Kinda irks me that the players and management seem to have given up mentally before a ball has even been kicked, i mean i know the Dubs are better well funded and prepared but its still 15 v 15, if the players are fit enough to hang with the dubs till the end then really its all down to mentality and that's whats sadly lacking at coaching and board level at the momentjimbob17 wrote:Minor football team playing Dublin on Saturday in first round......

I don't think it's likely that the players or management have conceded anything at this stage.Truth as i see it wrote:Kinda irks me that the players and management seem to have given up mentally before a ball has even been kicked, i mean i know the Dubs are better well funded and prepared but its still 15 v 15, if the players are fit enough to hang with the dubs till the end then really its all down to mentality and that's whats sadly lacking at coaching and board level at the momentjimbob17 wrote:Minor football team playing Dublin on Saturday in first round......

DUBLIN 2-11 OFFALY 1-9
Dublin delivered an improved second-half display as they accounted for Offaly by five points in their Electric Ireland Leinster Minor Football Championship 1st round tie at Parnell Park on Saturday lunchtime.
Ultimately, it was two goals from midfielder Aaron Elliot that proved the difference between the sides although Offaly can take encouragement from an impressive showing throughout.
It was the visitors who started the brighter and they enjoyed a two point lead after five minutes thanks to a brace of excellent scores by Dylan Hyland.
Despite Dublin responding through successive points by Callum Pearson and substitute Shane Howard, Offaly were far sharper in the initial stages and they regained their lead through Ryan Heavin’s 11th minute point.
A struggling home side enjoyed a brief lead following scores by Dillon Keating and Howard but the Faithful County ensured a deserved 0-5 to 0-4 interval lead thanks to two points from the towering Ciaran Maher.
Offaly built on that advantage as Shane Tierney added two points within four minutes of the restart but the visitors ceded territory as the half progressed and the Dubs took advantage to level matters through a Keating brace and Pearson.
Elliot struck for his first goal in the 42nd minute after a jinking run by Keating but Offaly replied in kind nine minutes later as substitute Jordan Hayes fired home from Tierney’s pass.
However, the hosts finished in the ascendancy with Elliot netting five minutes from time and further points by Keating and Callaghan confirmed their progression to the second stage.
Scorers for Dublin: A Elliot 2-0, D Keating 0-4 (1f), C Pearson (1f), S Howard, K Callaghan 0-2 each, J Kindlon 0-1.
Scorers for Offaly: J Hayes 1-1, C Maher, S Tierney (1f), D Hyland 0-2 each, R Heavin, J Lowry 0-1 each.
