Thought the atmosphere was good, seen a good bit of meath spirit on the field, we played until the final whistle, and worked hard throughout the field. Nice fast direct ball worked. Hopefully we can build on this LoyalRoyal66 (Meath) - Posts: 85 - 08/12/2019 19:03:19 2253843 Link 0 |

Brian Conlon looked lost. Yorke I thought did ok , agree re O'Connor and lynch. It's early December so not too bothered , won't make up mind on who should be starting in Omagh until this is over, but a few would need a bit of improvement to make the panel. That been said the weather was terrible, and they kept fighting till the end. so can't be too negative. expect a raft of changes for the Mullingar game.

Ah fair enough, my apologies. I recognised the surnames and assumed it was a stronger side on that, all the same Louth teams cherish beating Meath and good Louth teams have been periodically able to do so down the years so hopefully they push on and have a good season.

Exactly, very poor conditions. Wouldn't be too worried and im sure management will be happy with the effort from some of the newbies. Looking forward to the next one in Mullingar

This post sums the game up perfectly no atmosphere 0 intensity right form start to finish Louth deserved there win should have won by only very poor finishing with at least 2 goal chances. Yorke did well to stop goal chances. Meath struggled to get there hands on the ball and when they did game it away cheaply. Waste of time going to game really. Maybe it's just a bit better than a traning session but only just. Robin Clarke I did well. Costello did ok in the second half he was nervous in first. Lynch and O'Connor where good. Nice to see donal leinhan back if he was only on for 1.30.

Actually for some odd reasons some of the best players in Westmeath aren't on the team. Now maybe they been drafted in. Haven't got updates on new additions. But I'll help anyway I can :)

Good Man yourself, would there be any chance you could develop a kickout strategy.

Nothing odd about that .....sure only a few of the actual Meath players are involved in this tournament , so why is it odd for Westmeath ?

westmeath are only using the o byrne cup as a means of blooding new players . their focus is staying in division 2 and winning or losing an o byrne cup will not alter that plan mickcunningham (Westmeath) - Posts: 1873 - 10/12/2019 15:31:45 2254117 Link 3 |

Not speaking specially about this tournament. In general. Thought that was obvious. My mistake

Another not great performance today but who really cares. O'Byrne cup in December is fairly laughable LeitrimRoyal99 (Meath) - Posts: 1527 - 14/12/2019 20:22:37 2254866 Link 9 |

Anyone got the lineup from today? LoyalRoyal (None) - Posts: 464 - 14/12/2019 21:39:15 2254873 Link 0 |

Yeah I have the one sheet program, but lot of the names were wrong. I'll post it tomorrow. One observation from today was that when we have a narrow lead play keep ball. Don't kick possession away. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 14/12/2019 22:01:45 2254876 Link 1 |

Even though we were under strength we were eliminated by under strength Division 3 & 2 teams not exactly a show of strength from our reserves. Wasn't at today's game but was listening and we lost at the lead at the death by playing 'keep ball' rather than going for the insurance point. Viewing tapes of the 80s team should be mandatory viewing for those boys, create a bit of belief to keep going no matter what. And I would also throw in the full 80 minutes of the 1970 Leinster Final as well.
