Replying To ziggy32001: "Any reason why they couldn't have the hurling and football game as a double header on Sunday?" Say it just came down to the powers that be probably didn't want navan cut up by the hurlers before the football. Or else the fixtures people are just plain thick.

Disappointing the lads couldn't of held on to the half time lead. Ended up at the football but sounded like a frantic end to the match with goals flying in. Next up Kildare and repeat of the Christy Ring semi. RoyalBadger (Meath) - Posts: 571 - 09/01/2017 08:46:32 1944198 Link

Very positive day for the hurlers. Ran a full strength Offaly team all the way. Very solid defensively in the first 35. Holding an Offaly forward line with Shane Dooley to 4 points. Meath seemed to abandon the extra man around the middle for the 2nd half which left an exposed defence conceding 3-8 for the 2nd 35. However, Walsh Cup is for trying systems and players out, with Meath emptying the bench and still finishing strong. League is definitely there for the taking this year with the panel available. begining (UK) - Posts: 300 - 09/01/2017 15:16:01 1944321 Link

Exactly. Good few young lads there coming through and fighting for squad positions too. Then the likes of clynch and few others to give that edge when needed.. all going good Irish_downunder (Meath) - Posts: 630 - 09/01/2017 16:13:40 1944342 Link

Great to win that Kildare led for most of the game, it took a huge final push to win it. 0-10 from Toher a great return. RoyalBadger (Meath) - Posts: 571 - 16/01/2017 10:21:11 1945996 Link

Good win alright but taught we were better team and should of won by more. Disappointing to see a player that was subsituted in first half come back on with 10 minutes to go, is this not time to try players out and looked like there was enough of players on the bench.

Peter Farrell was excellent when he came in. demoralising for panel members not getting a chance. that said, meath were struggling for scores at times up front and heffernan on his day is top class overthehill72 (Meath) - Posts: 334 - 16/01/2017 11:44:07 1946033 Link

Carlow IT will be very tough on Wednesday and this is when ya need a strong team. Bugsy (Meath) - Posts: 58 - 16/01/2017 12:19:06 1946052 Link
Agree on player going off and coming back on that's not fair on other players and yes bad management by far. They don't believe in other guys they have there. Very bad management. mikebasset2011 (Meath) - Posts: 154 - 17/01/2017 20:54:26 1946494 Link
Well that could of been one of the great Meath comebacks if ITC hadn't knicked that point in the end. Shame we went 15 down thats a worry but at least the comeback shows theres a fighting spirit and pride in what they do that could stand to them when it counts later in the year.
