The Tipp, Lim, Clare, Galway, (Kerry) u17 teams played round robin games the 6 th , 13 th , 20 th March

The GAA runs blitzes for regional teams simultaneously with the elite Dev squad structure. For example, the day Tipp
u15A & B played Galway & Cork recently, Cork Mid, Cork East, Galway East, Tipp South, Lim South etc played blitz
games. Players mature at different ages and running the divisional / regional squads ensures the don’t get lost in any
one year. i.e. A lad may not be at the level at 14, but could make Tipp u14 or u15 South and by 17 may have progressed
onto the minor panel.
