Replying To royaldunne: "Ok when is next game?" this Saturday the 7th. Semi final against Laois, at 12pm in Portlaois. Laois' results in the other group weren't great so we'd be favourites. Kildare vs Wicklow in the other semi LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1458 - 04/07/2018 20:29:47 2118631 Link
Brilliant performance today, full forward line lethal. Cian McBride is as good a midfielder as I have ever seen at this age. Into a Leinster final now (first time since 2012 at Minor) and going for back to back under 17's. Guaranteed an All Ireland quarter win or lose the final but Leinster don't grow on trees so hopefully we can do it, we are well capable LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1458 - 07/07/2018 15:15:10 2119349 Link

Need to take Kildare down in this one. Word of caution though, Kildare also gave Laois a hiding. ziggy320001 (Meath) - Posts: 2432 - 07/07/2018 15:56:06 2119350 Link

We need a provincial title and I really hope these guys can fish the job now, having seen them today I see no reason why they can't do so, well done to all......

We have the players coming through from last years U17s and now this minor team. As I said in another thread, U20s is a very important job these days. We need to get the right men in charge who understand modern systems. ziggy320001 (Meath) - Posts: 2432 - 07/07/2018 16:40:59 2119361 Link

Replying To meath1977: "Kildare has to beat Wicklow first game tomorrow at two" Fair point, but I suspect they will. Either way we need to finish the job ziggy320001 (Meath) - Posts: 2432 - 07/07/2018 18:40:45 2119391 Link
Replying To ziggy320001: "Fair point, but I suspect they will. Either way we need to finish the job" yes we seem to have a special team here but it would be great to go into the all-Ireland 1/4 finals as Leinster champions meath1977 (Meath) - Posts: 534 - 07/07/2018 18:43:33 2119392 Link

Have to win championships to push through. It has been a long time Royalio11 (Meath) - Posts: 757 - 08/07/2018 12:25:54 2119567 Link
Replying To ziggy320001: "Ya silverware is vital for confidence." I presume Kildare will win today and will play Meath in Leinster final. This will be the first real test this Meath minor team will have as all the teams to date have been very poor. royaljackeen (Meath) - Posts: 37 - 08/07/2018 12:55:07 2119581 Link
A draw today in the other semi final, sounded like a mad game. A replay suits us down to the ground means we will be the fresher team LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1458 - 08/07/2018 16:04:18 2119638 Link
First off. Very good win Wicklow drawn with Kildare is interesting. But bottom line is we MUST win Leinster. Would also agree re u20 been very very important next year and year after . I personally would like to see GG take the reigns. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 08/07/2018 17:56:07 2119710 Link
What was the score on Monday night, Meath v Wicklow, understand we gave most of panel a run seadog54 (Meath) - Posts: 2142 - 08/07/2018 18:29:24 2119721 Link
Replying To seadog54: "What was the score on Monday night, Meath v Wicklow, understand we gave most of panel a run" We lost 1-10 to 1-8, but we made 13 changes for the Laois game. Wouldn't read into it at all LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1458 - 08/07/2018 19:25:54 2119751 Link
Was kind of following the Meath minors this year as there is a line of form between them and our lads. Both got to the final of the Gerry Reilly cup last year, and while we won it after taking a commanding lead early on (8 points), I would not have liked it to go on much longer with Meath finishing stronger only losing by one in the end. We won the Ulster league and championship this year so I expect Meath to do likewise and be competing for All Ireland honours. There is a ruthless side to this Meath set up, even, ahem, losing to Wicklow to knock out Dublin!! See ya in the final (again) hopefully. mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 15/07/2018 21:17:30 2122397 Link
