guy coming from a good or certain gene pool will get the nod last minute when he is 2 years out from minor. The current system is fairer. I don’t think we will see again the 3 or 4 year Cork minors, maybe the odd 2 year minor. [/QUOTE]
