Boomcha inquired for the 2000 minor and U21 lineouts. Rather than hijack the Leinster Club hurling and football thread I’ll give this one of its own.

The team for the 2000 Leinster Minor Final was:-
Shane O’Connor;
Adrian Clancy, Daniel Minnock, Barry Teehan;
Enda Grimes, Joe Brady (capt.), Stephen Brown;
Eoghan Carroll, Neville Coughlan;
Brian Carroll, Ger Rafferty, Michael Cordial;
Kevin Kelly, Rory Hanniffy, Jason Larkin.
Subs were: Séamus McDonald, John Clendennen, Martin Corcoran, Kevin Cummins, Colin Dunne, Ger Gardiner, Andrew Hall, Austen Lynch, Brendan O’Meara.
Management was: Paddy Kirwan (manager), Alan Walsh and Frank Whelahan.

I recall Dylan Hayden was added to the panel for the All-Ireland semi-final against Galway.

Dublin, with much media fanfare beforehand, featured Gary Maguire, Liam Óg Ó hÉineacháin, Conal Keaney and David O’Callaghan. Much was expected of Shane O’Neill who scored 3-2 in their semi-final win over Wexford. His only meaningful contribution to the game was to get put off for a few bad strokes in the Offaly goalmouth.

The Galway Minor team who beat Offaly in the subsequent All-Ireland semi-final featured Tony Óg Regan, Shane Kavanagh, Ger Farragher & Damien Hayes.


The Offaly U21 team that beat Kilkenny in the Leinster final six days later was:-
Shane O’Connor;
David Moran, Mick O’Hara (capt.), John Paul O’Meara;
David Franks, Willie Comerford, Stephen Brown;
Aidan Hanrahan, Declan Tanner,
Paul Molloy, Conor Gath, Brendan Murphy;
Rory Hanniffy, Eoin McGuinness, Damien Murray.
Subs were: Jason Ryan, Shane Horan, Joe Brady, Gary O’Connor, Richie McRedmond, David Carney, Paul Carroll, Paddy Teehan, Brian Troy.
Management was: Percy Clendennen (manager), Joe O’Connor and Ger Brereton.

The Kilkenny team featured Jamie Power in goal, Paul Shefflin, Noel Hickey & Mick Kavanagh in the full-back line, Micheál Hoyne & Aidan Cummins at 5 & 6 respectively. Henry Shefflin was unable to start owing to injury but something tells me he came on late in the game.

I missed that game but I still recall Dermot Crowe’s report in the next day’s ‘Sindo’ when he wrote (I’m paraphrasing) that the attendance witnessed a match they’d remember for the rest of their lives. I wonder is that piece available online.

By the time Offaly’s All-Ireland semi-final with Galway came around, Mick O’Hara (who was also a Senior panellist) had done his cruciate for the first time. Shane Horan came into the lineup and Seán Ormond and John McLoughney were added to the panel.

That Galway team was led by Eoin McDonagh, Diarmuid Cloonan, Derek Hardinam, and David Tierney.

Great stuff, I was going to ask for the subs too, on the other thread, but thought nobody would have all those details, thanks very much POTH, what a great year 2000 was!

He did POTH, I was at it (in Portlaoise), he nearly stole them a draw they wouldn't have deserved too.

yes POTH Dylan Hayden was added to the squad, if i remember Jason Larkin from C/riverstown
went AWOL after the leinster final.

did Stephen Browne play in the minor football leinster final that year or was it 2001.

Not wanting to hijack the thread too much townman but i think the chap that died wasn't a hurler. Could be related to chap of the same surname on the B/K team. Stand to be corrected on this too.

Sorry Hesh, his brother so, stilL may he RIP.

Again, ended up down a wormhole. Is this the same Cllr. Clendennen (FG) who had some difficulty with the revenue commissioners? If so, what is the background of his involvement in hurling?

Percy's background in hurling is that he hurled in goals for Kinnitty for 20+ years, winning six Offaly SHCs and was Offaly sub goalkeeper for 1969's Leinster final and for a few years following that.

Some great hurlers on them teams real class...but then some very ordinary hurlers also.

Them very same ordinary hurlers would destroy our strongest now..what a shame!

Thanks, and in terms of coaching?
