No team news as far as I am aware, I presume they trained last night, Hope Healy is fit , I would play him at number 8 what you think

no i think number 6 centre back is his spot, but i hope they dont start him if he is in any doubt. better off rest him for westmeath game if he is half injured. i think we can give laois a really good rattle. there will be some party sunday night if we could pull off a win!

Hopefully home advantage will count for the minors

Healy named in the starting lineup. Must be a dummy team.
Good luck to the lads tomorrow. Hopefully a bigger crowd than last week. Cut out some of the silly mistakes we made throughout and we have a great chance. One more win should guarantee us a crack at either Wexford or Offaly.

SHOCKING DISAPPOINTED,
A lad telling me on the way out after the match, we beat westmeath , Laois beat Kerry and Meath are in Quarter final.
Laois would have to beat Kerry because if they dont they would then play Wexford !!!
Staying in Leinster is in our own hands against Westmeath, A win or draw we stay up, and I would take that

Laois don't need to beat Kerry unfortunately. The 2 top teams from the qualifying group will be put into a draw, with one of them facing Offaly and one facing Wexford. Laois are already though so it makes no difference to them.

Harsh lesson for the team that they will hopefully learn from. Some of the mistakes they made will be ruthlessly punished against these teams whereas they would be getting away with them against division 2B sides. Also, I'd like to see our wide count as I thought we hit a shocking number of them as well as dropping a number of efforts short. Missed at least 4 gilt edged goal chances as well that would have put some respectability on the scoreline.

Good to have 2 weeks to recover from that. If we play the way we can, there's no reason why we can't beat Westmeath. Laois are not 100% guaranteed to be in a quarter final. Hopefully that'll mean they won't play a massively weakened side against Kerry. We've just got to ensure we get something from Westmeath as a loss would surely relegate us.

Today was a big learning curve. We were very naive in the 1st half. To let a fella score 3-5 from play from midfield in a half is bad enough, but to do it with a sweeper is beyond belief. We missed Healy badly today. We were unable to break through Laois tackles at all they were much physically stronger then us. Having said that we created at least 4 other clear cut goal chances as we had the legs on the Laois backs. Still all to play for in Mullingar in 2 weeks.

Hopefully all will learn from today. Sweeper was not need today left to long this way and left Meath wide open. Fitness is another item we were off pace. First touch not good enough at this level. A lot if wasted ball and chances. Physical we were not at the same level. Short puck out we are gaining nothing from them other than trouble.

Westmeath will bring there A game and a tight pitch which wont suut Meath.
