Minor - U20 Hurling Championship 2020

(Oldest Posts First)

I have followed the Hogan stand for years but never had the courage to post any topic.

I am wondering has anyone any thoughts on what will happen to this years Minor and U20 panels if the championship is not played as the players on the age will be overage next year.

Could we revert back to U18 and U21 for 2021 to let these players have the championship they deserve after all the preparation?

The GAA should be reminded that this years on the age u20's ie born in 2000 also pulled the short straw when Minor went from U18 to U17s, can the GAA shaft these lads again?

Fingers crossed they will get to play their championships after September, the minors may have to go to knock out which is the current format of the U20's.

I'd imagine reverting back to u12,14,16,18 & 21 in 2021 is a live possibility.

Looks like we might know more today, hopefully the U20 knockout format might save this competition.
