All Ireland "Minor"
Ce weekend, en parallèle des deux dernières finales dans le Connacht et l'Ulster, se tenaient les finales du tournoi minor, la dernière catégorie de jeunes avant le niveau senior, et dont la finale tient lieu de levé de rideau de la grande finale du All Ireland le troisième dimanche de septembre.
L'an passé, dans une finale 100% Leinster , Dublin l'avait emporté devant Meath (0-14/1-5).
A l'exception du Leinster justement, ou Kildare l'a emporté, le palmarès est identique à celui des seniors, à savoir Kerry, Monaghan (pour la première fois depuis 68 ans) et Mayo vainqueurs de leurs provinces respectives.
Les quarts de finale auront lieu le même weekend que ceux du tournoi des "grands" (du 3 au 5 aout).
Les quatre champions seront opposés aux quatre finalistes des autres provinces.
Mayo-Westmeath
Monaghan-Tipperary
Kildare-Roscommon
Kerry-Tyrone
Les XV du weekend
 |
| Kieran Hugues (Monaghan), meilleur joueur de la semaine |
1. Eoin Culliton (Laois )
malgré deux buts encaissés, ses deux sauvetages de grande classe ont largement contribué à la qualification de son comté face à Wexford
2. Donal O'Neill (Wexford)
Il a tenu de près Jamie Clarke (Armagh) et a privé de positions de but celui qui est pourtant l'un des "goleador" les plus redoutables du pays.3. Drew Wylie (Monaghan)
si Colm McFadden est passé au travers de son match dimanche, l'arrière droit de Ballybay en est largement responsable
4. Colin Walshe (Monaghan)
Autant sur ce match ou il a tenu McBrearty à la perfection, le réduisant à l'état de fantôme, que pour sa saison exemplaire jusqu'à maintenant, il mérite sa nomination dans le XV de la semaine
5. Vinny Corey (Monaghan)
étrangement laissé de côté dans le XV de GAA.ie, impossible de ne pas le retenir au même titre que ces deux accolytes de la défense de Monaghan,
mettre Michael Murphy dans les cordes pendant 70 minutes pose son homme
6. Peter Harte (Tyrone)
même si il n'a pas touché beaucoup de ballons, il a stabilisé le navire lorsque Kildare est revenu en seconde période, et face au jeune et rapide Niall Kelly, il n'a pas flanché
7. Dessie Mone (Monaghan)
le bondissant demi-def gauche des farneys est mon coup de coeur de ce weekend, quelle volonté! impressionant de précision dans chacune de ces relances, trois poumons, et un point inspiré à un moment clé en deuxième mi-temps, co-homme du match avec Kieran Hugues
8. Darren Hugues (Monaghan)
élément clé du parcours de Monaghan dans ce championnat d'Ulster, aucune erreur de la première à la 70ème minute
9. Tom Flynn (Galway)
incarnation du rajeunissement imposé par Mulholland, il à balayé le front du milieu de terrain sans relachement, grand artisan du succès surprenant de Galway face à Armagh
10. Matty Donnelly (Tyrone)
Gros sang froid sur son but (décisif) , il a causé d'énormes dégats dans l'arrière garde de Kildare
11. Cillian O'Connor (Mayo)
sorti du banc après la pause pour son grand retour après une blessure à l'épaule fin mai, il fut le bonus de satisfaction pour les fans et le staff de Mayo avec 3 buts et 3 points face à Londres.
12. Colm Begley (Laois)
L'un des héros de la victoire de Laois avec Culliton et son pendant du milieu offensif (côté droit) Ross Munnelly , il a couvert un terrain incroyable et inscrit 3 points dont un à un moment clé en seconde période
13. Martin Reilly (Cavan)
dur de faire un choix entre lui et Martin (Galway), mais impossible de ne pas retenir un breffnis dans ce XV, dans l'ombre du trio d'attaque (Mackey, Keating, Dunne) il plante quatre points et tient un rôle majeur dans le succès des siens face à Derry
14. Kieran Hugues (Monaghan)
l'homme du match face à Donegal, et l'homme du weekend, il a mangé Eammon McGee tout cru, percutant en première période et monstrueux dans ce troisième quart du match durant lequel Monaghan a dégouté le champion en titre, son duo d'équilibriste avec McManus fut un authentique régal
15. Johnny Doyle (Kildare)
Il pourrait, comme Ronan Sweeney (qui vient d'annoncer sa retraite) avoir disputé son dernier match en inter-comté face à Tyrone samedi, il fut encore et comme souvent, le meilleur joueur de son équipe.
1. Eoin Culleton (Laois)
The O'Moore County netminder came to his side's rescue with a 'wonderful' save to deny Wexford's Paddy Byrne in the second half at Wexford Park.
2. Donal O'Neill (Galway)
Completely nullified the considerable threat of Jamie Clarke and kept the Armagh danger man scoreless for the 70 minutes in Pearse Stadium.
3. Drew Wylie (Monaghan)
Enjoyed a ding-dong tussle with Colm McFadden and the Monaghan man was successful in frustrating the All Star's best efforts.
4. Colin Walshe (Monaghan)
Walshe has been consistency personified for the Farney County so far this season and kept Paddy McBrearty quiet in Clones.
5. Vinny Corey (Monaghan)
Went toe-to-toe with Michael Murphy and had the Donegal captain on the ropes for much of the encounter.
6. Peter Harte (Tyrone)
Hand his hands full with the lively Niall Kelly but grew in prominence as the game progressed and was a key figure as the Red Hand County steadied the ship.
7. Dessie Mone (Monaghan)
Put the Farney County on the front foot throughout the Clones clash and sent over an inspirational point in the second half.
8. Tom Flynn (Galway)
The young Galway midfielder put in a tremendous shift for Alan Mulholland's charges as they pulled the rug from under Armagh in Pearse Stadium.
9. Darren Hughes (Monaghan)
Took the game to Donegal straight from the throw-in and was a major driving force behind the Farney County's first provincial success in 25 years.
10. Matthew Donnelly (Tyrone)
Displayed commendable composure to score the game's only goal in the 10th minute at Newbridge and caused plenty of headaches for the Kildare rearguard.
11. Cillian O'Connor (Mayo)
The sooner than expected return of 'Young Footballer of the Year' O'Connor from a shoulder injury was a welcome bonus for Mayo supporters and he underlined his worth with 3-3.
12. Colm Begley (Laois)
Covered acres of ground for Justin McNulty's charges against Wexford and popped up with three crucial points from play.
13. Martin Reilly (Cavan)
Emerged from the shadows of forward colleagues Martin Dunne, Cian Mackey and Eugene Keating to register four points from play and put down a large deposit on Cavan's qualifier win over Derry.
14. Kieran Hughes (Monaghan)
Was the go-to-man as Monaghan built on their three point half-time advantage during the third quarter and raised three white flags.
15. Johnny Doyle (Kildare)
May have played his last game in the white jersey but, not for the first time in his intercounty career, the veteran forward was the Lilywhites' best performer. - See more at: http://www.hoganstand.com/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=197167#sthash.ODrSQ4Kq.dpuf
